I can only imagine the library of Chords Sean has in his head to be able to decipher what everyone's playing. You can't hear what you don't "know". - Sean Wilson
Out of the four people playing this song right now, I prefer the boss Sean Wilson for having an ability to know what others are playing in light of their own context. Music is just a beautiful gift that help people express themselves in their own style. By the way, this is the first time I'm hearing this song. Can someone point me to the original link. Thanks Sean the Baba of Chordzzz.🤓
JASON is on another planet in terms of his interpretation of music. I can’t even listen to him playing without screaming. I love the other two pianists as well. ❤❤❤
Mind boggling video. This tri split is bananas 🔥 These guys always amaze me because they arrange off the cuff so beautifully. Of course, they've built their vocabulary over much time and practice. Great video Sean!!
I learned 'The Promise' from this actual video of Kevin Bond. The sound quality initially hooked me .. Then came the voicings.🔥🔥.. Will definitely stealing some of Jason Tysons approach on this as well now
Yeah He's Painting A Picture With His Style. SMOOTH, Melodic Style. BEAUTIFUL! I C A n Old Red Barn Sitting In A Field As I'm Traveling. Being Blessed 😏🔥🎹🙏
Excellent. I appreciate all 3 approaches and fully understand what you mean by the different context for Jason. It is like playing with a second keys who is chording on the pads/organ, as opposed to be being the sole keyboardist in the song. So I definitely get what you mean by a melodic approach vs. a harmonic one. I love both. Eddie Brown is very deliberate in his chord voicings. I would call him an ultimate studio musician. He seems to derive very theoretically sound harmonies.
Later in this musical painting, , Jason takes me 2 the California beach ( CHILLIN, BREEZY, flowing waves). Then He took me Smack-Dab 2 Manhattan. The MAGIC of MUSIC... GOD blessed me 2 draw artistically so I TOTALLY get the " It's like he's 🖌️ painting a picture.
One of my great jazz pian0 master, and I mean great pianist!!! He loves Jasón Tyson and know I also like Tyson. Any way, this three master are great 👍🏻
Jason Tyson : melodic simplicity and the power of melody lines and melodic scales. Takes the simple basics and turns them into an advanced heavy melodic beast. Similar to quenel ,Alain merville and Rodney east. Who have chosen the more melodic feeling and approach to keys Eddie brown: always stays away from traditional progressions and plays from his head what he perceives is the most unused chord voicing to play. Hence why he always plays with a stanky face cause he keeps inventing what to play at the get go based on rhythm at that point Kevin bond : always engages his left hand voicings to change the overall voicing of his plays. His mastery over rootless makes a normal 1 chord sound like an advanced minor 11th or 9th sound. Fully utilized the power of the diminished in every way he can in his play when need be Another person with this playing style is an old OG Jason white Then there the hybrid who utilizes all of the above and makes it his own but has taken a cooler path since he’s older. MIKE BEREAL😂😂😂 All Of the above stated is of my opinion and can be subjugated to critique if need be
@Nasm Boyd Mike Bereal takes a MODAL APPROACH to his play every time especially his frequent use of the LYDIAN SOUND (scales and chords) and the LOCRIAN NATURAL 2 SOUND.
Always go to the GOAT. (Bond). All of these guys are great though. When I gig a musician, I make sure they can stride, comp, chord substitution, and solo. Bond always plays perfect for any vocalist or album. He plays the melody and his middle voice (like stride, ragtime, or jazz and hit the silent pockets). It allows us to sing our own lines. Most modern musicians just play the solos or comp substitution chords at the wrong place while the vocalist is running a different chord. Sometimes pianist can mess up the total orchestration harmonic. It ain't fun singing over Art Tatum (even though he's a solo beast). P.S. I don't know if you record albums, but you have the ear and scribe skills. You should play strings/guitar/bass, vocals, and drums. You'd make alot of albums as a band leader (if you're not doing it already). To be able to play all this stuff immediately after hearing it, means you have alot of ear scribing. They required alot of that when I minored in music back in the day.
@@thisperson6146 Justin doesn't have half the vocabulary... He could probably imitate and transcribe Jason as a reader reads a book, but he can't produce from nothing what these souls can. Mechanics is one thing, music soul is another...
@@joanbeltre You gotta be kidding me. Justin has more soul than this dude! You can feel it and see it as he plays. Its impossible to be a child prodigy and not have the soul for the craft. Its a natural God given gift! I've never seen Justin imitate anyone. He always takes something and plays it how he feels it to be played, and its ALWAYS better than the original. Guaranteed, any professional musician/producer would agree with me. This shouldn't even be a debate. For you to even suggest otherwise tells me alot about your musical background.
Hi Sean ....is it possible to get hold of Luther ( Mano ) Heigns ...Is it not him that plays this song for Andre Crouch on the live recording ...Mano is awesome ..Saw him some earlier years with Ce ce winans live ..
I think "substitution" is a misnomer - kinda makes it sound like you're *replacing* something with something totally random. It's more like "chord seasoning." You want your chicken to taste better, you don't substitute it - you season it... and these guys are certainly culinary experts!
It’s called substituting- whether you like how that sounds or not- because you are replacing chords with something that isn’t random to the player but to the listener is technically random by the definition of the word (“unfamiliar or unspecified”) In this case the chicken is the melody, what the dish means. The chords are the seasoning/ garnish/ side that give context to the chicken and, because I’m already down this rabbit hole, rhythm is your method of cooking it
@@JJR52 Yeah the terminology doesn't matter to experienced guys, I just think the "substitution" concept promotes novice players to overuse unnecessary over-the-top reharmonizations. Substitute at your own risk 😂
One thing that holds true for all these pro cats 😺 is every time they play 1 particularl song it's going to sound different. They have too vast of a vocabulary to ever give it to you the same way twice
This is interesting to me because no one would say they played the song wrong. They clearly all played with different chords and substitutions. It’s important to listen in context.
