@@ГеоргийХитаришвили-и1д Dear George! I would say this is "Body and Soul", a popular song and jazz standard written in 1930 with music by Johnny Green and lyrics by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour and Frank Eyton according to Wikipedia info. "Body and Soul" was written in New York City for the British actress and singer Gertrude Lawrence, who introduced it to London audiences. Published in England, it was first performed in the United States by Libby Holman in the 1930 Broadway revue . In Britain the orchestras of Jack Hylton and Ambrose recorded the ballad first in the same week in February 1930. In the United States, the tune grew quickly in popularity, and by the end of 1930 at least 11 American bands had recorded it. Louis Armstrong was the first jazz musician to record "Body and Soul", in October 1930, but it was Paul Whiteman and Jack Fulton who popularized it in United States."Body and Soul" is one of the most recorded jazz standards, and multiple lyrics have been written for it. "Body and Soul" is usually performed in the key of D flat major. There is a verse that precedes the chorus, that is rarely performed, although recordings by both Libby Holman and Billie Holiday include it. The main part of the tune consists of a repeated eight-bar melody, followed by an eight-bar bridge and a final eight-bar return to the melody. The 32-bar AABA form is typical of popular songs of the time. The "A" section uses conventional chord progressions including ii-V-I turnarounds in the home key of D flat, however the bridge is highly unusual in its tonal center shifts. It has been described as "a bridge like no other". "Body and Soul" is considered a challenging piece to solo over; however, the unusual nature of the chords provides a "large degree of improvisational freedom". One of the most famous and influential takes was recorded by Coleman Hawkins and His Orchestra on October 11, 1939, at their only recording session for Bluebird, a subsidiary of RCA Victor. The recording is unusual in that the song's melody is only hinted at in the recording; Hawkins' two-choruses of improvisation over the tune's chord progression constitute almost the entire take. Because of this, as well as the imaginative use of harmony and break from traditional swing cliches, the recording is recognised as part of the "early tremors of bebop". In 2004, the Library of Congress entered it into the National Recording Registry. "Body and Soul" was recorded as a duet by Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse on March 23, 2011. It was the final recording made by Winehouse before her death on July 23, 2011 at the age of 27. The single was released worldwide on September 14, 2011, what would have been her 28th birthday.

You have no idea how this helps me and a lot of young musicians. A lot of us are trying to educate ourselves in this amazing world of jazz music and your channel is simply a gold mine. Thank you so much Jimin!! Greetings from Mexico.
Hola cracks, otro Mexicano... Parece que estamos en videos en Inglés, así que aprovechando, les recomendaría a Jesús Molina y a Piano with Johnny May. Recomendadísimo
I practiced piano for 9 years but I stopped because I was bored and felt like not improving at all which now makes it even harder for me to approach the instrument. But seeing your videos here give me a sudden urge to try it again ngl. I dont know, wish me luck :”)
Videos that teach jazz are really rare in youtube... And your's are by far THE best... I've been playing jazz for 2 years now and since I live in Iran it's really hard to find good sources for jazz education... I really appreciate it if you make more intermediate or expert videos...
They aren't rare, in fact there are a lot of them. They all have their own content and sometimes it's hard to say if one is good or bad. Just pick those that you really learned a lot from genuinely and follow them. There are a number of those that have a lot of tutorials but I don't watch, I only watch those few that I really like.
I never thought about the fact that you could use most chord substitutions as passing chords until you explained how the second dominant thing works. That part of the video alone is so helpful.
You are a very very gifted musician and a wonderful person and a gentle soul. I have played professionally many years and I still love your simple direct approach to the keyboard
There is a touch of room to Expand the sudalties of your Every note added delivery. I Played these songs and some Of these chords my whole life And your brillant ideas make Them new again..thank you
I'm angry at the RU-vid Algorithm for never recommending you. I've discovered your channel through your video with Jonny May and have been binge-watching your videos ever since.
very useful, simple and direct presentation. I've been playing since I was about 6, and listen to only the best. You have excellent sense of tonality and control. This is the first video I've seen. Just checked your bio. Not surprised.
Im 62 and have been playing jazz for over 40 years. never saw such a good teacher on youtube in all that time. I recomend you to all my students and young pianist friends.
This is the kind of videos I've been searching on the Internet since a lot of time ago. It's clear and simple, but with priceless information to develop jazz skills. I just loved it, thank you very much.
Wow! What a beautiful teacher! We can also play one chord by shifting a half-tone up and back, a half-tone down and back (as in blues), and a quart up and back (as in gospel)
1:22 'simple right?' ...... for a professional that is heheh. Actually, it's a great video. That method at 1:30 really makes an amazing difference. And at 2:02 ----- that's a huge transformation from simple to incredible.
THANKS A LOT JIMIN..! You're a very generous person! God bless you for sharing your knowledge to the world. Best regards with great admiration from Mexico.
Thank you for this wonderful video, Jimin! I've been watching Barry Harris videos recently and listening for the "movements" he talks about. Exercises #2 and #3 are "movements" that sound very familiar and natural to my ear and I can't wait to practice them!
