This is still tonalism... he hasn't go that far as "atonal", he is just elaborating. Atonal is not the same as "not understandable", but for some reason it has got that reputation. Brad is a genius, because he knows on whom shoulders should stand, and he puts both heart, mind, and fingers, he is not partial...

Im not sure what this whole "technical vs emotional" argument is about. Does he not create a broad range of emotional textures and ideas while utilizing freakish technique? Quit thinking of ways to pull the music apart and LISTEN to it. Its called music theory for a reason. Its a theoretical explanation for the methods used to express.

sooo... hmmm... anyone wanna transcribe this?

Where's the rest!

how does he do it?

@ChrisLeePiano youre right...hes fantastic but he plays for musicians. only musicians mostly can appreciate sojme od hi works, but he should be playing for for the audience thugh..Bill Evans is my favorute pianist but that problem is what makes Oscar Peterson more popular
-
@jazzmuziq im shocked Bill Evans isn't on that list

Increíble!!!!!



its not "pretty easy" actually. I'm a professional jazz pianist and it's really difficult to get to the level of his expertise. And good listeners, especially who knows how to listen to post bop stuff can easily follow what he's doing. So he's not doing wahtever he wants just cuz not many people know what hes doing.

nasty playing..
all these polyrhythms and melody switching and interplaying btwn two hands and reharmonization. Sickest pianist. One of my 3 favorite pianist of all time with Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea
