The Outside of a Woman
My wife gave birth to our daughter a few weeks ago. It made me think about all of the changes that happened to her body. Often, I heard people say that the “inside” matters more than the “outside.” But, I’ve always doubted the primacy of the inside. I don’t think it makes sense to separate the inside from the outside; that it is more essential than the outside. Sometimes, I think the outside says more about you than the inside.

The Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea is one of the few places where polar opposites co-exist. I try to mirror that here by using chords that are contrary and opposite. Voice: Sara Zhu Piano: Alfred Yun Bass: Steve Arnold Recorded by: @emersonavenuesalonline7910

Antinome by Alfred Yun Sara Zhu Voice Alfred Yun Piano Steve Arnold Bass Performed and Recorded @emersonavenuesalonline7910 Antinome describes the logical impasse of the self. That I am me, and I am separate from you. Yet, I cannot be me without you, and everything - words, concepts, taste, etc. - that I use to constitute myself comes from the outside.

Alfred Yun Trio - “Armando's Rhumba” (Corea)
Very interesting but please don't call them songs - songs have words and Monks own compositions don't!
I listen to it early in the morning with my coffee. It's good.
Congratulations on the new baby!
Nailed it.
It's music that has a good meaning and a beautiful melody.
Wow, 11/8. Nice meter. Keeps ya counting!
Another thing is in bar 4 of the tune the way that monk played it was F7 Bb7sus Bb-7 A7 instead of what the real book writes
Fabulous !
Very insightful. I'm playing this song for my recital
Tasty!
lovely!
한국적인 선율과 분위기가 느껴지네요, 오늘같은 따스한 봄날에 대청마루에 걸터 앉아 들으면 더 좋을 것 같아요!!! 멋집니다~
Nice playing bro, how did you make the video look like that ? That's cool

Muito bom. Obrigado.
My hands are small and I cant play those open 9th chords, why should I do?
Whose version starts at 3:14?
Well you needn't play the 7ths.
I like both versions but I see the point
Thats a very goo video!
Yes! and that second lead sheet posted near the end seems to be Miles' wrong changes and wrong melody. And because the first (illegal) real book printed it that way, generations of young players have played it wrong with their eyes instead of right with their ears. Thanks!
I haven't read all the comments, but why not call it a sus2 chord open voicing?
I am a professional jazz pianist and if I saw sus2 open voicing on a chart I would need to ask the band leader for clarification. It is pretty rare that we are asked to just play two notes a major 9th apart. Chord symbols and names are usually for voicings that are at least three notes. Anything that deviates from that, regardless of whether or not the name is technically correct, would bring more confusion than clarity. Probably better to just write it out on the staff.
"Sus', of course, refers to sus4, but sus2, although less common should be clear enough. I use sus2maj7 a lot, which, for example, would be a G triad with a C bass. (Slash chords are for guitar players . . . seriously.)@@alfredleeyun
I'm assuming you're asked to play from lead sheets, rather than charts, from time to time.@@alfredleeyun
I know what a sus chord is. The sus part is obviously not the problem. A sus chord typically is a triad in which the 2nd or 4th replaces the 3rd. The problem is expecting a musician to just know that Sus2 open voicing means play two notes that are a major 9th apart. If I saw someone write sus2maj7 on a chart, I would probably kill them. Just write G/C or write the notes out at that point. Music notation, whether on a staff or a lead sheet, should prioritize clarity and ease of use - rather than figuring out bizarre, technically correct names. @@carldroot
I agree that the "open voicing" isn't clear and I use that just to jar my memory. You probably hate C9sus and would prefer Bb/C. I know a lot of fellow piano players who hate slash chords. To each his own.@@alfredleeyun
I enjoy Thelonious Monk, composition: Evidence, somehow minimalist yet much more. Peace to all.
Real good work. However your use of "Ambient Music" in the middle of the video is not necessary. My two-cents.
Thanks for an interesting video. Really like these 'what the real book doesn't tell you' videos.
Screw the intro. Riyoko Takagi doesn't play it.
The Real Book also leaves out verses.
love this
Stop bullshitting. There are tons of songs taken from hundreds of musicals that do not have the start of the song in the books because they are not the focus of the tune and waste time and paper. The most famous version has an intro. But it's not what's documented for sale as sheet music. So it's no more at fault than hundreds of thousandds of pubhlished works.
Haha I thought there will be also words about the great bossa-nova OUTRO)))
lol
💯 value for time. I feel tonloads smarter already. Thank you for educating me. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
So different from Bill Evans. Love them both.
Try playing that as stacked 4ths ala 9 5 1?
Just found your channel. Learning piano with ambitions to eventually play jazz. Keep it up!
To me intros are very important and over-looked by so many players...even good players. The idea of setting up a tune with a 4 or 8 bar intro vamp is really sad. The outro thing is also important. Man listening to Keith Jarrett taught me this!! If you take the intros and ride-outs seriously, they will be just as important as the tune itself.
One of the best videos on TH-cam featuring some of my heroes in jazz.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Rolland Hannah does a great Round Midnight. I'm pretty sure it uses Dizzy's into. Check it out, it's great!
barry harris talks abt this he calls it 6th diminished scale
Hi, I have been playing piano for about 3-4 years, but I feel like my technique and my rhythm have not improved. Could you please give me tips on how I could improve on them and also time measures? And im also unterested in jazz, so what could i do to start with jazz piano? Thank you
I give 40 min zoom lessons if you'd be interested in that! My email is music@alfredyun.com
Barry Harris adds his own intro before that one and it’s killing
I just noticed a really nice touch to this video, which is that the lofi background music is playing the interval he is talking about on the pad
Monk's secret is not a technical one. There is nothing in any Monk tune that you cannot study and work/practice on from a technical level. And you do need to put all the work in and his use of odd measured arrangements is one of the topics one needs to learn to deal with as it is quiet typical for him. But the real secret to a Monk tune is Monk. His attitude and personality shine through his compositions and playing. He has a child-like wanderlust and drive for exploration which is kind of unique to him. Many people reduce it to what they call "monkisms" but my problem with that is that it gets reduced to certain licks or things you do. While that is correct in a sense, you cannot see those things separate from the man and his personality himself. The only guy I know who can really convincingly pull off Monk tunes by embodying that whole spirit of Monk and thus playing it on Monk's terms is Chick Corea.
this is profound . thank you.
The Real Book does not tell you too many other things about this music. I've always referred to the Real Book as "the biggest misprint in sheet music." The Real Book is the pied piper of modern music.
nothing real about that book...lol
