'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' - jazz piano lesson

A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' - jazz piano lesson - it is best to watch in high quality http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=hPtnx1RejX0&fmt=18
Another favourite standard of jazz piano players with lots of different possibilities in the harmony.
As with all these instructional videos, you can download an much higher quality copy from my website at
http://www.bushgrafts.com
There is also a pdf printable copy of the transcription on my instructional DVD (details on website)
A good tip to slow down and study these DVD videos is to play them in Windows Media Player and press 'Ctrl/Shift/S' to slow down without altering pitch. 'Ctrl/Shift/N' returns to normal speed. This of course does not work for the Youtube version or while streaming from my website.

Very nice applications. By the way, what type of software are you using to display the notes on the keyboard?

[jazz2511]

Thanks! I use a combination - Sonar to add a 'click' track to the rubato sections (then 'fit improvisation' to line up music correctly in bars), 'PowerTracks' to create the notation and keyboard view, and Camtasia to add comments, capture on video the computer screens, and create the final video.

This is beautiful and the good news is you do not have to be a virtuoso pianist to play it-one of my favourites from the DVD. Keep 'em coming Doug , what you have given to the aspiring jazz pianists of the world is wonderful, thanks.

holy. crap.

Nice one, Wolf ! I think it might work even better with the local pronunciation of Berkeley Sq. : "BAHRkly", or the posher "BAHRkleh" (it is a very posh place, or used to be) rather than the American one. But I don't really know, never sung or played it.

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

This is the best version of this song I have ever heard! The chords you play are just amazing..I listen to this religiously when I'm depressed or sad and also to try and learn it...thank you so much for this video...
