🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHY DOES THIS ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE

It can be hard to explain when someone isn't necessarily "good" at an instrument in the expected way, but is still talented and has an ear for what sounds good. You did a great job of that here, especially at 11:45 and on. Sometimes there are people who aren't actually, technically skilled at something, but the way they found ability to do it is pleasing to the ear. It's not for everyone, and it won't be featured in any greatest hits, but it has merit. And you can tell they put their all into it. That's what I appreciate about Jeff's performances - this dude just loves Jazz and he's found a way to express that at the piano in a way that's unique to him, that others enjoy beyond the novelty of seeing an actor play music. My entire musical family disagrees with me and I know why, but an example I go back to is Russell Crowe as Javert in Les Misérables. Crowe is not a good singer - no projection, muddied, quiet, tonally narrow. But he's my favorite Javert, because his voice fits the tortured character best, in my mind. Anyway I'm rambling but tl;dr, sometimes being highly skilled at something sounds worse than someone who can only perform at a basic level.

I'm far from a jazz expert and not much of a musician, but it also seems (at least from the clips presented here) like he's very good at using playing dynamics and pushing and dragging time in a way that works really well with both the piece being performed and the rest of the band he's playing it with. It's subtler than flashy technical playing, but it's an important skill in itself and one that takes a lot of effort to learn to do well!

Music is an art, not a sport. It is supposed to convey emotion, something sublime - not skill or perfection.

You want to laugh at Jeff’s face but then you realize he’s searching for and feeling notes and realize that his connection to the music is deeply emotional, physical and almost intimate. I feel a little guilty watching him in his moment. Just sayin’

@AllanEdwin

This comment resonates with me. He's not looking away from the band per se. He's turning his ear toward them and focusing on what he is hearing, not seeing. In both clips Charles uses, he's not really looking at the audience or the camera. His eyes are defocused, because his mind is poised towards his connection with the other musicians and what they are all doing together. Emotional, physical, and intimate indeed.

Your autopilot version is what most improvisational jazz sounds like to my untrained ear.

Hah, the only time Jeff played arpeggios he kinda stumbled over them. Clearly not a chops-y musician, but a legit musician nonetheless for the reasons Charles elucidates here. That's fine - uniqueness is more important than speed. Jimi Hendrix wasn't Al Dimeola, and that spoke well for Jimi. He was one of the best musicians to play what he heard. "Little Wing" is unlike anything else that has ever been written. It's a guitar composition, brimming with emotion.

I know this is two years old but I have to say this is the best vid I've seen about Jeff's playing because you used Canteloupe Island as the example. I had not see that one before. He just nailed it with his chord voicings and perfect timing, he's really grooving. I find myself listening to his version over and over. I've seen Herbie and other monsters just smoke this tune and of course Jeff isn't trying to compete with that but what he's doing here is really good. And, he knows how to work the crowd as well as anybody. Something you may be able to find, there is an old episode of Law and Order where his detective character is chasing down a murderer who is a wannabe keyboard rockstar who killed a rival. Jeff and his partner goes to the club he's performing at and when the kid takes a break walks up on stage, the kid says "what are you doing?" Jeff ignores him and proceeds to play a great blues riff on the his digital stage setup with that big flashy ending we all like to do on Georgia and he really nailed it. He gets the same amount of applause the kid got and Jeff jumps off the stage, goes over to him and says "And I'm just a cop" just to get into his head a little. Beautiful moment. Jeff's got more chops than he's showing here.

Randomly browsing/procrastinating and you've made a fan of me with this video! I love this lighthearted reaction to Jeff Goldblum the jazz pianist and how you find a way to segue into what makes music so meaningful and infectious! Your vulnerability is not taken for granted. Thank you!

I've seen his show in LA at the Dresden Room, it's fantastic. I wouldn't call it a serious jazz show as much I would a jazz inspired show tune/standards romp that is part comedy. It's ok if he's not blowing you away with intricate counterpoint, he makes up for it with his charm, wit and stage presence. Its well worth seeing should anyone ever get a chance.

He is so funny to watch and fits his personality, no wonder people "love it or hate it". You are so right, fewer notes, strong insight to feeling around the chords and funny faces is Jeff!

If you check out the scene in the beginning of The Fly where he briefly sits down at the piano, I think that shows he's got some formidable technique at his disposal.

Wait, Jeff Goldblum is a Jazz Pianist? Jeff Goldblum: Always have been

"Oh, you have no idea what you're doing, huh?" *steven seagal intensifies*

In drumming we call those patterns of automata "rudiments", and your drumming personality and style is the set of rudiments that you keep returning to, that gels with you and the music you play. I also use this in medieval sword fighting.

Charles you're the best! Thank you for all your master classes!

Your optimism is so contagious and your videos seem to come out when I need to see them most. Was in a bad spot this morning. Feel much better now.

I mean that fact he is playing along with 2 other musicians shows he has skill, regardless of how his playing sounds, to be in time and musically work in with the other members takes lots of rehearsal and practice. Props to him.

YES! Great convo. I hope hope this is where we can go in future!

as a new participant on the keys it's relieving to see the Freakout is something that very talented people still experience

Jeff is an absolute legend, that is all. Everything he touches, turns to golden perfection

I love the amount of space he leaves. He lets the phrases breathe and really listens.

It's the notes he *doesn't* play

Charles, with your playing, more notes always equals better. Sounds like heaven when you play those lines

I love how you're humming along with what you're playing while off auto pilot!

Dude, Charles you should totally break down Miranda Cosgrove's classic "Sparks Fly"

His playing is so saucy. He adds to the band but by himself he wouldn’t be as good.

maybe in these particular examples that’s his goal because he’s a good pianist? no snark btw i just feel like a man with his years of experience probably knows the difference between comping and playing a solo piece

@danieljohnsopardenilla997

3 жыл бұрын

That's because comping is different with soloing. Without the band, yes the piano track alone wouldn't sound as good/complete. But again, comping is different with soloing, so if he were to solo the same tune, he wouldn't play it like that.

Not really true, because everyoens tastes are different. Like like one guy who cut off his ear could be seen as crazy but to himself hes very cool so like

I think hes really good! It's so interesting to watch and hear him play. He looks like he genuinely enjoys himself which is always a good thing! Also I love your videos. They feed my musical self since I was a former music student and studied a little bit of jazz. I forgot how much I liked it. Been years. Thanks man. I love your content.

I saw the man perform live in Boston and he definitely knows how to entertain! Excellent stuff!

Apparently he became an actor to support a career in music (not the other way around). He said that in a live performance once.

He came to my school a few year ago before I attended (High school for the preforming and visual arts) he did like a jazz master class. The seniors to this day talk about it, sounds pretty cool

12:17 - Do it purely out of passion without the concern of becoming the best at it. I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Jeff Goldblum is one of the most handsome, sexy men to have ever graced planet earth. My boyfriend has given me the Goldblum pass, just waiting for Jeff to cash the ticket.

Ok, apart from the surprising fact that one of my fav actors is a rather respectable piano player (+ me not knowing it), the part about the autopilot was just such an eye-opener to me! Thanks for sharing!

Jeff's playing is relaxing and impressive.

Jeff Goldblum would probably agree

His face is the visual representation of how I feel during job interviews... his chords are my answers

I love your bass there in the background, it reminds me of the first bass I ever played; 1974 Fender Precision, blonde maple body and fretboard, it even still had the chrome pickup guard.
