This is excellent, would be great to see more tunes analyzed like this. You could make it a whole series!
what tunes?
But Not For Me!! would like some insight on the john coltrane version from my favorite things (and compare it to other versions too hehe)
my one and only love!
Jazz Duets Thank you for all that you share 🎶💯
@@JazzDuets Geogia on My Mind - a classic
One of my favourite TH-cam channel now
This is, in my opinion, the best tutorial on the concept of harmonization. Starting from a simple structure and building it up to a more complex form. It presents harmonization options and different textures or colors depending of our own preferences.
As a part deux to this video, I hope you can find time to overlay the piano chords voicing as well. Thanks!
guitar player here. Great stuff. Still rewatching the modal interchange stevie wonder stuff too.
hmmmmmm I thought I really knew this one!!!!!!!!, Soooooooo glad I watched this..... Its the approach you take... that delivers the reharmonization options where its useful and for me your graphic visuals and sound discourse are the reason I like what you're doing brother!!!!!!
Fantastic and very helpful tutorial that I continously return to. Thank you Nick!
Thanks again Nick for taking your valuable time and energy to provide such a helpful learning tool for those of us who have chosen to grow as musicians. I am a slow learner, but with your help, I am indeed slowly learning.
Summertime is an mazing tune. Over the years i played 5 or 6 different harmonies over it, and none of them pertains to thoses 25 of yours ! BTW great work as always. Many Thanks.
I love these reharmonization videos the most. Always go back to them from time to refresh these great musical ideas.
Your content is incredible, keep it up!
Great lesson. Never thought about that, that way.
Just wanted to thank, cause it's not possible to like again. Found this by accident today, started listening, was ready to press like after first two minutes or so just to realize I had already liked it before. :)
Delightful.. Thank you for posting. Music always helps lift me.. and seeing how a simple chord sequence can be turned into something wonderful by using some theory and knowledge of extensions, voice leading, etc. Mannnnn, I love Gershwin...
Your content is incredibly enriching, thank you so much !
Excellent, a wonderful exposure to possibilities.Love these.
This is fantastic. Thanks for the detail, it's really helpful!
This player with clarinet, very nice!!!
Superb video, many thanks

Fantastic! Learned a lot from this video!
Wow! Cant wait to leave work already. Thank you so much!
Yes! Great ideas, and perfectly presented....
This is a fantastically helpful video, thank you so much
Would love more of these step by step reharmonizations
Excellent,thank you.
As always amazing content. Thanks much
Great job!
Very interesting, well made video, thank you!
Gracias, muy buen profesor. God bless you
wow! fantastic.... thank you so much!!
It's more usefull a video like this then other 1000! Thank you.
Great job with the analysis, I've heard many different arrangements of this great tune
Fan Ta stic! Thanks a great lot! Now we need the Gil/Miles eternal version! 😊
great content as always mr jazz duet!
I usually play Fm7/Bb7/ | Ebm7/Ab7/ | D7#5/// | G7 | for the second 4.
Fantastic video, thanks
Excelente. Fino material el que nos brinda. Sincero agradecimiento.
Thanks a lot!!! Great informative video!
I love your videos!!!
Best video of the channel
Super interesting!
Please feel free to suggest favourite versions here!
Wow, Nick! Not sure how I missed this back in July. Was referenced to it while watching your Micheal Brecker maj3 over minor chord video and the Stevie Wonder whole tone video multiple times. Anyway, you have Wes Montgomery's photo on this video thumbnail. So my favorite Summertime contrafact is Four On Six. Thanks!!!!!!!!
Wonderful! Thank you !!
This is great mate. Cheers
thank you
Great video, thanks!
Excellent ! Cela me donne envie de proposer d'autres harmonisations.
Thanks for all this, especially the Gerschwin version on the beginning (Cm6 to Dm6) which is a must in a small formation to produce the essence of the song (that southern moist and heavy heat). Just one thing: I play Cm6 to Cm7 before going into Fm7 in bar 4. Somehow the C7 is just too much information and I like to give some sort of "false" conclusion to the first mouvement before going into the rest of the song. But hey, as you said, many great ways to harmonize this fantastic song, and you covered most of them (I use the more bluesy/churchy colors to stay in the southern regions of the USA mood). I'm actually gonna try some of your stuff I'd overlooked. Thanks again !
great video, man
Please more like this.
Amazing, one of my favorite “real” versions of this was the recording with Artie shaw
That blew my mind.
This was very interesting
4:20 oh yeah
JM MP was expecting a 6/9 chord
Awesome as always! Could you try to analyze A.C. Jobim's Sabiá harmony?
I love this tune and this tutorial so much :)) Now, if you'd mix this up with your 'Upper Structure Triads' tutorials... Pleeeease.... :D
I can feel the sun beating down on me: Cm6 to Dm6
GRAZIE !!!
Thanks! Original is best!
Excelente. Can you explain the chord progression of the version from Olivier Franc at Jazz in Marciac 2009 with Wynton Marsalis?? This is one of the best versions ever.
