    Beautiful arrangement! I've never thought this was such a pretty song until now.
    You've given me a great advise on playing a music in general. Thank you, this is the best channel ever!!
    By the way, will I meet boys, if I play the piano well???

      +jazzutako Thanks. I didn't mean to make it all about male pianists... I was just relating it to Duke's quote. I'm sure you will meet lots of boys! I'm proud of this arrangement, so many thanks for the comment.

    Can't begin to express the joy this brings. Got sick with Covid this fall, went to the hospital. Scared the life out of me, but I made it. Resolved myself to restart piano lessons that I gave up on just over 50 years ago. So, this lesson is still well beyond my ability, but I'll get there. The way you play, the way you bring out the infinite in these voicings, calling to mind Nat King Cole, Bill Evans and too many other giants to mention...well, we are blessed to be alive, and music like this is right there at the top of the list of reasons why. Subscribed. Thanks. Be well. Peace from Kyiv.

      I agree, humbly, that's one of my best arrangements. ...but I spent a lot of time working on it...you see...how that works?!

    • @ggockma20
      @ggockma20 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Although I recently turned 26 as I play through your music i feel as if I have lived, loved, and cried for many more years. Thanks for adding so much depth to this piece!

    @paulmidi9207 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do all drop 2 voicings beging with 4 notes? i love the way they sound but they don't come naturally for me!
    Thanks for all you do Kent!

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Paul MIDI No, you can have 3 notes or 5 notes. You have to play and practice them enough so that you have them in your ears, your fingers, and intellect. They still don't come natural to me off the cuff but they are starting to. I have to work these arrangements out slowly and carefully. I can play this song off the cuff but it won't be as complex as what I can write out slowly.

    Kent i seem to remember a tune called Bewitched is it a different song than this one or the same song.

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Paul Allen This is the only song that I know of that has that word in the title.

    • @paulallenMacca
      @paulallenMacca 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kent it must be the same song i once had it in a book.

  • @jasneskis
    @jasneskis 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've watched your videos. I know you are dropping 2. I have no idea what you are doing. I am new. I have watched previous videos. Still don't understand. Maybe I never found the very basic. Could you make a playlist of your videos in order. You have 100 + videos. I am starting. Order of videos would be helpful. Thank you.

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have 250 videos. Go tp my Playlists, everyone on TH-cam has that as a category, if you go to their channel page by clicking on their name below the videos. There you will see my videos in all categories. Click on the category below the video and you'll see all the videos in that category. Start with Beginner Series and then Easy Jazz Lessons, then start with any category and pick the easy lessons first. That should help you....let me know!

    Nice one Kent if I'm not mistaken i heard this song in the Film The Man In The Santa Clause Suit.

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Paul Allen I haven't seen that movie but I'm sure a popular classic like this is in a number of films. Thanks!

    • @paulallenMacca
      @paulallenMacca 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I'm nearly 100% sure on this one, Fred Astaire was in it,its a Film that hasn't been on much here in the UK.

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Paul Allen I'd like to find out the name of the film. I've seen some of his films when he sings popular songs that were introduced in his film.

  • @EspaTuLaFielD
    @EspaTuLaFielD 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    you have quite a lot of vídeos now. it would be nice to have playlists to find things easier

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +EspaTuLaFielD That's an interesting suggestion. How would you categorize them? How many in a playlist? Since I've haven't done this before, I'd have to figure it out. Thanks!

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +EspaTuLaFielD I just made a start to try it. If you go to my channel page and click on Playlists you'll see one I just created for my 4 Bill Evans tutorials in the order of dated created. Any suggestion for categories?

    • @EspaTuLaFielD
      @EspaTuLaFielD 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      maybe a "fundamentals" playlist where you point people to the videos you talk more specifically about stuff like drop-2; locked hands; arpeggios; etc

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +EspaTuLaFielD I appreciate you suggestion. I would like to simplify however, maybe just all drop 2 videos in one playlist and all locked hands in separate playlist. That way various techniques can be seen in depth from a number of vids. What do you think?

    • @EspaTuLaFielD
      @EspaTuLaFielD 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      that would work I suppose. the main thing is being in chronological order

    Harmonic complements of melody. Makes no since to me. Can you explain.

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are watching an advanced lesson. Unless you are an advanced student you won't understand this. Please go to my channel page and click on Playlists and start with Beginner Jazz series and Easy Jazz lessons. then go to your personal interests and start with easy lessons.

    and so do gals find boys crowding around them easily when they play the piano and sing. I love this song Kent and used to do it often in restaurants when gigging. I could never play it as well as you do on the piano though but I can assure you I can sing it way better than you if you tried to sing it.....

    • @KentHewittpiano88
      @KentHewittpiano88  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Angeli Alvares I'll bet you can (good singing is a gift). Yes, in my remarks I was referring to Duke's quote. But as I told a female subscriber, as a good piano player she will meet a lot of boys. Thanks!
