  • This is a some heavy stuff. When you talk, you know what idea you want to share and how you are going to share it, from beginning to end. If I talked like I improvise, people would think I was an idiot. Youtubers, I just realized that all I'm communicating in my music is that i've learned my scales.... I'm going to take a nap now.

  • He said 'Hank Mobley' for tenor.

  • I was trying to hear what he was saying at 0:40, so i turned on captions, it said "well congress"

  • @YoungJiBest and?

  • this guy has all the answers... seriously

  • @electrokat1000 Get Aebersold vol 1. Before you play anything read it and then read it again. Play and read it again. Rinse repeat. Go see LIVE Jazz. Do it all again then do it some more.

  • "play that you meant it"

  • wow this is so good!!! i am a 15 year old pianist and i am desperate to get into jazz- i just dont know how to get onto improv. thanks so much JazzVideoGuy!!!

  • i love his analogy of playing jazz as learning a new language

  • I love this cat. Makes it so simple. Dig deep into the tradition, then master one line/lick/piece at a time and 'make it your own'. Thanks Mr. Mulgrew (and jazzvideoguy too!)

  • Piano players... have you heard Mulgrew Miller...

  • I never approached improvisation the way he does. This gives me relief because my improvisation sucks now I know what to do with my guitar.
