Bud Powell-- Chick Corea Tune

This is a challenging tune to play. Chick Corea did it on his Remembering Bud Powell album. He does a duet with vibraphonist Gary Burton. The original recording is amazing and highly recommended. This is a tough, tough tune, so some parts are prearranged, but I play it a little differently each time. I put a quick timing explanation at the end of video that may be of interest.

Thanks for the bit at the end, and reminding us that straight 8's are O-K. The comparison -- complete with "in-between" -- says more than volumes of texts. I play with a bunch of swing-8s-or-burn-the-heathen types and tend to lose my perspective on what I naturally prefer and know to be O-K -- straight 8s (or at least pretty close.)

Also, is that Steinway S? I have a 1929 S and am interested in knowing if I'm hearing one well recorded (which it is) or if it's something else.

thx

One of the many things I have tried to learn from your excellent videos is the concept of answering the right hand by playing a solo line in the left. Thank you.

this does everything music should do - takes you away and brings you back - but to a different place. thanks a million. you lifted my spirits and now they dont want to come down.

hi, do you have any sheet music of what you are playing here?

Chick's straight 8's is something terrific... It has some deep energy and Chick's 8's are absolutely different that anyone's straight 8's as for me.

He is biggest influence for me.

Thanks for posting his tune! It's realy difficult to play and you do it very good!

Good swingin', good playin'! Only lost the rhythmic pulse a couple times, and that may have been me.

When I was listening to this it occured to me me that it sounded a bit like Shearing. He is a fan of Powell of course and uses many of the devices you used, including straight eights. Thanks for explaining what is such a subtle but effective device.
