If you saw a recent video of Jesus you'd barely recognise him - dude lost so much weight. Either way, completely ridiculously amazing pianist. His videos for Spectrasonics/Omnisphere were my introduction to him, blew my mind. Kind of a rhythmically challenging transcription, I'll bet!
Honestly though, I don't even know where to start but I feel like the Nord was built for his playing. Like his iconic playing style fused with the iconic Nord sound just works so well. You can instantly tell it's Jesus Molina playing blindfolded, and I think that is amazing - something a lot of jazz musicians strive for - a recognisable and unique style. Good choice from Nord to have him advertise their products.
I've often struggled to find words for a feeling that certain music such as this music gives me. You have captured it in this one statement. I thank you. Thumbs up
Amazing improvisatory arrangement by Jesús Molina! He has a new song out on all platforms- "Tu Noche." Today's sheet music trivia (first to answer correctly gets PDF): -how many notes did Jesús play?- Jesús is from: _________ Join our secret music club: discord.com/invite/xBmYHcm46u
No doubt of it.. I just discovered this young man few weeks ago and I'm more than surprised... Is a grate musician.. And he have lot of tutorials for beginners and pro.. He doesn't keep his talent for himself, he share it with all ones.. Bravo!.. blessings for him !
To what extent do you have to master the piano to be able to improvise like that? Like, when an idea appears in your mind you can instantly play it, that’s my dream
I recommend to learn to play chords a lot and scales, forget for a moment to read music sheet. I know people that started piano reading music sheet and they can play pretty well and hard classical pieces buy they can't improvise even in a C major scale. Start to feel the music, play something easy like C - Dm - F - C, and try to improvise using the C major scale and then start to use some black notes just in the tempo that you feel it. I don't know exactly how to explain it to be honest, just feel the music :)
Me thinks, boatloads - Because it also depends on mastery of musical language and your physical dexterity to apply that language at the pace of your mind’s creative abilities. So it’s like: Hear something in head ->> automagically translate it into your personal musical language (which comes from years of internalizing and listening to music or magic or whatever power source ya got) ->> get it out on the instrument (ditto… years of technical practice applying your language) I think the mind will always lead the body - “In the province of the mind there are no limits…” That’s why I think a lot of the jazzers Panonicas book "Three Wishes" would still use one of their wishes on “to play what I hear in my head”. It's a never-ending pursuit of artistic expression! Fun and shareable at any level!
This is 100% not improv. It's a beautifully written piece that displays a lot of different motifs, takes time to write almost 3 minutes of great music like that.
You need chord knowledge rather than piano playing skills. Learn a simple chord progression and try improvising a melody to it. Once you've done that, try using tension chords or modulating. This is the basic way of learning.
@@jaune4720 Some notation I don't understand, like what does capital M mean ? Weird way to write Maj7 (^) in particular on just any extension ? Very confusing
It is always so inspiring to me to see what We as Humans can do With Dedication Discipline And Practice. So beautiful to Hear and see this Performance.
i just have this on loop while i work (right-click video while in a web browser). it's such peaceful ambient music that is soothing and helps calm me as i focus. what a wonderful gift Jesús gave us! thank you maestro!
@@explosionimplosion4679 I did 😂 but I still come back to it occasionally. I have ADHD so I can listen to the same thing on loop for hours and hours and it doesn't bother me. Actually helps me focus by getting rid of my own internal background noise LOL
I want to see him play with Jacob Collier and Chris Thile, and Cory Henry. I also want to hear him play some funk / synthwave stuff. Such a great musician.
Check out the glissandos at 1:05. Looking like he's mashing every key, black and white. But the sound is very clearly not chromatic. I wonder if there's a setting on the keyboard to register only diatonic notes?