Lol, probably should have watched the whole series before jumping in now- I’ll be right back in a few weeks
cool vid
@jazz duets thank you so much for your work and insight. Is the F7 functioning as a secondary dominant? Particularly in bar 12?? It resolves to Ebmaj so I’m unsure what the function it is. Obviously you could throw a Bb afterwards.
Thanks, I like all of those options 😅 what do I do?
Hi Nick, great Video! The only thing i don't unterstand is the ii v path Eb_7 Ab7 to D_7 at 8:18? the ii v for D(maj) should be E_7 A7 - so whats the musical theory behind the ii-v in this case? Thank you for your answer, Till
It's a chromatic ii V! It has an interesting sonority for being out of the key, but the 3rd and 7th movement to land in the next ii V is similar from the movement inside the ii V. To exemplify. Eb-7 has a Gb (3rd) and a Db (7th) walking into a Ab7 with a Gb (7th) and a C(3rd). Then you go from an Ab7 to D-7 where you'll have an F (3rd) and C (7th).
So in every movement the third and the seventh from the chord you are in will move no more than a half step to find the seventh and the third from the next chord.
Maybe someone can explain better than me, but I hear it that way! Hope it helps!
You should probably look at the Ab7 as a dominant of G7, and this makes a lot of sense - you just have the ii chord of each dominant added before it. So basically, it's just an Ab7-G7 (subV/V-V) with some more harmonic movement. Adding the ii chord before the dominant doesn't really change how it functions.
That's actually my favorite part. That's what makes jazz my favorite music and it has endless possibilities.
I’ve been pondering this for a while now and I think it makes sense because the voicings of the Eb and Ab chords. They descend neatly into the D-7 so you could think of this chromatically, as well as the notes compact into a tight almost crunchy bunch going into the Ab7 with the Ab and Gb adjacent which makes for a refreshing yet not too strong resolution to the D-7 where all of the notes are some 3rds apart. This is exemplified by the melody resolving to a D. Sometimes you need to take a step back in analyzing and look at chords as individual notes that lead you somewhere. Hope this helped. 8:16
Sure, there's some chromatic voice leading happening, but I would still suggest looking at the bigger picture and what functions the chords have. The Dm7 is actually an irrelevant chord - it's just a delayed resolution to G7. The Ab7 clearly wants to resolve to the G7 - it doesn't really resolve to the Dm7 chord.
The chord progression is sub(ii-V)/V -> ii-V. The Ab7 is still functioning as the (substitute) dominant of G, but the resolution is delayed by adding the Dm7 chord between the Ab7 and G7.
In jazz basically all dominant chords can be replaced with a ii-V. So the original progression is simply Ab7-G7-Cm, i.e. subV/V-V-i. But we can turn all V chords into ii-V progressions to create more harmonic movement. So the progression becomes Ebm7-Ab7-Dm7-G7-Cm. The Ab7-G7 resolution is still there, it's just delayed.
Good job. What's the book used in the explain of the using of the chords ?
Niiiiiiceeeeeeee
Just to point out, the augmented 5th of G7 (D#) is enharmonic to Eb, the root of the preceding chord. This makes for pretty voice leading.
Now I get it, thanks a lot
Thank you for the brilliant video, as always Sir! It probably worth mentioning that this piece has a particular job in Porgy and Bess, which is to show that Summertime , usually viewed as a nice time, is also a time of relentless work under a relentless sun. Hence Gershwin's choice of the repetitive dark C-6 D-6 motif.
I’m still waiting for part 2 ‘You and I by stevie wonder further analysis’ video
👍
several times bar 8 is marked G7+ while the piano plays G7
Far out!
At 8:25, there's Eb-7 to Ab7, which is explained as the ii V, resolving to a D-7.
Could someone teach me how the Ab7, which seems to be a bV7/ii, is resolved into the D-7 or the ii?
jeewoo7195 good question bro. Still couldn’t figure that out
I think it means that Eb-7 is the ii of D-7, and Ab7 is the V of D-7, so it's a ii V progression relative to the D-7.
sillydillydokieo how come Ab7 could be the V of D-7? And Eb-7 could be The bII of D-7 in this case but still doesn’t make sense.
@@poderes Oh, yes, I see your point. Good questions, I can't believe I overlooked it. Ab7 is the flat V of D, that's the issue, right? Maybe the song is in the Locrian mode? I dunno...
Who is the clarinetist, I can’t quite place him..?
Abba
Maybe I’m missing something, but in 7:48 it’s an Eb-9, not an 11 chord.
Nice content tho :)
Gershwin wrote in the last beat of the bar 8 a II b 9#11 chord . I don't understnd why this guy transcribe this song in C minor , it's in A minor !
It would be nice to make these videos in Italian too.
Sounds like something you could do!
thanks for video , but if you can put the hands with real playing this chords step by step with the sheets
I always hear lots of classical notes
I dont like this. Its nonsense! G7#5/B.
- Guitar guy
you put so much emphasis on your 'k' i just can't put my finger on your accent
haha!
The Bb in bar 14 sounds disgusting!!
