Now I want to hear Ambrose Akinmusire play Into the Unknown

I ve been asking this in recent years. I think we need our jazz leaders to carry this forward. My band just doesn’t buy it yet.

Awesome video! My Favourite Things was more or less my introduction to the jazz world, so it's got a special place in my heart. Loved the breakdown of Say It Somehow, even without being familiar with the song.

i am so happy that I saw this video. Thank you, Brian.

Wonderful Video! Thank you for doing this topic. “The Light in the Piazza" is probably my favorite musical score in this century, such emotional, warm, sensual music writing. In terms of other musical theater composers, there has to be some jazz moments in Sondheim shows. Also I wonder what do you think of Michael John LaChiusa's scores? He did write a "jazz" musical called "The Wild Party".

Oscar Peterson’s West Side Story is an amazing example of a reimagined set of show tunes by a jazz genius.

Thanks for sharing your analysis. I'm learning so much with this.

You made my musical theatre heart just burst watching this! I love seeing interviews with composers and that video that you pulled from with Sondheim and Guettel is a recent find of mine, and as soon as Sondheim was listing his favorites, I immediately made a Spotify playlist to sit and listen! My favorite songs from this score are probably Say It Somehow, The Light in the Piazza, and The Beauty Is! I could talk forever about all the amazing things he does in the song “Light in the Piazza” but one of my favorites is the extending of the resolution at the end of the song, which reminds me heavily of the end of “At the Ballet” with the bVI, bVII, I progression where the bVII is held out longer than you’d expect to create that tension and finally resolves up to the I

Fascinating concept for a video! Never thought of this necessarily. Keep killing it! 🤘🤘🤘

Musical theater: NEVAR! /hums radio commercial for Dear Evan Hansen...

This is a really well done video

haven’t watched it yet but i know it’ll be excellent i love this channel

Great video as always!

I’m definitely looking for music of substance that can connect with today’s crowds thanks for attempting this.

always an appreciator with an ear to the ground of every song, I feel music deeply but your video helps me to KNOW why my heart can sing along with my mind...thanks again, Brian.... Mrs. Brandl Kirby... p.s., has Buti been watching?

You inspired me to do more score analysis

Off-topic, but that's the most badass count in I've ever seen: stare into the middle distance, then stamp your dress shoe on the wooden stage twice

Thank you! Needed this info. Shared

Made my morning 🤙🏽

Excellent content as always. Adam seems like a very interesting person and composer, definitely gonna check him out! Btw, what are your plans on the Discord server, if you have thought more deeply about it?
