Joni Mitchell: I used to call them, not knowing what a sus chord was myself, I called them chords of inquiry. They have a question mark in them. They’re sustained. Men don’t like them because they like resolution, just like they do in life.
Wayne Shorter said to me, “What are these chords? These are not guitar chords and these are not piano chords. What are these chords?” And then he said, “You realize some of them are sus chords.” And he went, “They create suspense. They’re suspensions. They’re unresolved, like a major is a positive statement. A minor is a tragic chord, right? The seventh is a kind of a bluesy chord. But a sus chord has a question mark in it. It lacks resolution.”
So the law, according to Wayne Shorter, who studied music and had a degree from Berklee College of Music, he said, “We were taught to never stay on a sus chord too long. Never ever go from a sus chord to a sus chord.”
I stay on sus chords a long time and go from sus chord to sus chord, and then by building that, because it builds tension, when you drop into a major chord, it’s like the major chord was never more major. It’s like a complementary colour - the sky just opens up.
I don’t really know the neck comprehensively, but as far as composing and finding unusual chordal colours and combinations, my system works for me very well. Except that when it comes to sitting down and playing with someone else and following their music, I’m handicapped in communicating with other musicians. I have to just play it, and they’ll say, “Oh yeah, now she’s going to a C. Here’s she’s going to a such and such.”

Wayne Shorter's music is as enduring as ever. A musical genius in the truest sense, the Jaco of the saxophone.
Great video once again! What a beautiful tune..
Glad you like it!
Thanks so much!
So generous, best jazz insights out there.

That is a beautiful solo, not an attempt… thanks for a relaxing and educational video.
Enigmatic ❤
Than you, Tony. This one really gave me a kick. I just love Wayne and Herbie. How about some analyzing of Joe Zawinuls "expressions" (solo-frasing)?
Your piano sounds gorgeous! And the touch! Awesome job! What mics do you use?
you got it 😧
Huge fan of your content Tony! I was wondering what your thought process was at 15:07 during the A13b9 when you played an Ab7/Dalt LH voicing instead of A7
Uh... I think I screwed up. I thought it was A flat. The print's too small! Bad font!! I got a million excuses lol
The dirty "secret" of Jazz - mistakes are made lol
FR Coltrane would be open that he sometimes got lost and just kinda trusted McCoy Tyner and his bassist to guide him when that happened. Now of course there's a lot of skill necessary of the whole band to be able to get away with that but nevertheless I find it charmingly amusing
A very good mess you made!!!! Your impro sounded very cool@@TonyWinston
Thank you Sir , I like the way you meticulously explain sh*t and I'd like to give you money . How can I do that ?

You need to pump the pedal more. Don't just leave it depressed. It muddies things up if you just leave the pedal down.
OK good advice - thx
@@TonyWinstonThanks for your comment in reply. I pump the pedal to mark the end of a phrase and the beginning of the next one. It is especially muddy sounding when the pianist leaves the pedal down during a modulation. It's like, OK, which key is it? Depressing the pedal is a joint together, and releasing it acts as an erasure.
Errol Garner never gave any thought to the pedal, he would just press it at the beginning of the song and leave it down the whole time. This really muddied things up for him. Garner claimed he never had any music lessons, and took this as a point of pride. Big mistake. A single lesson could have pointed out this infirmity in his style, a weakness that plagued his whole career.
@@johnnydawson7675 I always found his songs to be more colorful than a lot of pianist, + penthouse serenade shows his pedal skills dont you think ?
