Yet another great video, thanks a lot. @ 1:23 the brushes blew me away. Add a looper and there is the perfect drumset :-) May I suggest a video on your lovely HD&Co piano, like how did you get it, maintain it, etc. Another idea might be a lesson on how you think the pedals of the piano should or might be used.

As a bass player new to jazz, the start of this video was very helpful for me to wrap my head around 2-feel and understand what to expect from other musicians while playing in it - and to get some idea of what cues I can listen to when they try to move to 4-feel. Thank you!

Just a word of encouragement. I watch a lot of tutorial videos and I appreciate that everyone takes a different approach to what and how they teach. Some are more technical, some just play and don't talk. What I appreciate about your videos and that they seem to get to the heart of the music (the groove, the feel). Thanks for rounding out my tutelage. Keep at it.

Summertime by Gershwin is the #1 song ever written, and I have collected all the recorded versions I could ever find during my 6 decades as a music junkie. The best version in my collection is done solo by Duke Ellington on his "Piano In The Foreground" album. He takes Gershwin's uber-genius to another level. And NOW, after seeing your jam at the end, I've elevated you to #2 with a bullet!

Amy, you changed my musical life with this and the Footprints video. Thank you. I have bad rheumatoid in my hands and your arrangements are so inspiring, that i'm pushing myself. Just know you impact people. Thanks. May i be so bold to ask your consideration of "I remember Sky" as a future arrangement and part 2 solo. Ok got to go. You're playing me out and i have to listen.

Thank you, I am a drummer and occasionally play with bassists and pianist who don't get this much needed approach, especially if you are playing a lot of Great American Songbook material that needs this change in feel from two to four to get the right intensity in the right place with no increased effort or increased volume... Great explanation... great feel...

Thanks Aimee, I've just had a tough day and wanted to chill out for a while. Love the way I can mock up the drummer on "2 feel". Summertime is my heart piece. Many thanks.

Reduced me to a mixture of laughter and tears. Laughter because so effortless and so beautiful. Tears because . . .

Just watching this video in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic in full effect. So many things have happened since March, so many deaths of family and friends, a season's worth of gigs cancelled, and thru it all trying to be stoic and optimistic. Your rendition of Summertime moved me SO much, and as you really got into your solo & began scatting, it hit me how much I miss the magic of playing live with my ensemble, how it makes me feel & the effect it has on the audience. I thought about how this year has been anything but an easy-livin' summer. I played the video again and let go of my stoicism until it was over. Thank you for your gift to me. Hope you and your family are safe and sound.

You might be one of the best teachers in the world. Your level of understanding of music and your ability to translate the focus of feeling is remarkable. Can I hire you as a teacher?

Holy s**t those Last minutes were INTENSE! Aimee You are so Good It's unbelievable!

Ill never understand how to play jazz but I'm glad people like yourself are gifted and give us the joy of instruction and entertain at the same time.

Wow - I have always played Summertime in just in a sort of 4 time, although I improvise , your version sounds so much cooler than mine so I can swing into that - brilliant thanks -

I watch all of your vids, and really enjoyed this one. I sat for over an hour just playing the G-minor "2 feel", and then when I rewatched, I was even more blown away at your subtlety and finesse. You're an excellent player and teacher. Please keep them coming.

Such a nice way she conveys her passion for her art / craft. Sensual and soulful!

i'm speechless, best teacher i have ever seen in my life, you definitely know the true essence of music.

I learned more from this 20 min video than from 5 yrs of classical lessons LOL. Thank you, you are a great teacher!

You're a true musician and an inspiration for me! Thank you for all your body of work.

Wow, you are so inspiring! I wish I could just sit and play around like you do and make it sound that beautiful. Thanks!

you know, a lot of talented musicians can't teach what they play, but Aimee can....super cool video....

So your Summer Time , is what I'm teaching myself for the next 30 days. I came home from doing a 8 hour overnight shift the office, screen captured this whole video to my phone and sit in front of my up-right for a hour. In hyper-laps mode captured the whole thing on my phone and posted it on social media platforms. Last year on Xmas eve I had an emotional breakdown at my job, I deal with depression living alone after being homeless and losing a 30 year marriage the depression became alot so I'm using the piano and this Summer Time to help give me distraction and cope. I got as far as the first real change on the left hand. It looks like its about to get hard to follow your fingering but I need this just emotionally, so thank you. I wanted to learn SUMMERTIME due to Prince's live sound check version...it's on KZread if you haven't seen it check it out. I'm really excited about doing this for the next 30 days, not sure this was the best thing for a beginner but I'm gonna keep going...so thank you ,wish me luck.

Your video has inspired me to make my own new version of this great song! I' started today with the first four bars and I will continue tomorrow. I have never had a jazz teacher. Now you are my first one. Thank you so much and also for your enthusiasm in music and teaching it.

I love performing tunes in 2 and bringing the 4 feel in on the B section, it builds a nice energy and even though it's something I use a lot it never sounds boring.

Wow! You play with such feeling, brought tears to my eyes. That's how this song SHOULD be played, especially liked the scat singing at the end.

Aimee you are incredible. Goals.

I just love your lessons! Aimee, you are wonderful, 'cause you inspire me. Thank you for this so much! (I am from Ukraine)

I got an amazing lesson, then had my mind blown by you playing us out. You’re a one-woman trio

thank you very much for this video... the idea of 2feel itself feels so right... and the improvisation in the ending minutes is just so smashingly beautiful that i think i won't dare approach my dillettantish instrument for some time now... maybe i need to subscribe and watch more to get myself back on track there...

1:25 Great vocal brushes. At 17:43 I imagine a Miles Davis w/mute entrance. Beautiful vocal phrasing.

You’re an awesome musician and teacher. Very relaxed! I’m trying to learn from your videos with you being a jazz musician. Vocally I love singing jazz and blues but as a piano player I was taught by an elderly southern baptist church musician so I was taught reading out of hymn books then as I grew I picked up a contemporary style and I play mainly chords and it has a very pop sound.

That’s a good way to begin, Jake. Keep doing what you are doing.

I'm no musician but I love what your talking about and doing . . . and I LOVE "Summertime" . . . I should learn to sing it.

I enjoy what you call "tangents" like "theme from mash". This happens to me a lot. I hear mashups of old songs when learning "new" ones all the time. I enjoy the perspective shifts. Great inspiration for solos too.

I enjoyed that so much! You're such a wonderful musician, Aimee. I can always feel how much you love and respect music whenever you teach and perform.

learned this recently as a jazz beginner, and it has been a success judging from the comments I get when I run into neighbours in the elevator 😂

That 2 feel is such a vibe thank you for this Aimee

Very nice. Hypnotic to hear you play, teach, and sing.

great lesson! Thanks! I would love to see/hear lesson on what you do in the left hand from 05:24 to 06:03 (i.e. how to comp for yourself in 2-feel when soloing). Thanks! Best!

Aimee, words are not enough for you to communicate and you totally mastered using music to communicate further. I can feel the urge you have to play when you're talking. That's absolutely wonderful. Lovely to watch, listen to and feel. Thank you so much! :)

1 _ 3 _ 1 _ 3 _ versus 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 You're playing in 4/4 (with swing), but with a 2 feel you emphasize only 2 beats out of the measure. At least that's what it sounds like she's doing. I hadn't heard the term before myself, but I've heard another Jazz musician talking about emphasizing "1 and 3" versus "2 and 4". It sounds like Aimee is doing a little of both: 1 _ 3 _ _ 2 _ 4.

Aimee, you are amazing! so much grace!
