Kent, You are by far the most comprehensive and concise piano and music educator. I'm a guitarist trying to learn piano as a second instrument.

Another great lesson with enough insights to reward multiple viewings. Thanks again for being an essential ingredient in the jazz enlightenment of myself and many others.

Always very useful to watch Kent´s lessons. Many essential tips in a short time, and great playing by himself..

You really got a great swing and jazzy touch thats the Spirit!

Wonderful tutorial, again...

I bought your book several years ago and can't wait to retire so I'll have the opportunity to dig deep. You are an outstanding musician and educator. Thanks for your insightful videos!

Gracias maestro por tu sabiduria!🎹🎷🎵

You have probably the best vid lessons I've seen so far. Really top to bottom. Great teaching

Thanks! This is a lot to think about, some of it above what I could execute, but very eye-opening to understand. Great to hear how it is to play with a trio, and help them 'swing harder'.

Great video. Great tips. Love the music

Great tips. Been at this 50+ years and am still learning.

You are a jewel Sir.

Great tips Kent and playing- also love Keith Jarrett trio standard versions too! 👍

KH really cookin' and swingin' loose on this one. I particularly like the 'outside' playing near the end and would like some guidance on how and when this can be done to perfect the 'modern' sound.

Thank you for the super helpful tutorial. My song book uses F7-E7-Eflat7-D7 sequence in the middle section and I saw in this video you do so. I felt a bit confusing, but I understood that it is ok to just use F major or F blues scale whatever chord comes.

本買いました！いつもありがとう！日本から！

Excelente Master!!! Saludos cordiales desde Argentina!!!

Nice one Kent. It's almost that time of year, how about a little Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most? I appreciate everything you do!

OH GREAT ONE ! LOVE DAT SOUND, MISTER ! YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'VE BEEN PLAYIN' SIX NIGHTS A WEEK AGAIN ! DO I HEAR SOME 6TH DIMINISHED SCALE IN HERE ? REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE ! THANKS KENT

thank mr Kent Hewitt for good jazz tutorials and calcium

Thanks for some more sophisticated ideas for this tune. I've played it for years - not willingly - thinking it was too corny to sound jazzy... but you make it sound very hip indeed!

Wow - you really made Blackbird swing Kent! This video was so impressive I can't stop watching and learning from it!! You are simply magnificent......You have made a hero out of this boring song!!

I love your video on Bye Bye Blackbird. Thanks. I'd love to see a Duo for a piano player on how to play with just a saxophone and piano. How do you play with the right hand and with the left hand. How do you keep the rhythm going? Thanks

Great master class Kent. Your topic is for trio but the way you teach also brings me solutions for my 8-member half-professional band (we like saying 5/8 professional!) With them I'm playing mainly spread voicing. Could you talk about Duke Ellington's or Count Basie's playing.

g r a c i a s Kent !

Kent, I think I’ve converted my brother-in-law into a Kent Hewett fan. I had him start watching the performance of this video, as I went to get us some coffee. He’s always been a jazz fan but was not familiar with your work. But we both are definite Kent Hewett fans now. Thanks for making these recordings for us.

Hello mr. Hewitt. I watching a lot of your videos and want to appreciate you for all of you doing. I'm just a beginning jazz pianist and your methods is most understandable for me. And I want to ask you: can you please make a tutorial for Take Five by Dave Brubeck? I'm very interested of how you could give us some advices about rhythm in 5/4 and possible ideas for soloing over changes as solo piano. Sorry for my English and thanks!

Wow....

Thanks

every time i feel stressed i came here to cure my mode ^.^ thank you sir

Do you have a video on a daily practice routine?

Hey Kent ,amazing stuff as always.Can you do a song by Roberto Fonseca called Lo Que Me Hace Vivir with the score please ?If you havent checked it you should definitely hear it

Hi Kent, great lesson, what backing tracks do you use please? Thanks Simon.

I wish more generation Z kids like myself would treasure men like yourself who have so much musical sagacity to offer to the younger generations such as myself.

Nice chops indeed Kent, would love to know the name of the sauce you use to marinade those chops with, great video as always.

Fabulous as always Kent! I was just wondering, one of my favourite formations in jazz is piano, bass, guitar, ala Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown amongst others. I’m a guitarist, and I’d really like to play in this setting. What do you expect from a guitarist in this situation? Would you expect the piano doing the majority of the comping?

Hello Kent Excellent piano chennel! Could you show Bye Bye Blackbird in a solo piano style. If you ever get the chance? I am working up a set list for what will be my first solo instrumental piano gig. Without singing this time like I sang at the other jobs you know pop stuff like Billy Joel that type of stuff. I don't have your fancy piano chops or excellent left hand harmonies. But I am working hard on it lol.... How long did it take you to play that good. Amazing! Anyways sorry for rambling on in this email. I look forward to it if you find the time. If not, thats total understandable. I'm just glad you take your valuable time to show all those cool piano lessons! Cheers! Steve Henry

Fantastic as usual!! What's the backing track btw?

Awesome playing and great tips. I always thought Ray Henderson was the composer of Bye Bye Blackbird (and Mort Dixon was the lyricist). I'm not sure why you give credit to Fred Hamm and David Bennett, but I'm guessing it was a mistake.

I'll try to remember your finger in my prayers I love you Broadway musicals I guess that's where they are Showtunes

Hey Kent what is the song from the intro?

Have you tried playing the song "the saga of Harrison Crabfeathers"

kent will you teach us elsa by bill evans

In the 60s Armstrong played the same solos in the same way all the time. Hmmmm 🤔
