Hey great video! im currently trying to learn this kind of piano playing. What KEY is this improvisation in?

[tamldn]

Thank you for your tutorial.

By any chance, have you done also exact copy of any of HH's improvisations? If so, it would be great to see those with Midikeys.

[Lot2learn]

I appreciate your comment.

[Skyblueginger]

Well impressive and a great chord prog.

[Lot2learn]

Thank you.

[Skyblueginger]

Just out of interest. Is the scale/harmony your playing over the last chord the C alt scale Rodger or some form of it with a few extra notes ie Be-Bop additions at some points, or maybe some F Blues. Can't quite catch them. Cheers

[Lot2learn]

Yes, I guess you could consider it some type of a C altered scale. The main notes I am using are C-Db-Eb-E-Gb-Ab-C

[Skyblueginger]

Ok. Many thanks.

Jazz in a suit jacket (or sport coat).

Description is very good/instructive.

Felt right at home when I heard "Stranger in Paradise" implied at :38.

Nice, Roger! *****

[Lot2learn]

@joeholtsnotes Ha ha! Funny you mention the sport coat. I had just finished-up at my office and decided to lay down this quick take and stay in my "Clark Kent" disguise. ;-)

Only you, the "King of Quotes" would hear a quote that was done totally unbeknownst to the quoter. ;-)

[joeholtsnotes]

But that's when it's the real thing!

Now you enter my world: Imagine if you did notice...maybe you would have a look of "now, how did that get in there" too! Of course, we seldom see your face, so who knows what you're thinking. :)

[florbo73]

Great work Roger, very cool lines :) thank you always for the passion to show your musical experience!!!

[Lamename90210]

Dang! How do yr fingers do that!

[chicoflaco]

don't recognize those left hand voicings...must be herbie's later period?

[israelmustrise]

soundin hot as always.

[urbania70]

PD - which is the 4th chord of the theme - C7/#9 (as often played by LH), Db7 (as on video annotation) or Gb7 (as in video description)? Thanx

[Lot2learn]

@urbania70 yes it is in fact a C7#9 but with Gb being played in the bass makes it a Gb13 - but it's tritone sub stuff anyway.

[urbania70]

Oh yes sure.. thanx!

[urbania70]

Great solos - much variety still in appropriated Hancock style. Very useful video!

[Gregorykboard]

Very very good!!!

[maty7976321]

Great Video!!, Realy amazing how you put all those scales together!!, and look at that speed! nice work!!
