That's really cool. Charlie was the absolute greatest person and musician I ever knew) We had a golden opportunity to get with him for years and he gave it everything he had. What great memories!
Excellent lessons and material! You got that jazz sound down to a complete art form embellished. Really appreciate the material it makes a HUGE difference in my playing!
man i love your videos and you also play great! i had the oportunity to study with Charles Banacos ! It seems that seeing your videos i am getting close to him again! thaks so much.
Have only been playing jazz about a year and a half, but holy moly, I have learned YEARS worth of material from these classes. Hope our paths can cross sometime.
Great, please enjoy a visit to the master class archive at www.davefrankjazz.com, there are currently 34 in-depth classes, all free for you) Blessings from NYC!
Hi Dave can u make a sight reading lesson that will help beginner level musician to be advanced if he/she practice everyday. One of my weakness is I can read slowly but not fast like other musician do. Thank you
wow combining the elements @ the end sound so awesome...!!! As a beginner, I do ask myself though if for example "comping in the crax" is rootless or with root. Also for al the "chord" elements.. are there certain inversion used to stay in certain register or just random?
As a cowboy out here in the wild west frontier, I dig the Rodeo improv technique the best. Were you filming this in Lynchburg, TN, home of the Jack Daniels distillery?
MAX GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU!! How's it going? Your brother has been making funny phony phone calls haha! Tell me wbhat you are doing, there are 22 of the videos on YT and Ustream) Uncle Dave in NYC
Hi there Dave, great vid. How come there aren't many "very very" well known jazz pianists (greats) playing walking bass solo piano? It seems all of the players can do it, but none of them really do use the style. I only see concert Lennie Tristano and Dave Mckenna (and you ofcourse :D ). I must admit I don't know that much about jazz piano players though. Maybe you know some more names from whom I can find the solo walking bass playing on youtube?
From personal experience I've learnt that it can annoy the civilian, general public. The grainy, clunky low tones of the left hand piano walking bass sound okay to pianists and jazzers and aficionados accustomed to that sound, but to substitute the relentless quarter tone pattern of piano walking left hand (hammers? steel strings?) for a real upright bass sound with its lovely soft gut string sound plucked by fleshy human fingers, and the perfect attack sustain and release, is to subject them to notey irritation. So cut time, stride, or the oompah or other chording styles, well demonstrated here, work better (for me, in a hotel bar anyway). I did a couple of vids using a walking line if you'd like to check them out. And I use the soft pedal throughout to soften the "clunk".
Love your videos, Dave. Saw the original 15 elements years ago, but just came upon this one. I like pedal points. But how do you pick the note to use for the pedal?
Usually the 5th of the chord, can be the root of the chord you're on or the root of the next one) Please enjoy any 57 master classes at davefrankjazz.com, all free)
Dave, is it necessary or advisable to use the root in the top note of the left hand for the "doorknob" or in the lowest note of the left hand for the "ompah"? Can you post your left hand voicings for ATTYA? You seem to use almost no lateral movement. Thanks, Jeff

I'm not a good enough player to use this stuff - but that doesn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks for your great efforts.

Absolutely SMASHING (pun intended)! Thanks Dave.

comping in crax can be rooted or rootless, doesn't matter..if the chord is too low, it will sound muddy, too high, too tinny..

I dig Dave
