'Just You, Just Me' - jazz piano lesson. Another in the series I have done aimed at intermediate to advanced jazz piano players. Hopefully with information provided in several different forms - through the audio, the notation, and a clear view of the notes played on a keyboard, as well as comments that aim to explain anything that could be of interest - all these may help students.
It is a fairly easy tune to tackle - I seem to remember that Benny Goodman did it. But through Monk and later jazz musicians it mutated into a number of different incarnations. This video was derived from a midi file that I had recorded and annotated some time ago.A much clearer version of this video can be streamed or downloaded from

along with a transcription in pdf format, 'backing track' and the original midi file. It is much easier if you have the video file playing in another media player that will let you stop/start/loop these Youtube videos to read the comments.
Monk originally came up with the play on words title "Justice" before renaming his contrafact composition "Evidence".

Great playing Doug. I like the "outside" playing in the right hand at 1:39 complimented by the stacked 4ths voicing in the left.

Once again great stuff - particularly loved the block chords and the runs.
