Might be a regional thing, but I feel like "There Will Never Be Another You" is called nonstop
@Cairo Brentley there will never be another you..... ok let’s hack your Instagram 😂😂
no that’s accurate. always called over here
In London it's always Stella, Green Dolphin and There Will Never be Another you only speaking about South London I have never played up north.
Yes, it’s a popular jam piece as well. Guys call it all the time !
@@benhancock6253 Sounds like you need to get out more and start expanding that strictly South London repertoire...
When Peter is asking you how many tunes you know... that alone is intimidating beyond belief.
I'm actually very surprised that "Misty" didn't make this list. That's one EVERY jazz player should know... without a doubt.
Absolutely yes !!
Yeah, yes yes yes Summertime. This song enables great highs and lows in a soprano's register. Yeah!!!!
Fantastic! I’ve got 3-4 tunes I need to brush up on. Thanks guys.
When I started out everyone called Black Orpheus, Groovin’ High, and Beautiful Love. I wish the latter was called more, it’s such a great tattoo.
thanks for sharing knowledge
I love Night in Tunisia it's got it's own thing going on.
For sure. Mastering that strange vibe is not an easy task!
Thanx,Gents.
Another great video! Honestly I have avoided Giant Steps but I will be proactive on it now starting today! What about Invitation it's a masterpiece using all notes of the scale as a root note! Also my favorite Monk's We'll You Need,nt Miles version! Peter loved your Live version of In a Mellow Tone! Adam presently working on your video 5 levels of Pentatonics its so helpful!
+Lady Bird and footprints and this list is perfect to me 😉
I would love a discussion from pete and adam on jam sessions, what to do, what not to do. Who calls the shots? And, from an ear player perspective only, do you call the key, the progression, or just the starting note? Thank you for the music 🎵
What's to figure - it's a jam, anyone can make a tune suggestion. Then determine the key. You may discuss soloist order, but mainly just look for and give cues, and LISTEN! Play to the group consciousness and you'll do great.
I think part of the fun of jams is figuring it out on your own 😅 the mistakes and embarrassment and awkwardness is part of the process
Good point on the popularity of tunes by region. Let's start a thread: where are you from? What's popular in your city?
Something I'm seeing missing here: different blues heads (both major and minor). Here's some common ones I've heard called:
Now's the Time
Straight, No Chaser
Au Privave
Billie's Bounce
Sonnymoon for Two
Tenor Madness
Blue Monk
Blue Train
Mr. P.C.
Some less common ones I like to play:
Sandu (Clifford Brown)
The Blues Walk
Watergate Blues (Percy Heath)
Turnaround (Ornette Coleman)
Five Spot After Dark (Curtis Fuller)
Equinox (John Coltrane)
Also, it's not a 4/4 I-IV-V blues like the songs above, but "All Blues" gets called all the time.
As someone commented, Solar was written by Chuck Wayne but attributed to Miles Davis. It's also loosely based on How High The Moon ("lunar"), so there's no reason to believe that it should have that weird pronunciation that so many have used (myself included).
My new fave casters...
Misty
Well You Needn't (clarify first chord of bridge before starting)
A Train (including short intro and riff for drum solo)
All right only seventeen to go!
got vibed for bot knowing what is this thing called love
In Central Florida we always call (in addition to the list from this video) on ANY jazz gigs/ jam sessions:
- Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
- Feel Like Making Love
- This Masquerade
- Misty
- Girl From Ipanema
- Wave
- Blue Bossa
- Almost Like Being In Love
Plus buch of Sinatra stuff.
Plus bunch of Natalie Cole stuff (entire Unforgettable album).
I guess it’s “regional”, sometimes specific to the certain city you live in…
Here latin and Brazilian rhythms are very popular in addition to traditional swing oriented grooves…
Stra8 out of 1978...
Thanks for the info. Suggestions for the video .... Cut the intro in about half and get to the list. (When it's a list kind of thing). Also with lists post production graphics are nice and not very difficult. Thanks again.
Do you have videos on Open Studio that deal with comping over these tunes rather than solo piano arrangements?
I can find lessons teaching solo arrangements but can't find any videos on the site teaching comping or accompaniment methods for these tunes specifically. Am I missing something?
I'm no jazzer but I enjoy your show. What about Satin Doll, Misty, Dont Get Around Much Anymore, Girl From Ipanema? Too common?
No. These all are greatly popular tunes as well.
There are indeed hundreds of all shapes, sizes and colors…
Agree there should be at least one Rhythm changes tune on the core list (Oleo, Rhythm-a-ning, Moose the Mooch, etc.). My bonus tune be something like Moanin' or Work Song.
