The giant suger plum

Ballerina AND jazz pianist here. WHAT.

This is beautiful

Great to see you back!!

The rare HEAT

Giant plums

I’d love to hear an analysis of white Christmas!

It's a nichijou background song now

Brilliant analysis and thanks for mentioning the original "muddle" lyric

Bro it took me a Giant Steps trance to understand the sheer geniosity of this.

this is great - I would love to watch you break down more songs from the Great American Songbook like this!

giant steps of the sugar plum fairy

This is still absolute gold lmao

This audiovisual content requires greater perception

Genuinely brilliant!

Ahaha, it's genius. Even Jalen didn't knew that he was such complicated and genius singer and composer of improvised vocal piece of music. I'm laughing so hard.

i keep coming back to this a few times a year

i love this i’ve come back a few times it’s really delightful

I'm listening to this in loop. I absolutely love it.

This is a dreamy miracle - Thank you for sharing - Merry Christmas - John

I would pay good money for a transcription of this. I would love to learn it with my wife.

Unbelievable ❤️❤️❤️

I need this to be done in the studio

This one was bonkers

Wonderful video rewatched today. Very little has been discussed about the inventiveness of Frank Loesser. Most Happy Fella & Guys & Dolls in particular-could you analyze & comment on his techniques and ingenuity. Thank you-

oh waiohpe - out of all the covers, this one still keeps the main conteur of the melody in tack. so groovy . a rl head banger too

love how the intro is normal so its like an epic chord change type beat switch

Wonderful !

Woah, that was so gooood

that was odd

You have cast your shadow on the sea….

This is the legacy of Coltrane

Why does literally every Giant Steps meme sound like Wii music?!?

What can I do but upvote.

Rodgers had the rare gift of melody , but a certain style to be sure. A master of understanding the dynamics of love. Rodgers used the dynamic of “the other” in the Victory at Sea piece The Pacific Boils Over to express the Japanese impact on events at Pearl Harbor. Digresses on the Bali Hai and descendent music.,

If only we had a RR today. Why don’t we? Is the modern RR writing rap? 😖 I like the chordal analysis. My main instrument was guitar, which I played by chords usually. I do love piano but it proved difficult.

I’ve always loved Rodgers since I heard his song in the 1950s as a child. I hope you will say something about Victory at Sea. I did take musical theory so I enjoy this discussion.

Hahahahaha

Rick Beato: why this is an amazing version of giant steps

This is amazing. The best one!

Hi! i love this version of this piece, would it be ok i i used it in a video of mine? i would put your name and the link to this video in the description.

May I ask why did you choose to do an analysis specifically on Richard rodgers? And have you done on other film or musical composers? Thanks

tendency tone? i think you mean leading and leaning notes

rodgers could do more with one note than mere mortals can with 12 the hart period has the greater songs, just look at babes in arms

the sugar plum fairy had a concussion mid-dance

one of the few "but it's giant steps" that actually sound good and aren't just unfunny memes. good on you guys!

Great video, lovely analysis

Thank you!

It reminds me of the Willingham's player piano next door that I loved in my childhood. The rolls were often torn and they slid around on the track, providing many interesting unexpected modulations into non-related keys!
