Lesson

Hello everyone!

I’m going to be posting two lessons a week for a little bit, so I hope you like piano-isms! This one’s actually a Part II to my original one on Oscar Peterson. It delves into a few more idiosyncrasies characteristic to his playing.

I mentioned a few recordings in this video, so I’ll link to youtube versions here:

Hello everyone,

This is my fourth "How to Play Vibes Like" lesson. And I should be doing 8 more this coming month, so if anyone has any suggested pianists to cover, let me know. So far, I plan on having George Shearing, Benny Green, Count Basie, Monk, and a second part to my Oscar Peterson lesson.

I'm hoping everything I talked about in this lesson made sense. It can be tricky stuff, so please ask questions if you don't understand something. And listen to his music, specifically "Passion Dance" and "Blues on the Corner" to hear these concepts in action.

Thanks!

Arrangement from Gary Burton of Michel Legrand's "The Summer Knows". Dug this up from the files and got this way back from Gary during lessons in the 70's. Some really nice things in here in terms of the harmony, techniques and voicings.
