MODAL JAZZ: " Little Sunflower" (Freddie Hubbard)- A Jazz Tutorial 

"Cowboys singing bebop tunes around the campfire", imagine that, that's priceless :D :D :D

Freddie Hubbard got me into jazz in 1971 with his First Light. I've always dug this Sunflower tune too. Thanks Kent!

Great playing .And the piano has a good sound.

Thank you again for the presence and care. Very pretty.

LOVELY! Thanks, KH - for holding down the fort and keepin' things GROOVY! 🎶🌺🌷🎹🎼🎵

I love groovy cowgirls... Nice solo Kent. I dig it.

Thanks Kent these are great. Got your book yesterday, just what I needed.

Performance of tune begins @01:46

Thanx, Maestro 🔥🌹🌹🌹🔥

"What do you call a retired cowboy? de-ranged!" Here in Old England we call that a "Corny" joke. ie: worn out and tiresome but in a good way. The more corny the better. Good lesson for me. understanding different scales is my weakest point. You'll never win the talk more talk less argument. These lessons are well balanced I reckon.

Master Hewitt, nice to see you again

Mr. Hewitt! I just popped in to say hi to the grooviest guy who showed me piano was possible!! I've been on a classical kick lately on the keys and I'm not fighting it. When I'm not practicing classical I'm coming back to your "over the rainbow reharmonization". Man O man! That 2-5-1 approach used in the the Eflat major - Cmin - Gmin replacing the Cminor with the A7b5 to D7 progression was making light bulbs go off every which way. Realizing the A7b5 was the 2 of the Gminor and thus the 7 of the Bb major scale was like ZING! And I know there's so much more to uncover. using any chord as the 1 and then finding the 5 of that and the 5 of that. Wow! How cool!? I'm still a complete beginner and so that video is way over my (head)fingers at the moment but it's such a great lesson to grow into. I miss the old format with the upright, but it's so so great to see and hear you. Lots of love!

Thank you kent! I can always find something new and helpful in your videos

Thanks always for sharing your tutorials.

Great the new configuration ,i realy fell like i where by your side ,and for the chords and notes it is much more easier to find !THANKS++++ again Kent !

not gonna lie - I put this on 85% speed on RU-vid... and you're goin HAM at 3 min

Thanks!

Hey bud, I enjoy all your teachings. I like how you breakdown and analyze the different approaches you can take in soloing on this tune. Who are some of your favorite piano players and what aspects of their playing do you enjoy the most? Sometimes Antonio Jobim is better listening music than Snarky Puppy. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the art as well as your teachings.

That was great. What a cool tune. I used to play that song back in the 70s but I wasn’t really a jazz pianist so I faked it using thirds against a root bass. I had forgotten that the song ever existed until checking out your video. Thanks for showing how the song should be or at least a convincing way that it could be played. More great stuff!

Just for your reference, I find your voice not as loud and clear as before. Changed the microphone?

Thanks for the video !! I can't figure out the "intro" string chords, can you help ? Thanks Kent

Nice tutorial! I've always loved Dorothy Ashby's version of this song. Does the altered dominant ego man ever try to crash the party there around the ol' campfire?

Any songs you could use to demonstrate accompanying a vocalist?

nice look! I have thought what cows do in modal tut?

I remember a different punchline where Tonto's response wasn't so pc😉.

What exactly is the email to write for the score of this version? Thanks!

What is the small snippet intro song before you're on the range? Nice playing btw

You better oil up your six gun Kent.I heard that Johnny Ringo may be headed your way.

Hey Kent.. the sound varies bit too much to my ears.. especially this one. What if you send it to me next time before you send it to the air... in the raw form, and I even it out and clean some noises if any and will see if you like it or not. I can imagine that it might bit overkill for you.. anyway.. if you would like to try it out, let me know I'll be happy to help you with the sound if you want. Thanks for another fruitful video.

So what chords.
