Wow this is great. I had just commented that I’d started Satin Doll on one of your videos recently and I was starting it because I just finished messing around with Alice in Wonderland for a couple months. Used it as a vehicle to drill rootless voicings in all keys. I found a Bill Evans loose arrangement and put my performance on my channel if you’re interested. I’ll go back and revisit it with what you taught here.
hi shan, thanks for the video! I want to ask about some voicings you used while you demo the song in the beginning: 1. In bar 6's E7 (1:01), where u did G Ab C E in your right hand. 2, In bar 8's Eb7, where u did C Db F G in your right hand. They're pretty, but they are neither brothers or wholetones. what are those? I am a jazz skills member but couldn't quite find a section that matches this.
Hi! I'll post a special video for you in the Jazz Skills community this week. Please contact me through the site so I know your name and can let you know when it's ready.
Hey Sean, does this style/genre of piano playing actually have a name? Using these kind of gentle dissonant chords in a ballad style. Or would you just call it that? Thanks for the videos
It feels like a hybrid between locked hands style, with counterpoint, and chromatic movement. In reality, if you're already a pretty good Jazz pianist, it's a beautiful system to make connections.
3:20 G is the second degree of the scale? In F? I'm confused. The song is in C (or Am)? It never ends in C? Unusual song. It's confusing to say G is the second degree of the scale without explaining why. Maybe he just misspoke? Or I have a fundamental misunderstanding of how he's intending to guide us.
At that point, I'm talking about the FMajor 6 dim scale so G is the 2nd degree. I do explain it in this video and deeper in others. However, watching this one several times will likely reveal more each time.
@@JazzSkills thanks for the reply. I've always had a problem trying to remember whether such degrees are identified from the key or from whatever chord (other than the tonic). When I improvise (and not very well, my career is in science) my unconscious brain references every thing from the key(s).

This was awesome! Just what I needed for the movements!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy playing this tune.
Thank you Again..!!!! That was GREAT !!

For me, it's just chord movement on a standard.
