Playing the Donna Lee shapes on Autumn Leaves is the best improv exercise I have done yet. Not just helpful to get the shapes down but also pretty fun to do. That was some solid advice!

@JeremySiskind 2 года назад

Awesome! Have fun with it!

This is one of the most lucid and incisive lessons I’ve seen on bebop and Parker’s style, and I must’ve watched 50 masterclasses in the last month! 🤣 you have a real gift for highlighting the most fundamental and key aspects of a subject, hope you keep teaching jazz - a lot of the players can play like Parker brilliantly but they can’t teach it and only talk in abstractions. Your rhythmic and harmonic analysis here are phenomenally helpful as they give the student some useful techniques to experiment with in their own playing. Really enjoyed the lesson! All the best!

@hello55125 2 года назад

This IS the essence of Parker and all the beeboppers!! Just the litte exercise where you put the approach notes to the third in context sounds like a Bird solo. Could you make some more of these videos? Does your book cover this stuff? If not bring one out!! Thanks

@@JeremySiskind I'm wondering if your books can be applied to any instruments... I'm a bass player and as you know, it's a little difficult for us to get outside of the root note ... Or it may be a great idea for another video !!

@genekelly3961 2 года назад

Hi Jeremy an eye-opener, for real. I really think this concept (strong beat connections) is hardly ever explicitly taught yet it is really an essential principle to sounding bebop legit. I’ve had teachers talk chord scales, licks, rhythm, shapes, etc. This is a jazz nugget. Also, going into 7ths is not as strong as to 3rds, yes? Bought your book, btw!!

@JeremySiskind 2 года назад

Yay! I’m glad you found it helpful, Gene! I do much more practice with thirds than sevens just because they create harmony against the root. They’re both important, but I think thirds are just the most essential.

About "Be Bop", all the secrets are in any Charlie Parker solo, the more you learn, the more you'll "speak" be-bop. No bird, no Bop.

@JeremySiskind Год назад

That seems pretty fair (although Monk repeated claims that he, not Charlie Parker invented it, for whatever that's worth 🤷‍♂️)

@Malcolm.Y Год назад

Wow. A seminar in actual composing instead chord-scale numerology. I could say a lot, but as a former drummer - it's not just the snare, lol. What you call compound melody, I always called delayed resolution, and at a higher level than mine, the delays can be real counter melodies. I always told people, there is more to learn in the head of Donna Lee than there is in a year of trying to figure out what scale goes with what chord, because there is only scale and it goes with all the chords - the chromatic scale. lol

Bud Powell has been my favorite pianist for about 25 years. When watching this video, I started thinking about his music, then you said his name. Then when you started playing blues for Alice I started thinking about Bach, then you mentioned Bach. I don’t know what that means but it’s a strange coincidence at the very least. Do you concur?

Jeremy. Thank you so damn much. You helped me get out of a rut. The 1/2 step leading (ascending or descending) into the chord tone on beat 1 and beat 3 really helped me to be more free and melodic when playing bebop. Thank you and bless you.

Great, enjoy, and let me know how it goes!

@flober1970 Год назад

Thanks again ! I have read a lot and seen many courses, but you are the first that I know to talk about the concept of compound melody. Maybe not the best term, I see it as a structural element, like the pillars of a building. This concept is obvious in the non-bebop tune of bye bye blackbird. Some of these concept can be seen in the great ‘forward motion’ book of Hal Galper.

@p1anosteve 3 года назад

So interesting your analysis. I have no idea, but wonder might it be that Parker's melodic shaping was something to do with him playing saxophone and the way that get various intervals on that instrument.

@JeremySiskind 3 года назад

You could be right about the saxophone, but I'm not sure. As I said in the video, I think that shape creates rhythm, and players on virtually every instrument have imitated Parker's shaping.

@kopajertamas 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jeremy I think this is one of the most helpful bebop video on yt! Thank you so much! But I still have some issues with this style. For example at the first topic. How do you connect the enclosures?

@JeremySiskind 10 месяцев назад

Do you mean how do you connect "in between" the enclosures? Well, that's a huge question. The easy answer would be, "by using arpeggios and scales." But if you ask a more specific question I might be able to give you a better answer.

@ChrisPBacon-so6rl 3 года назад

Hey Jeremy! Great lesson, just bought your book and have found a huge amount information to add to my practice routine (specifically the ballad section on a tune like misty). I was hoping you could cover retaining repertoire? Do you have a day dedicated to that during the week or do you just ingrain every tune by practicing in all 12 keys (I still forget these tunes tho). Any help is great and keep doing what you’re doing!

@JeremySiskind 3 года назад

Great - glad you found good stuff in the book. Retaining repertoire is difficult. I would A) keep a list and separate it by tunes you DEFINITELY know, tunes you MOSTLY know, and tunes you sorta know; B) do an hour-long performance twice a week. At a cafe, on Instagram live, SOMETHING to keep you playing. The best way to retain repertoire is to PLAY. C) Remember that memory has three components (at least) - aural, tactile (muscle memory), and intellectual. I would identify which is the weakest/strongest for you and try to improve your weakness and accentuate your strengths. I think playing in all 12 keys is a wonderful exercise, but is usually overly time-consuming and not productive. Playing tunes in just one other key I think is just as useful - it forces you to listen and to really think about the changes. I hope that helps a bit!

@AkosTothHotClub Год назад

Donna Leaves? D'autumn Lees? 😉👏👏👏

@Jzh733 2 года назад

So we should accent the weaker beat instead of the strong ones most of the time?

@JeremySiskind 2 года назад

Yes yes yes!!!

@alexandros_haralabidis Год назад

Hi Jeremy, I started by writhing solos (playing directly is a bit premature for me) following the Donna Lee shape and I liked it a lot, do you think it's ok? I wrote a solo for Whisper Not -first chord C minor- (which has a different chord structure of course), first note G as Donna Lee, trying to find good notes for every chord following closely Donna Lee. Would you reccomend a more loose approch based on the general shape that I remember by memory? I discovered you and your channel a few days ago, I'm already an admirer in terms of your playing and of your pedagogic skills. Thanks for your precious advice! Greetings from Athens, Greece.
