“Really nice guy” from the Rex in Toronto here :) Thanks for posting this video! It was great to hear Jeremy in performance mode. Anyone who watches this channel knows what a terrific teacher he is, but if you get a chance to hear him play live, do it! The Toronto gig was led by the wonderful composer, vocalist and alto sax player Stephanie Chou, and a lot of the tunes were based on Chinese traditional and pop music. So there wasn’t a lot of stock jazz changes and therefore not much opportunity for players to fall back on familiar tricks and tropes. Jeremy’s comping and playing of written parts was precise and sensitive, and his improvisations were always inventive, creative, and highly musical. He’s a really great player with a lot of depth, much more than he reveals when he's in teacher mode! And in closing, I just want to say ... Ding! - Michael
Jeremy, as I taught junior high band for thirty-three years, I have the super power of ignoring sounds selectively (crying babies included). There’s a “ding” in your video? Really? Are you sure?😂 Anyway, thanks for the lesson. This is good stuff.
The ding and your struggle with it were actually hilarious. Not suggesting you start dinging on purpose but it was as enjoyable as the lesson was helpful. Thanks!
Jeremy, you are such a gift to all of us who love, and are trying to play, this music. Thank you. And worthy of note too is that your humility always shines through even though your impeccable virtuosity and hipness of play are so strikingly apparent. It’s a great world when we awaken to a new Jeremy Siskind video on TH-cam!
Love this. Walter Bishop played a similar thing.There's a great concert from BBC's Jazz 625 series with JJ Johnson, Stitt, Howard McGhee, Tommy Potter and Kenny Clark. The way Bishop's left hand hooks up with Klook's snare is fantastic. Thanks for these great videos!
Thanks for another great lesson, keep ‘em coming! Got the books, working my way VERY slowly through them. I think we should all get ding warrior t-shirts!
There's something about this rhythm that really opens up a ton of possibilities when comping. When trying to be unpredictable I was still mostly playing on the and of 1 and downbeats; but after drilling this rhythm for awhile, a lot of ands of 2 and 4 are naturally coming up now. It's kinda magical, as if something went DING in my comping brain!
Check your wires for your phone or apple devices. Sounds like the wire is coming unplugged occasionally or something might be auto shutting off if it’s happening consistently on time. Great video!
Jeremy!!! I don’t know if you read the comments as you’re so busy …..but is there any way I could get a transcription of your Autumn Leaves that you played here? Please let me know - $$$$$ - I’m already a pro but I love your improv 🙏🦋👏🩵
That's very nice! I don't transcribe my own solos...I'm not such a narcissist! 😂 Maybe somebody else wants to transcribe it for you for $$$$. Comment here!
Could it be the other record album that you were trying to remember was: "Compin' with the Miles Davis Quintet".? ;) By the end of this video, the din' wasn't so bad after all.

Your impromptu solos are just too good...
OMG I started hearing the ding as an anticipation of a strong beat
Ha!

There were 4 Miles Davis albums: Cookin', Workin', Relaxin', Steamin'
Ding warrior persisted to the end! Great lesson to add to the class - the Red Garland rhythm is hard to make stick

One lags and the other comes early
Haha 🤣 despite the computer hiccups this is a great video. Thanks ❤
I watched all the way thru and didn't turn into a dingbat! LOL Interesting and helpful lesson.

It's always nice to see a systematisation of things we already know, or think we know. Thank you.
Adding a part on how to practice this would have been useful. Still a great lesson thank you for all of this

Excellent lesson as always!
Great lesson ! I have the book and the video really helps!
hahaha the ding is really starting to be funny 11:47. thanks for the awesome lessons as always, Jeremy!
All the Dings You Are
Thanks. 🛎️
Ding warrior here, it could be a notification about your next gig!
I'm not getting the ding when I play, is that important to the technique?

Loved it. Ok maybe the ding is some bluetooth device with low battery? Or try a computer reset and it might just magically disappear.
The UI of your ebook reader is in Portuguese 🇧🇷 🎉
It’s in Spanish, but probably same/similar result!
The secret is out: “Jeremy is a whacky guy” - who plays a dope solo on jazz piano
Jeremy are you coming to nyc at any point??
What rhythm is the ding playing!😂
Ding Dong the glitch is dead.
