Pianist, actor, heartthrob, and model Jeremy Siskind explains why targeting notes is at the core of learning to improvise in a bebop style at the piano. He shows different sorts of target devices and demonstrates how to practice them to incorporate them into your playing.

Great stuff. In your first enclosure exercise, you targeted the natural ninth on the Dominant. But then when you targeted the 7-th and then did an arpeggio, you usually (always?) hit the flat nine on the way up the arpeggio. It would be useful if you could do a lesson sometime on when to put in which alterations on the Dominant.
@stephanosioannou1825 Жыл бұрын
There are no rules to which alteration you have to use, it’s actually just flavours you yourself can pick out in the moment
@JeremySiskind Жыл бұрын
I totally agree with Stephano here. And I'd say that jazz musicians generally do alter the ninths of dominants more than leaving them natural. Here was my take on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adCan8RzzpaunI0.html I should mention that in minor ii-V-i's the ninth is almost always lowered.

Very useful Jeremy . The idea of the two halves of the bar should free the player up and ideally create more interest ; and this also implies the anticipation of the first chord over the barline .
@JeremySiskind Жыл бұрын
Yes, absolutely, you have to be thinking of the next chord and targeting a note. Thanks for the good comment, Andrew!

Thanks for this, and your other videos Jeremy. You have some really good, clear instruction on jazz piano. Something I have always struggled with is playing convincing swing 8th note lines above 180bpm or so. I find it really hard to make them sound secure and "in the pocket", rhythmically speaking.. Do you have any advice and have you any videos that touch on this?

Coffee-I liked the way you explained this. It seems simpler, clearer than the belabored explanations that are around. I’d enjoy maybe a brief (!) Charlie Parker transcription playback example just to deeply connect a theory exercise to the masters. For me a PayPal or ApplePay ability would assure a coffee purchase v entering my credit card number again somewhere on the internet. But so glad you decided to have tip jar capability! You deserve it. 🎉🎉🎉

This and many of your other videos are among the best I’ve seen explaining these concepts. Thanks a lot for making these available. Which of your books do you think would help most hone in on these concepts for bebop improv? I’m a sax player and want to get better at constructing bebop lines.

I don't know that I have anything *exactly* for you. I get into some of these issues in Jazz Piano Fundamentals, Book 2. I bet you'd enjoy the improvisation exercises in there, but it's not a straight improvisation book, so there things wouldn't apply to you.

Great lesson Jeremy, many thanks! When improvising, do you advise attempt to connect the chordal phrase on the first half of the bar with the approach on the second half, or treat them as two different things? Coffee!

I’d say one generally wants to connect them as smoothly as possible.
