'More Than You Know' (HD) - Michelle Benjamin - jazz piano accompaniment tutorial

[The8ighthBit]

homegirl sounds superb

[akalcov]

Your style of playing and accompaniment is my favourite of any jazz pianist I have ever heard - I know we're all supposed to have our own style but its tempting to just try to sound even a tiny bit like you.

[DancinMusician]

I love it! Thanks also for the transcription.

EXTRAORDINARIOS

[dreamcatcher2092]

Nice voice and good piano player!

[Chouchoumickkenny]

Very, very nice piano! How can I access a printed version of the notes so I can give it a whirl?

[MrAtlantajazz]

Love your mellow sound. All on the same page musically. Love it when it all comes together like this.

[justasondheimbaby]

this is fabulous. I've loved this song forever and a day. Well done!

[lyfizgood1]

I just love her voice! And Doug's playing is fantastic! What a wonderful combination they make. What a shame they don't have an album (or 20 albums! I would buy them all!).

Werkelijk prachtig

[wavesofgrain1]

I am breathless with awe! You both have unique phrasing. This is what I want to hear when I go out at night. Enough of karaoke in the clubs.

[DarkJoker99]

Dear god, okay this may seem totally off topic, but her voice reminds me of the woman who sings Snake's song in Metal Gear Solid 3. I love it! <3

[Gsodarox]

Wonderful song and performance....."APPLAUSE"....

[leega8010]

This is what I call a perfect balance between a singer and accompaniest- kudos guys!!! Michelle with her soulful interpretation of the lyrics and Doug with his subtle licks.

*****'s

[voggala]

Great, thank you so much!

[greob]

Very nice! And instructive.

This piece doesn't seem very easy anyway. Reminds me of Elizabeth Kontomanou, who did an amazing take on this standard.

確かな歌唱力と蕩けそうなジャズを弾くシンセサイザーのピアノの­音声が耳に心地良いですね♪それに何時も思うけどジャズに興味を­待った初心者から上級者まで自宅にピアノかシンセサイザー、音楽­ソフトがあればゆっくり自分のペースで練習できる作りになってる­所が凄いですよね。今回も良かったんです♪はぁ～

[marg32]

Well done,... great vocal, piaano and memories for me. thanks..

[featureG]

A sweet and juicy rendition with a tasty piano solo right smack in the middle. Love your Michelle and wish she was all ours. Thank you Sir Doug.

[JimAtwood]

This is a great video and tutorial. What a treat. Thank you!

GRRRRREAT

[gfunk449]

Instructional videos aren't supposed to sound this good.

[ibechane]

That was really good! You and Michelle make an amazing team. And your production quality is really impressive on this one.

Out of curiosity, how are you recording Michelle? Do you think the distortion on the vocal track is coming from file-compression or recording or somewhere else?

[flapane]

yeah what about its poor quality?

[jazz2511]

As indicated in the info, the video was shot on a webcam so it is not surprising that this is a bit fuzzy. Regarding audio, the piano, and to some extent the vocal, have suffered in quality from the original recording - probably my fault in re-mastering the audio several times as I added the other video views to the original.

[MrRon58]

@jazz2511 Ignor that idiot Doug and Michelle... always remember Jazz is for the sophisticated ear! It's great for music students and working musicians to learn how listen to each other!

C'mon you're not a videographer... just ignore negative comments!