Definitely Oleo ! Or any other “rhythm changes” piece…
Blue bossa?
Bemsha Swing and Firm Roots are big in NY rn
One major thing I noticed about the list was it was missing a tune with rhythm changes. It’s just my opinion but there are basic forms every jazz musician should know to start with. Blues, minor blues, rhythm changes, modal tunes, tunes with 2 5 1’s, tunes running through the cycle of fourths and Coltrane changes, played in different keys and tempos. A good thing to do is to go to a jam session and scope out what everyone is playing.
The bonus tune is I got rhythm
Someday My Prince and Oleo (rhythm changes)
Can you make a list of great jazz piano players of the 2000's
Oh yeeeah that's a great shout
Folks be ready to steal something from somebody
Seventeen is a prime number
And this is a PRIME podcast !
Where do you guys go for jam sessions? (I am in the St. Louis area also.)
I'LL REMEMBER APRIL, MISTY, FOUR, HOW HIGH THE MOON, GIANT STEPS, ETC.
We asked Willie Akins how many tunes he knows. He replied with a very gruff "All of them!"
Today I learned that Peter played with Wynton Marsalis at age 15 and now I feel inadequate
Why no samples of ea song?? I love CLASSIC jazz but only know a few of these songs.
I wanna be a premium member, but I couldn't find anything on open studio or the podcast website. By the way, that Bebop Pack... Holey Guacamole! I got it, and it's the best online course I've seen in a WHILE! Mr. Spaceman approves!
Howdy! We're glad you like the Bebop Pack! Sorry, we had some trouble getting the link up yesterday. Here's the link for the discount (we just added it to the description, too): youllhearit.com/podcast/
Might be good to have some rhythm changes tunes.
Which would you say is the most referenced version of "Stella?" There are a lot of drastically different version of that tune.
1959 miles davis quintet (same lineup as KoB) is probably the version of record, but you're correct that part of the reason this standard is as legendary as it is is that one can play it in wildly different ways
There has never been a jam session in the history of jazz where the correct opening chord to Stella has been played by everyone in the band because they all knew it....lololol!!!!
What is the correct opening chord?
@@giorgiorossi8644 Bbdim maj7
@@GnikAtaidnus yes
Do an episode on jam session regionality! That's a good idea right?
What's the link to the Charter Member discounted rate you mentioned above? Do I need to enter a code or something? Would love to support YHI with premium. LMK & Keep killin' it out at Open Studio. 7 Stars
Hey, John. Sorry, we had some trouble getting the link up yesterday. Here's the link for the discount (we just added it to the description, too): youllhearit.com/podcast/
Toots Thielmans with Fred Hersch On Green Dolphin Street is in C. Can’t remember the album. Great solo by Hersch on that tune, though.
Who´s gonna make a nice Spotify playlist with nice versiones?! THAT would be useful for many folks!
Check out the glossary of Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" and the suggested recordings in many of the Jamey Aebersold books.
Adam, all the blues of T Monk are in the key of B flat.
Straight no chaser? Ok, I don‘t know the context because I didn‘t watch the video yet!
I was watching an Oscar Peterson tv special and all the songs were in Bb.
@@tonyperiphoto I always knew that Oscar was a flea bat…
I’m in Seattle, and I’ve never heard body and soul be called out on a jam session. I’m a singer/pianist so I usually call it out to sing it, but I’ve never heard anybody jam on the tune. It’s kind of weird, maybe it’s just a Seattle thing
Hey man, I'm in Seattle too. I'm more a songwriter and sound engineer, but if you're ever going out to a jam you should let me know so I can meet you.
beautiful love, there will never be another you, satin doll, wave, alone together, georgia on my mind, blue bossa, misty, in a sentimental mood, it could happen to you, the shadow of your smile, and a few more that i hear more at jam sessions
How you both not like All of Me. It could in a fast swing and slow it down...etc. I sing that along with Me Myself and I
nope
premiummmm yeahhhh
Take my money
Take my life
Gotta be honest I'm a little bit surprised that you didn't include Misty
SAME
Is this list the same for horn players?
And banjo players!
Solar: composed by Chuck Wayne, attributed to Miles
I Got Rhythm is important to know but I would say “Oleo” is much more popular rhythm changes tune in Jam session.
You totally missed the point… > learning "I Got Rhythm" IS the foundation of learning Oleo (and any other tune based on that structure…) and it's a "bonus' tune because learning it leads to learning so many other tunes.
