I've been trying to figure out lead sheets for so long. Got two different jazz books and they go form simple explanations of scales and chords, then immediately jump to concepts that are way beyond my comprehension. Very discouraging. This video is so useful, thank you!
Fantastic. I just found your channel here in the future and am very excited. I have been looking to learn jazz from the ground up. Do you cover basic to professional left-hand patterns in (your) future videos?
Is the outdo of A Train supposed to be in a different key than c major like in the 1941 Duke Ellington recording? When I play A Train with other players sometime I hear a tenor sax player playing the ending a minor third away or some interval near that.
Yes you are so correct the D7 chord should not be an altered chord. In an altered chord every tension must be altered. So the chord symbol is incorrect.
hi tony, i was under the impression that a dominant 7th chord is a 7th chord built on the 5th degree of the scale, hence the "dominant". I see that you are referring to D7 as a dominant 7th even though D is the 2nd degree of C mixolydian, is my knowledge of dominant 7ths incorrect?
Technically, you're right. But any dominant 7th chord can be called a V chord even if it's a 'temporary' V chord. The proper analysis of the D7 is V/V. ( Five of five). It can also be called a secondary dominant.
Wow... that was the best break down I’ve seen. Learning how to read a use a lead sheet is crucial for a jazz beginner!
Thank you, thank you a thousand times for bring jazz to the average pianist who wants to be better. God Bless You!
Tony Winston deserves to be a lot better known. Solid instruction delivered with great wit.
Khayyam1048 thank you sir!

At 1:49 in the original recording, the song modulates to E flat. It isn't done like that by most small combos today.
THANK YOU！
Very nice and very helpful. Thank you .
Corinne Clancy But surely a triangle = maj 7?
Beryl Hart triangle is just the major chord
why would there be a nat 9 on an alt chord, should it not be a b9???
Yes you are so correct the D7 chord should not be an altered chord. In an altered chord every tension must be altered. So the chord symbol is incorrect.
an alt chord could be b9 or #9 or b5 or #5. the b9 is the original i think.

@@TonyWinston ah got it. Is this case, D7 functions as the "secondary dominant" to G7. Thanks! Great video all around.
Nice lesson
Thanks
