[MatteMacPiano]

Superb playing, you're all very talented. It's a pity the bassist is so low, he's doing great. :)

no way.. was that part of the melodic line from autumn leaves at 2:57 if so, incredible to put it in there. i play random notes over the scale and am wondering if you could give any tips? maybe how you learned? a good book? thank you :) im looking for a teacher in the south florida (miami) but they are all classical pianist and id like to learn jazz.. any chance you do a workshop down here lol? :) keep it up you're great!

[geoffpeterstrio]

@alfredoball20 thanks so much! for me it was a combination of theory, listening to recordings, and a lot of experimenting at the keyboard alone and in jamming with others to discover sounds and notes that I like. a good book I recommend is The Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine. Also it's a great idea to pick up ideas from recordings that you enjoy :) also check your local colleges, maybe there are some faculty that know jazz that you could study with? I'd love to do a workshop someday!! cheers -G

@EndlessMagic thank you!! I am mostly self taught in jazz. I did classical piano training throughout high school and attended some jazz workshops at local colleges. I also studied with a jazz piano teacher in Vancouver.

Hey there.

This is a really smooth version of Tune up. Like it very well!

May I ask, which scales you use mostly?

Cheers, antonio

[ilgallogiallo]

Really nice music! :-)

How did you record this session?

[geoffpeterstrio]

@ilgallogiallo thanks! We used a Sony Minidisc recorder with a Sony Stereo Condenser microphone ECM-MS907 placed on a mic stand in front of the band. take care! - Geoff

[Andyrugaz]

Beautiful!

How much have you been playing the piano for?

[geoffpeterstrio]

@Andyrugaz Thank you!! I've been playing piano since I was five, and I am 28 now. :) I have been playing jazz for 7 years.

[dreamgypsy]

The voicings look like the ones on the jazz piano book by Mark Levine.

Nice performance btw.

[geoffpeterstrio]

thanks! :)

yea, I have that book and learned a few voicings from there.

[XiphiasFO]

I've been watching how you take the chords in Head part (theme/melody is called head isn't it?). the angle is just too sharp. I can see some though and trying to listen some off by ear.

[XiphiasFO]

I just found this song and I love your performance =)

I just can't figure out how to comp on this song. Piano that is. any help?

[geoffpeterstrio]

thanks!! :) if you are comping behind a soloist or horn playing the melody, you can try to sometimes fill in the spaces they leave with some nice supporting voicings.

I really like trying to echo some of the rhythmic or melodic ideas that the soloist is doing in my comping (but not all the time of course!)...

[samuelngkee]

Awesome*****

[geoffpeterstrio]

thanks!! :)