@@Erschophone I totally agree.I was taught “I got rhythm “ first so I know it’s the origin of all these tunes- that’s why they’re called Rhythm Changes.Its always good to know as many tunes anyway.
James William's said Tommy Flanagan knew eight thousand tunes.
Girl from ipanema?
No Misty?
That is a good one.
am i the only one that finds this tune extremely boring?
@@GrumpyStormtrooper probably
@@GrumpyStormtrooper It sounds great at a faster tempo. th-cam.com/video/p9AkXZ0qvII/w-d-xo.html
@@GrumpyStormtrooper It all depends upon your imagination and creativity. You could say the same thing about Autumn Leaves - yet Miles& Herbie could take it to the stratospheres. I've heard some lame-ass versions of "Misty" but then there's Arthur Blythe's version or Etta James (yes, that Etta James) with Eddie Cleanhead Vinson. A lot of possibilities for opening up the tune and reharmonisation.
How come "I've Got Rhytnm" is not in the list ?
It was the bonus
I don't understand why people get all bent outta shape for Giant Steps, it's not that hard of a tune. Actually know it better than a couple of the other ones you mentioned....albeit just in original key...although I could probably transpose it.
At 240 Bpm?
I can't believe this list doesn't include Thomas the Tank Engine.
All of Me: put it up in Ab...now we're talking! (Lennie...)
Donna Lee?
and don't you forget it !
No rhythm changes?
Did y'all listen to the podcast ?¿?¿?¿?
Body and Soul makes a nice samba. I play Softly as a Trane quartal. (BTW, those were _accordions,_ not trombones.) And Giant Steps is just a bunch of 2m-5's, star slow and it's easy
Now: _I Got Rhythm_ does NOT use "Rhythm changes." I got caught the very first time i ever played it - because I PLAYED THE TAG. So EVERY time around I was two bars later, and the band was giving me major stinkeye...🙄
What???
No Satin Doll, How High the Moon, Star Eyes, Have You Met Miss Jones, Woody’N You, Nica’s Dream? Plus at least “17” more Horace Silver tunes
Route 66?
Sounds you been getting your kicks… This isn't the list for making through a wedding gig ! If it was, R 66 would be there!
Adam knows 16 tunes? More likely 1600....
OK, since you added "All of Me" to the list, here's my spoof lyric to it: "Allergies"
Right now, I'm going to try to sing this song. Don't know if I can because I've got...
--------------
Allergies, can't take these allergies,
I can't see, my eyes are all swo-o-o-len]
Take my nose, I cant' stop sneezing
First I'm hot, and next I'm free -zing
Your bouquet, left me with eyes that say,
Take it away, my breath's being sto-o-o-len
Pollen took the part, from my eyes to my heart OR
Pollen did its part, I'l sneeze then I'll fart,
So please take these allergies [optional solos, repeat to tag]
before they kill me,
please take these al - - ler - - gies,,,

I've never been to a jazz jam session, but are people really that hard on others if they don't know certain tunes??? That doesn't sound like a very welcoming environment. I hope you guys were just exaggerating when you said that.
Nobody's gonna be hard on you if you just calmly step out of the bandstand when a tune you don't know gets called. Tunes are the foundation. No tunes, no jam session.
Just like everywhere else,the human race,mainly crap.
What? You didn't mention 'I Got Rhythm" or at least 'Rhythm Changes' ? ??????? You really can't stop at 17. I mean, 'the Shadow Of Your Smile? "There Will Never Be Another You? "Black Opheus (Manha De Carnival) " "The Girl From Ipanema".
Summertime is totally NOT a blues. Solar is more of a blues than Summertime
comedy hour
Solar is on Miles Davis' grave. For real
Nah man its most pianists fav tune.
@@itom1994 it was one of his favs too, the first two bars are literally etched on his grave!! pretty cool if you ask me
@@qpac2351 He didnt even write the tune hahah
Sweet Georgia Brown is soooo cheesy and old tho.
Haha...You must be cooler than Sonny and Warne!
Blah, blah, blah. 🤮
Sounds like a hit Michel Portal tune (especially accompanied by that emoji)
Frankfurt, Germany (including what they listed) EVERYWHERE people call Parker's "Now's the Time"´ Can't believe they left that off. You must know the stops/breaks. Stablemates Nardis Recordame Speak no Evil Tune Up Alone Together. Someday my Prince Will Come Bluesette fo shofuckan sho, also: There will be another You & In Your Own Sweet Way The Bishop (great alto in San Francisco) ambushed me with Blue Bossa at 290 bpm. Be ready for that kind of tempo ambush. I wasn't ready.
