Impromptu Jazz Funk Blues Improv: C Jam Blues + Chameleon

[NorCalKnut]

Aaand it was improv...yea your good you...

[NorCalKnut]

...and I like how you kicked up some.dirt and went clean and out. Very cool. I'm just learning jazz but this reminds me of the way Fats Waller plays...happy and entertaining with his big ol huge smile

[NorCalKnut]

Finally something I can work with! Thank you funkmaster fingers!

[eric669]

great!

[kdesmond101]

damn, loved the groove around 3:00 into chameleon

[fewerbeansplease]

The walking bass... I love it and am finally learning it through this video. And...love your attitude....so cool, so modest, yet a consummate musician who obviously loves what he's done. Thank you so much!!

[TheScarletSonata]

Great blues! It sound like all you're really using is blues scale and "the" blues licks (which normally I don't like), but you do it so damn well I don't mind lol.

Shoooooww de Bola !! habilidade, ousadia, criatividade, musicalidade. ! puro talento ! parabéns

[Siddl]

I cried

[darktangent10]

there are no flubs in jazz!

[adventureman123]

I like that little Chameleon lick in there

[Grade4E71]

I have a hard time just learning the bass line for a basic blues. So the Chameleon bass line is very difficult. I will just have to watch the tutorials over and over and practice the left hand slowly and repeatedly to get it to be automatic.

[RockstarOlga]

[quemerda123]

Realmente Incrível!

[Schpikster]

Hey, that was amazing. Loved it.

I know you were just improvising but wondered if by any chance you'd recorded the midi input? If so, would you be able to upload the data/midi file or email it to me? Would love to be able to score this and learn to play it note for note (would take me forever to learn to play this by ear!)

[zufrieden23]

Hi Jonathon. 2 words for you. YOU ROCK!!! groove to the max!!!

[Kokotienko]

daaaaamn i almost jizzed in my pants

[Pianoninja924]

Ah!!!! When you started playing this I freaked out! We did something similar as the opening to my summer jazz camp performance. It was pretty awesome, just like this video!

[DanielxLira]

I like that jumpy bass :P

[jazzguy1947]

Fantastic!!! Can't get enough :)))

[omegslll]

This ROCKS!! superb mixing of blues+jazz+funk

[Thunderbird093]

Whooooooah! I'm watching it 6th time right now. Legendary, I totally adore this piece. Especially an outstanding bass line at the 'swingy' beginning! Looking forward to the main version!

[Joshuacuja]

killin', teach me that lick at 4:40!

[IguitarVreakI]

His foot is rockin' to the tune :D

[cochuckles33]

EPIC!!!!!! there is nothing else like this on youtube

[Owersym]

Nice one, I even recognize some parts from your "How to play a funk groove" at 4:05 ! ^^ My Herbie Hancocks improvs looks a bit flat compared to that :p

[madass88]

Absolutely sublime playing! Would be wonderful if you had a link to a mp3 version :D

[BluesMan2]

Nice!

[marcuskuip]

Love it! Give me more of that funky stuff!

[cocovi]

We want tutorials in this style too! Please.

[Ralphjons]

@ Yes a superb piece of virtuoso solo jazz piano from boogie woogie, stride and just having great fun. I particularly like the reference to cocktail piano lounge stuff at the end. Totally enjotable.
