Kent. You are becoming greater by the minute. I printed out the score from your website for Someday My Prince Will Come and I surprised myself by being able to follow your analysis note by note. Well almost. And I haven't dared to try it at the piano, yet. That will be a Herculean task for me, but I will try. I looked at the music before I heard your analysis and my first reaction was: what the Hell is Kent doing? Then moments later, I knew. I am not nearly as advanced as this but as an old English prof once told the class, your reach should exceed your grasp. God knows I am still reaching. I always look forward to your offerings on TH-cam, There's always something delicious there to tickle my musical pallet. Looking forward to your solo and the theory to go with it for this piece.
Great stuff Kent. More videos like this please! Analysis of your awesome take on standards. I'm trying to get to the level of solo jazz piano to play in hotels/lounges and this is very helpful. Can't wait for the solo
Thanks for a wonderful compliment, Maria. I believe a pianist's touch is very personal, and is a extent of their personality, practice, physical aspect, and outlook on life. Every person is different. My two favorite players for extraordinary touch are Bill Evans and Arthur Rubenstein.
True! I absolutely love Bill Evans, I love his touch, and all the great music he plays, he’s my favourite jazz pianist ever and I listen to his music everyday ‘cause it makes me feel amazing and in peace with myself...
Hi Kent. You have been incredibly productive with all these great 2018 videos. I came back to this one and working on it. Really great and helpful analysis. I’m making progress watching everything. Thanks again
Hi Kent, It’s probably been asked but did you make a Part 3? I can tell how much you personally love this song and your deep connection to Bill Evans, by the way you play it in these three videos of this song. Just as beautiful as he IMHO sir!
Thank you for the wonderful and knowledable tutorial!! Btw if You have the time could you please consider creating a tutorial for accompanying singers. I accompany people but I don't get the gist of sounding like the greats! Whenever I accompany it sounds monotone and rather mundane more than complimenting the singer Any tips or such to spice up singers and make it sound great? Maybe at the same time you could analyze Ella fitzgerald's "I've got a crush on you" early decca recording. This version is only piano and vocals. I really want to sound something like that! Thanks kent!
I ALWAYS get a lot from your videos, Kent, even though many, like this one, are above my level. I always find something I can apply to the songs I am learning. Thank you so much!
Maestro, I am terrible sorry for the miseries you are going through, the best I can send to you through the air is a sincere hug and a very macho kiss in your Pinky ! Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia.
Judy, all the scores that I have available are on my website under Free Music Downloads: storage.googleapis.com/wzukusers/user-26455100/documents/58e5cc9bc471bbQiYAeb/Someday%20My%20Prince%20Will%20Come3.pdf
Great lesson as always, Kent! Two takeaways: 1) I really liked the stacked diminished @ 11:30. 2) You reaffirmed many times in this lesson that it is indeed OK to omit the root voicing occasionally. (So--ADE man has gone to Newark to court ADE girl? I pray she's not one of the 'Housewives of New Jersey.')
Also i couldn't find part 3 (said Emoj) but is it possible to write out 10 chorusses from simple to complex, That would be so great a help because your level is that high that the things that for you are normal, aren't that easy at all and we all know how difficult 3/4 are, don't we, For shure without a band?
Hi Again Kent could you help me out? There is a man Ed Saindon, he plays(I wrote you this befor (message in a bottle-idea!LOL) On Green Dolphin Street with maj7 aug super imposed on any chord as study, maybe you could refine this a bit??also the pentatonics that goes with those chords or are hidden in between the arpeggio of maj7 #5 chords are not that clear sometimes, the most I have worked out but there are a few missing pieces now and than!
I'd have to watch this video again to figure out what you're asking. Right now I'm trying to catch up on scores of comments and emails. Write to my email address, if possible.
Jeffrey, yes, as in jazz ...go with the flow, find the natural rhythm of the horse, and feel that rhythm, and try to get in synch with the horse's beat (stride), match it, and compliment it.... as you would with a dancer. (what do I know?...I only rode a horse once)! Good luck!...I envy you; it's a great opportunity!
Kent, let's just hope it's a horse of a different color! It's owner is a clarinetist/saxophonist/bagpipist, so it probably has a Jazz gait, and not a Watergate!
Why do we cal sharp 9s what we do? Why aren't they considered b10s? Because as I understand it, a 10 is the major 3rd and octave displaced, right? So why isn't the F in a D minor chord considered a b10? Do we have three 9s? b, natural and sharp?
Kent, You are such an inspiration with your musical interpretation. It whimsically whisks us away to a haze of pleasure. Each note as you state leaves us longing. What will come next? I magically enjoy listening to all of your composure's with enlightenment. All the youth of the world should be compelled to enjoy your prose for the melodious. Keep them coming.
Beautiful, Kent.... I was was worried for a while not knowing you were on vacation. Thought you might be having trouble with Alt D E M. Even so, I enjoyed the break and tried to catch up. So much for that idea. =) Welcome back and thanks for this awesome lesson.
Your support and comment, and especially your encouragement are a blessing to me, Jackson. We head for the most eastern coastal point in the US tomorrow (Lubec, Maine) where I teach a 2 week jazz course for adults. Summer jazz....I love that concept. Thank you and keep swingin'!!
Kent your website has been greatly improved! I really like how things are arranged now, and it is much easier for me to download scores, thanks indeed for the uploads.
Thanks Lucas, I like the sound of it on piano in that key, plus it's a better range for piano starting on middle C. The composers wrote it in that key and the early fake books had it in F. The "Real" books changed the key maybe because it was better for Bb and Eb horns. Most horn players call it in Bb. Bb puts the high note 2 octaves above middle C, either that or you're starting on F below middle C, good for tenor sax I guess

Simply... beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!

