It's so helpful how you analyse and describe what the artist is doing. It helps us both to appreciate his work and to incorporate elements from his playing into my own.
Thank you, Jeremy, for this episode. I, too, love Brad's style of musical composition (both form and improvisations). You have clearly captured elements of his style, which I find fascinating and helps me to hear, understand, and appreciate his style even more. Your personal composition in Brad's style convincingly summarizes your lesson. Thank you very much. This, along with the volumes of other fantastic lessons, has convinced me that I need your Book on Solo piano - purchased just now.
1. The first 3 bars of your composition are very similar to Nino Rota's theme from The Godfather. 2. Much of the beauty of Brad's work, and your Brad-inspired piece, lies in the arpeggiating left-hand accompaniment. 3. I've long wondered why mixing a minor and major 3rd sounds so good/normal in blues, but is supposed to be impermissible in classical and non-blues jazz. 4. The flat 6th on a major chord seems to be gaining popularity; I hear it fairly often now. The flat 2nd not so much, except as a passing note. But as a teacher once told me, there's no iron rule that one must play Ionian on a major. 5. In Brad's Art of the Trio 4, on his solo on Solar (or is it his solar on Solo), which is especially popular, he seems to play E (natural) maj scale on the Eb maj on at least two choruses. What in heaven is that: just playing out? 6. He too studied with Fred Hersch. Have you met him?
The Waltons John Boy, Jeremy and I see your books have been well used with the creased edges of your books. Excellent analysis Jeremy, I learnt a lot here - cheers 🍻
Where can I find the " in the style of Siskind" video around here? Can't believe your still sharing your seemingly (endless?) knowledge to us simpletons! Side note: I've enjoyed all of your guest videos as well and their exercises, although there seems to be a common theme where you end up executing them better than your guest....When will we meet your match?? Cheers!
Hi Jeremy thanks for all your videos and hard work with your teaching. I’ve been playing classical piano for a few years and am in the beginning stages of jazz piano (I clumsily know about 10 tunes with rootless voicings). I was wondering if you could do a future video on internalizing the timing for chord changes on a lead sheet. It’s fine if I count it out loud or with a slow metronome but feeling it with other players without those is something completely different. Thanks!!
@@JeremySiskind Thank you. I literally got RealPro to work today and after quite a bit of effort I was able to play along with the songs I knew the most well. I had tried some other backing tracks that were similar about a month ago and couldn’t get it but this time went better, a bit of light at the end of the beginner tunnel. :-)
I'm watching this vid now, regardless, and I don't care. I didn't watch the last one yet, because for some vids I like having my phone and digi-piano going into the same mixer... and when I had the option, I forgot😡, and now I don't have the option, again, until later. But I'm watching this right now anyway. I'll use my imagination.
From the bullet points at the head, that's all stuff that comes naturally... except for the relative dearth of 7ths. That's interesting, and I hadn't really heard it directly, but that helps me anchor some qualitative observations more practically.
Please make sure to do more videos about Brad!!
Great teacher always
Great lecture! I go directly to the piano!
If Mehldau can call Brahms "John Boy," you can call Mehldau "Brad(s)"!
Haha I like it!

Still love your videos. But the question is, why is everybody who had Fred Hersch as a teacher so good?
Lol, Fred is a great teacher and one of the best solo pianists ever!
Nice tune !

Thanks for checking it out, Martyn! It’s nice to see ya here!
Thank you so much for this lesson Jeremy! I hope that we will have more videos of you in the future considering composing!
Very insightful video, thank you Jeremy!

Let me think about what I could do that would be useful for you. Do you play along with backing tracks including iRealPro?

@@jonbarnhart1947great! Keep at it! I think it will help!
@@JeremySiskind thank you again you are an invaluable asset to the music community!!!

That was a cool homage. Without a doubt I'd know whose style you were going for, and I'm usually a dunce about those things.
