Moanin' -- jazz piano

  • I listened to a CD by Eldar Djangirov recently which had this tune on it. I really liked how he approached it. He would go big, then go small, then go big again. He plays it with a happy Oscar Peterson vibe. I thought it would be fun to copy his approach. I didn't copy his notes, but I tried to get the same feel and same musical arcs. This was a lot of fun to do. It was a bit of a stretch because it is different than my usual style. It also gave me the opportunity to explore GarageBand a little bit more. The backing tracks were done before I recorded the piano track. I used GarageBand and Synthogy Ivory Steinway piano patch. The keyboard is a Yamaha CP300.
    I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed doing this.

      It's funny, I played this in a jazz band and then I watched kids in the slope and recognized the song. Probably in my top 5 piano songs.

  • @JPhillipsYT

    That's a very well thought out arrangement. Great Job! I have been playing and listening to solo jazz piano most of my life, and have to say many of your videos give me more listening pleasure than some of the well known jazz piano greats..... You have tasty licks, great voicing, well timed silence... swing.... dynamic expression, a balanced sprinkling of speed/technique ..... Kudos! Keep up the great work! -James

    God bless you, America, for jazz and nothing else... My master- and slave- ancestors find a peculiar redemption in this interpretation of this timeless piece of grief and katharsis synthesis. Is this a glimpse of the essence of the Music itself? By God, truly it is.

    Wow, what can I say? I was really sitting back there clicking my fingers and tapping my foot. This took me to an exclusive club/restaurant with the piano playing in the background. I hope you see that as a good thing... I do.
    I want to get into playing the piano again, i played it in school but they didn't teach properly so i found myself trying to learn things i wanted to. So anyway i've never really got back into it, if i could have 1% of yours talent i'd be happy Well done!

    The tune is in F minor with AABA structure. The basic chord changes are I VI II V I for the A section. IV III II V I for the B section.
    For two hand improvising, I use the LH supportively by picking one voicing for each chord and I play it in sync with the RH. In the RH I play a melody in octaves with 1st and 5th fingers. I just fill in on the fly with fingers 2,3 and 4. I try to fill in with color notes close to the chord I am playing in the LH.
