You are awesome - thank you for sharing your style with us - I don't exactly know what all this notation stuff means - I only know a few simple chords - most of the music is in my head. I feel/ hear it and try to bring it out right, but I wish I knew a bit more about notations :)
Dear Master Mc kenzie... thanks a lot for this lessons... I hope that I will make my problems of jazz Piano about harmony and technic(with you lessons)... you are the wonderful jazzman. I am blest that I find your videos .......I am of Iran Tebriz city....
Wow Doug - so much great playing on this!! Your block chording really sets the tone intermingled with your wonderful and logical single note lines. The chording at 2:22 and 2:28 - great! Thanks so much for posting some more great material to listen to and study!
Hey Doug, this is simply awesome. I just started learning jazz for the first time in my life and my question to you is how long will it take to be a master at this just like you?
@balow7 just keep playing and forget about a time-line. I hope to get more of this beautiful language under my finger tips, but until then I will just enjoy listening to my instrument and absorbing as much as I can. Keep on playing and play like it's life or death.
Depending on the player, you can sight read this material after about 3 years of steady playing. Don't worry..a lot of us still have to look twice to figure out the high notes...one of the benefits of playing tough material, is that you tend to memorize it by the time you really play it well, as opposed to easy stuff. I'm not kidding...it just happens. Well it's not that dense compared to say Doug's work on Horace Silver's Strollin, also on youtube.
Had never thought of using the diminished scale. You are a genius!
Thanks so much.

Hi Doug,
I am in Sweden and now listening to your wonderful interpretation of Blue in Green, a song I am not familiar with and have never played.
Sound quality is splendid and I also very much like the way the el.bass walks.
I also listened to your pal Roger´s playing - I certainly have a lot of learn from both of you,
Keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
Bruno (MrBruno1935)
