Both of my grandfathers died before I was born. You, Kent, give me a feeling of what it's like to have a grandfather... although we are just strangers connected through ones and zeros. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and everyone reading this :)
Dear Nils, Can't tell you how much I apprecaite your note ...my grandparents died when I was a kid, and I didn't have kids or grandkids...so I'm glad to have you for one of them now.
Enjoy your videos.Played piano for 65 years and learn something new everyday. Wish we could of had the internet back in my younger days.Merry Christmas to you and your family . Lance.
hAPPY hOLIDAYS for you Maestro, Thanks All-Mighty Lord that we still here in this Virtual world so we can enjoy watching and listen and learning from you, God Bless you MAESTRO !!!!!!!
You're a gem grandpa Kent (I'm not much younger :) Keep being your beautiful quirky self. It's genius. A blessed Christmas and happy muso musing, with joy remembering: Of the making of music there will be no end.
Great video! I am an "advanced beginner" to intermediate level pianist. What makes you such a good teacher is that you show individuals like myself, first how a pro views and piece and how they go about making it sound professional. And even if someone like myself can't play everything that you show, we learn what it is we need to learn to sound professional. I took lessons even from a pro jazz pianist at one point and still never learned that. We did rote lessons on modes and such which I never understood. And I've met other pros who wouldn't tell me anything about how they played or how I could increase my level of playing. But sitting at home watching your videos, I've learned so much about jazz and how to increase my skill level. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Thanks so much for telling me. That's why I'm doing this...and it's meaningless unless I hear from people like you who tell me that what I'm doing is beneficial and helping them to understand and improve in a deeper way. So please write to my email, so we can communicate...we can have a phone conversation. I offer that to people , and want to help as much as possible...if I can. So ...cheers!, brother...and swing loose! kenthewitt@hotmail.com KH
You're light years ahead of the game Kent!! Great analysis in every video you create. So many tricks to learn and incorporate into my compositions.. I'll send you a link when I release my records. For now I'm just polishing my skills for one more year and then I'll produce my music. I "Kent" wait for that moment to come :) - just a little word game there for the fun of it. Swing loose piano man and take care.
The earliest I was ever aware of the Barry Harris b6 harmony was even before I ever heard of Harris. I was attracted to the sound when reharmonizing the first few notes in Patti Page's Old Cape Cod. It is a great sound. Thank you for your generous gift of time and knowledge, Kent. Merry Christmas.
KENT!! I asked Santa to bring you a Steinway but he gave some tired excuse about the reindeer’s union. SWING LOOSE my brotha! Merry Christmas and many happy “returns”! 🇨🇦
Merry Christmas to ya Kent! I didn’t know the AEM spoke to Jason Marley! Thank you for playing Santa’s coming to town! I love the dropped 2 voicings you are doing! I never understood the dropped 2’s until I saw your show and you explained them to me! Anyway Merry Christmas- Happy NewYear to ya- and here’s wishing you an awesome 2022WilllF.L!
great workup, lots of interesting concepts at work here, well worth another watch or two. I love the fingertip effect above the black keys...! B-). Happy Holidays and Thank You.
Kent Hewitt *IS* Santa Claus! And he gives continuously throughout the year!!
ADEM and Santa are both ghosts...they definitely need to "hang out".

Aww! Man he’s totally our jazz grandpa!

I get it, Lance. I wish the same...but then I liked the struggle one takes to learn.

Hello Kent!!! It's been a while! You didn't post anything !!!
Merry Christmas!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
KH posted 6 video’s in past month!…that’s pretty impressive productive!!!👏👏🏅
You mentioned that stride is intermediate. I feel as though it is an advanced technique. What steps does one take to become better in the technique?
