'Maiden Voyage' - jazz piano lesson.
You will probably need to view this in high quality to see the transcription - http://youtube.com/watch?v=S8R29eAfQ0k&fmt=18
A very clear copy of the video, and the annotated midi file, with LH and RH bass/treble split, is available (free) on my website at

This was one of the first compositions that required 'modal' playing - it had sections in 4 key centres - each 4 measures long before changing key. Usually the chord quality for each is a dominant 7th with suspended 4th (D7sus,F7sus, Eb7sus, Db7sus) and unusually (for its time) the suspended chords were not resolved in the usual way.
At the start, , I used another chord quality on each 4 bar key centre - using Major 7th #5 chords instead.
Thankx for the lesson very nice.

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

@congero21 About that. But with Herbie, it's more about the harmonic rhythm, and the actual voicings of the chords. He finds really exciting ways to voice fairly standard chords.

One of my fav songs, sung & played by so many, some have not heard the word. Excellent version and I like the way it shows what you are playing. I am trying to play chords on vibraphone
