'Effendi' (McCoy Tyner) - jazz piano tutorial

This is another reworking of a midi file I did quite a few years ago into a jazz piano tutorial. The song is 'Effendi' by McCoy Tyner. I notice that someone else has put that midi file to good use for double bass practice.

He has added his own excellent bass playing with my piano/bass tracks.
On my DVD ($25 for over 140 printable transcriptions, over 9 hours of high quality videos, midi files, backing tracks etc.) is a printable transcription, and bass and drums backing track for this McCoy Tyner piece.

i transcribed the original McCoy Tyner version of this last month (though i added three horns to the arrangement). Its a great composition but i never seem to hear it ever played on jazz gigs (or otherwise recorded). Took me ages to obtain the cd of it. Its quite strange because 'on paper' it looks as though its a much SLOWER tempi/composition !!

Just landed here as I'm practicing my electric bass that I first picked up aged 51. Although not quite ready to tackle something like this, can I say how much I admire this piece and how it's being played. I try to pick up on some of the bass part. Any ideas for similar stuff that more of a beginner might enjoy and benefit from?

Thanks. This helped me understand modal jazz a little better.

A wonderful post, even for mere jazz listeners who leave tutelage to the likes of Herbie Mann ; )

This jazz tune/style was missing in your repertoire Doug. Absolutely great playing, I also love the bass part.

Sound very realistic. *****
