LESSON SUMMARY
Have you ever noticed that the last chord on many lead sheets isn't the 1-chord? In fact, most jazz tunes in a fake book contain no endings at all. Instead, you'll usually find that the final two chords are the 2-chord and the 5-chord. The ii-V progression at the end is there to take you back to the top of the form to launch into the solo section. So how do land the plane and bring everything to a close? Of course, you could simply end with a 2-5-1 progression. However, endings are frequently a place where jazz musicians like to display some harmonic innovation. Adding unanticipated chord colors to the final cadence grabs the audience's attention. It also helps create a stronger sense of closure. In today's Quick Tip, John Proulx breaks down 7 Beautiful Endings for Jazz Tunes. You'll learn:
-7 beautiful endings for any tune
-Beautiful jazz piano chord voicings
-Final arpeggio techniques
-Music theory analysis supporting each ending

lol thats cool
After all those years of listening to jazz piano I finally know that one of the wonderful sounds at the end of those songs is just a 5-b2-1. Thanks for an excellent lesson!
The content is fabulous; the instructional skill is even better.

Glad you enjoyed it!
You need a Db on beat 3 1st bar to complete C7 b9. I see no way to get there without writting in the b. Thanks very nice
I'm so happy KZread recommend this video. Just subbed with bell on. Thank you so much!!
nice job, John! Beautiful, and well explained! Great to see you bringing your taste and experience to a whole BUNCH of folks! Congrats....
Wow!!! Perfectly!!! Amazing!
Thank you thank you this is what I have being waiting for beautiful big love to you♥️
Thank you for the Video 🎶
I'm working on an essay about my love for jazz and how it has benefitted my physical & mental well-being in unbelievable ways, having this video playing in the background puts my mind to a state of serenity and helps a great deal in coming up with new creative ideas!
Nice changes, thanks for sharing them!
Great job. Thank you very much!!
Very interesting and instructive. Thank you.
So beautiful...
Clean and Clear, Thank you
Love this lesson! Thanks.
Beautiful. Thanks!!
Great lesson!
Thanks شكرا
Great video
Great material John! i m following your detailed subscriber write-ups in piano with jonny. really inspiring! thanks!
That was just fantastic. What a great lesson.
Astounding compendium of expressivity techniques! Great how you describe the scale degrees as well as giving full notation we can read from.
I really enjoyed this and could listen to it for hours! But when I tried it on my keyboard, I realized for the second chord in bar 1 that it is written with a "D", not "D flat" like you play it. The ending chords are gorgeous, though!
Thanks a lot, if I'm not mistaken the fifth example is often called Backdoor
Beautifull!!
Thanx, John and Jonny. Good work, John. 🌹🌹🌹

Brenda thanks for commenting!
Very useful as always. You may sound impressive on your gigs doing that.
amazing 😘
Very cool. I like how I could play all these as fancy versions of The Licc. That last one is definitely easier done than said. :P
Love the sound of those chords!!

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for showing and explaining the various ways to delay the final chord! To help me remember and understand the endings in its simplest form, is the first ending demonstrated in the video played by playing the left hand root note of the second to last chord at a half tone above the root note of the final one chord? The second ending is the application of the first ending, but preceded with a chord with the root note at a 5th interval above the root note of the next to last chord (where we are progressing down the circle of fifths to work towards the final one chord)?
I like it
That last ending is really sweet, with that sequence of seven chords. Be nice, though, if you didn't drop that E on the last chord. Because then it would serve as a 'top pedal tone'; which I think is a really nice effect.
Try the flat 7 major seven (Dflat maj7 up a 4th to Gflat maj7 up another 4th to B up a 4th to Emaj7 to the one!
Excellent lesson, John! Thank you so much for this! There are a couple of small editing errors on the music sheet as displayed in the video and the 2nd one might be slightly confusing. On Example 7, in the penultimate measure, 4th chord - Gbdim7 ... the C in the left hand should have a natural sign in front of it, otherwise it essentially becomes a 2nd inversion B7 chord, which sounds interesting in context, but isn't the chord you intended. :)

Thanks for the correction, Tim
Thanks a million, Jonny, I always find that the left hand is too bold and sounds too much. I would love to know how to play this on a keyboard like the Yamaha Genos ... How would you play such beautiful chord progressions on keyboards that have music styles?
now i just need a piano with a perfect reverb settings!
❤️
Hi Johnny, Dou you ear the piano with native its speakers or use the monitors at side? thanks
anyone knows what is the brand of the chair he's using? its perfect for guitarist/bassist as well.
The intro sounded like "the lick"
could you spell out the voicing you played for the bIImaj7 at 0:41s in the video please? thanks!!
Started with the licc 👀
What happens with Jonny? Sincer months he did not appear.
John Proulx would be a good priest or missionary who plays during mass in a feature film.
Hi, thank you for the experience. So the last Ending from your video is approximately similar to the ending from this audio kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6CFt5qphK6Wn5M.html