John, thanks for the affirmation. Most of my videos are geared towards solo piano ...some are more for trio playing. Good luck with getting some gigs.
Your touch on the piano is just something amazing... thank you for all this great music! 😍🙏🏼

Thanks Dr. Michael. I always enjoy hearing from you and appreciate your comments and support!
Love it Kent, when you play it is real music, time and again. Watching your films always makes me wanne play myself. It is so inspiring man!!
Thanks, Frank, You are the best!!!
These are your most interesting video for me, where you take apart what you've played and how you think!
Thanks for the very thoughtful comment...keeps me going!
Could you make a tutorial of Thelonious Monk - Japanese Folk song please?
Keep up the good work!You are one of the best teachers i ever had!
Thanks for the compliment...I haven't heard that song ...I'll look it up. Thanks!

I'll have to check that out. I still want to do one with a vocalist...it would be more effective that way. Thanks!

I'm glad to hear that , Jim. Please check out my tips for using my channel : th-cam.com/video/Ad9jDd2Dwtc/w-d-xo.html
Could you make a tutorial of John Coltrane's version of 'My Favorite Things' please?
Dominic Platt yes
I'll put your request on the list, thanks!
Thanks!
The way you look tonight
I did that one.
welcome back,Maestro. I think we have (both of us ) survived. Pinky is looking great!
Unfortunately the pinky was straighter for a while and then got worse. I'll see what the DR. says this week. Thanks for the kind note.
Maestro, I am terrible sorry for the miseries you are going through, the best I can send to you through the air is a sincere hug and a very macho kiss in your Pinky ! Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia.
You haven't lost your touch man!
You're the best, brother J.
amazing, thanks!!!
Appreciated!
I love this one!,
There's some nostalgia there!
Dear sir. thank you
Hi Kent, I can't find the music on your website, has it been taken down since? Thank you for the video!
You'll find the arrangement on my website under the heading Free Music Downloads!
@@KentHewittpiano88 Found it thank you!

Men aren't the only ones with alter- egos. Thanks for the specifics about things you liked in the lesson.
Thanks !
also i cant find the score on your website... is this normal?
I don't have a score for this video...but I have numerous scores on both old and new websites.
Also i couldn't find part 3 (said Emoj) but is it possible to write out 10 chorusses from simple to complex, That would be so great a help because your level is that high that the things that for you are normal, aren't that easy at all and we all know how difficult 3/4 are, don't we, For shure without a band?

I can't find the score on your website? Is it still there ?
I found it
Thank you
I would be glad to help.

Hi, Kent. Could you make a video re-harmonizing "Dear Prudence"? (The Beatles)
Greetings and thanks!!
I'll check it out...thanks!
im curious why did you play it in F? Most versions i heard were in B flat, including bill evan's
Yes I had same question...
Just a personal preference.....how it sounds and feels on the piano.
Great work Kent! Did you do a part 3?
I didn't get to a part 3 yet (I'm trying to remember part2).
@@KentHewittpiano88 This video has helped tremendously. Would love to see additional insight in a part 3. Thanks again for these videos!
Thansk. More videos please :)
Thanks ...starting this week.
you are the best 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎼🎹
Thanks so much!
merci :)
Kent, I am visiting a friend in a couple of weeks, and she is requiring that I ride one of her horses! Any advice? Thanks!!!
Jeffrey, yes, as in jazz ...go with the flow, find the natural rhythm of the horse, and feel that rhythm, and try to get in synch with the horse's beat (stride), match it, and compliment it.... as you would with a dancer.

Thx kent
When did u start playing piano
Before I was born.
👍

Dominant 7th chords with sharp 9ths have to have a major 3rd in the octave below...otherwise they are minor 9th chords.
apart from Bill Evans, Kenny Barron is also present in your impro and style, I think. Very nice and tasty. Thanks a lot and God bless you.
I'll take the compliment .....and thank you!

Wow, Stephen, your words need to be put in my "best of comments" archive. Thanks a million!
Thanks for sharing! By far the best jazz lessons I have found on TH-cam!
David...Your comment is much appreciated!
Completely love it!
So glad!

Thanks! George, when we got back it was start doing your taxes.....finally finished that...and hope to get back to making videos every week.
Summer jazz with Kent. What a blessing to my playing! You have know idea how invaluable your lessons are. Thank you so much!

Thanks for telling me...appreciated!
Problem is...I NEVER know what's going to happen next when I'm behind a keybooard sniff sniff!
That's what keeps it interesting.
My Friend Kent, you're a Great Pianist!
There you are, and you are a true friend.
Your an amazing guy Kent. Thanks for your videos they're a great help to me
Kev, I'm sure you are amazing too, if I knew you. But now that we have met, let's keep in touch! Thanks!
Thanks, Kent. Greetings from Copenhagen Denmark.
Greetings, I'd like to visit there someday.
Great tutorial as always. Very easy to follow.
Keep it up!
Thanks for telling me. Keep watching!
I live the thirds. Bill did this too.
That's where I heard it...from Bill's recording
I meant : like the thirds. :)
Love it! Any particular reason you chose to do it in F instead of Bb?
Thanks Lucas, I like the sound of it on piano in that key, plus it's a better range for piano starting on middle C. The composers wrote it in that key and the early fake books had it in F. The "Real" books changed the key maybe because it was better for Bb and Eb horns. Most horn players call it in Bb. Bb puts the high note 2 octaves above middle C, either that or you're starting on F below middle C, good for tenor sax I guess
Kent Hewitt Interesting bit of jazz history! That does make sense though.
Wow. What a Great Sound.
That's the Mason and Hamlin sound...we love this piano!
