It's incredibly rare to see a channel with high production levels, fantastic and humble players, new learning opportunities every video, and just an overall feeling of class and respect for the music. This channel and the Open Studio program in total is pure art. Thank you to Peter and Adam

That's crazy that when I entered a jazz program like 8/10 of these tunes became my favorite to play over the super standards. I simply love the sounds and techniques used in these tunes, they have more color to them. I didn't think of them for impact or education purposes. They actually seem more quirky and distinctive

Waltz for debbie (among other Bill evans tunes) should be played more, i wonder why? would it be too unfamiliar for horn players to blow over perhaps? I love tunes like Jade Visions, Peace Piece

I'll never forget playing with Roy at Wally's in Boston before he became a jazz star. The gig was on Wednesdays. He would take the train to New York Friday afternoon, play a gig Friday night, sleep on the floor of the club in the back room, play a gig at a different club Saturday night, then catch the train back to Boston Sunday to go to school. We smoked a bunch of pot back then.

Love these "new" standards - Lush Life is one of the most beautiful compositions, but also Infant Eyes. Coltrane played the first with Johnny Hartman (McCoy, Elvin & Garrison) - Stan Getz played them both on the album Live at Montmartre (1977) - a concert I attended.

May I add the enigmatic "The Peacocks" and the monumental "Prism" and another one that is a hymn to the joy "To Wisdom The Prize", the very emotional " Every Time We say Goodbye" and absolutely agreed on the" best of the best" composers Billy Strayhorn, Duke, Wayne Shorter...

This was a sublime list. Lush Life a real treat at the end. Others I've adopted as party pieces are Black Nile (Wayne Shorter), Field of Gold (Morricone - basically "that" music from The Good The Bad The Ugly) and Lullaby of Birdland (George Shearing, in memory of a friend who always played it as his last piece in gigs). The song I have by far the most fun with is Tea for Two (Youmans, with more than an echo of Shostakovich and Tatum). There's something in its catchy, simple tune that can make it pivot from petite to frenzied on a dime.

Anyway you guys inspire me so much I just had to leave a comment. In the last 6 months i bought a piano and working through all twelve keys at the moment(b and a are my favs so far) thank you for doing what you do. You’ve changed the way I look at and understand music and reawakened a deep passion for playing. Thanks again. Keep it up.

A recent favorite of mine that would fit well with the theme here is Bill Evan's rendition of "You and the Night and the Music"" from the interplay sessions. It's actually a theme from a 1930's musical

@high-defRJ 2 ай бұрын

I must agree on Spain, Ruby My Dear and also Au Privave. But with my love for karaoke, composing, and also having performance history with pop singers, I immersed myself in playing 40-50 standards in all 12 keys almost 15+ years ago, when I was still fresh out of college and trying to find a job, music or just a regular day job. While I can't play them all the standards in all keys, I'd think it's a great exercise for the ears, and particularly myself playing piano, understand the chord progression by just numbers, not the letters itself.

@willg-r3269 2 ай бұрын

Two important notes re: the excellent song Lush Life: 1) The noun "lush" seems to have fallen far enough out of common usage that younger people encountering the song don't always grasp the meaning -- it's not mainly referring to a life that's "lush," as in decadent, opulent, lavish, etc, but the life of a "lush," as in a heavy drinker, a drunkard, an alcoholic. 2) The lyrics framing the singer's alcoholism and depression as a product of unrequited love ("Then you came along / With your siren's song / To tempt me to madness / I thought for a while / That your poignant smile / Was tinged with the sadness / Of a great love for me / I guess I was wrong / Again, I was wrong") have a very specific layer of meaning for the composer Billy Strayhorn, who was semi-openly gay and wrote the song as a teenager.

Thoughts on the video as I watch: Ruby My Dear W ballad Strasbourg St. Denis is such a great tune, I heard it so much at sessions in college that it kind of got played out and no one plays it, but they should. Au Privave is definitely an underplayed blues. Wayne ❤️ Lush Life is so beautiful. Billy Strayhorn wrote so many incredible compositions, Chelsea Bridge, Take The A Train, UMMG, so many more. Seriously awesome tunes on this list. Love that you threw in some newer tunes that resonate with the new generation of musicians, that’s how we move the music forward!
