Oof! I am a bass player and I have done a standard bossa line every time I've done this tune. Nobody complained so maybe they didn't know either...
Like that a lot. Trying to get my head around this tune on guitar! Gmin6 chords should work ??

As a bassist I like when tunes require you to do one thing only. It really forces you to lock in to holding the group together. I like to think that I do that when I walk too but when you aren't busy choosing notes or rhythms the only thing left is groove- and usually I feel like I am more connected to it in tunes likes this.
Great point. A "groove" is all about repetition of course. And not just "phoning it in repetition," but FOR REAL repetition. Glad you understand this!!

The opening of Horace's solo on this reminds me of the opening of his solo on song for my father
Thank you for this video. It enriches my appreciation of this tune.

Drums!
The "crunchy" harmony is in thirds, just like the rest...
Actually no. Those are whole steps. Db and Eb against an Eb7 chord. Check it out! A great and unexpected sound.
@@JeffAntoniukEducator Ah ha...I stand corrected (after playing this for 40 years!). Here is one of the best versions I think that shows how Horace develops solo ideas. He has a lot more technique than usually comes through in his melodic and percussive solos: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHqez7mCXceclJc.html
Thanks Jeff 🙏🏼💕
I've listened to this song for more than 45 years and it still thrills me every time I hear it. Thanks for the reminder.
Nice!!
Love Stanley thank you !
just great
This is really good- I'm eating dinner but I feel like I just practiced.
Haha!! That is great. Invite me to dinner next time and we can REALLY cover some cool stuff! 😂
These videos are so great. I'm pretty new to jazz and I feel like I learn so much about it when I watch them, because sometimes it's hard to know what to pay attention to. Everytime I watch one of your guided listening videos I finish having a lot of admiration to the recording/song/artist in question.

EXCELENTE CLASE.
From Argentina, Thank you for yours videos.
Yo I love your guided lessons and would love one on so what or one of the tunes from kind of blue
Thanks for the kind note, and please subscribe if you haven't yet. You know, I've done Guided Listening videos on all or almost all of the tunes from Kind Of Blue. Just look back through the last couple years of videos on my channel and you'll find them. Hope you enjoy!
@@JeffAntoniukEducator yeah just subscribed! I’ve seen your Stella by starlight and all blues which was cool
Oh and blue in green and flamenco sketches lol
Love your lessons Thanks for all

That was a serious band. That whole album is great. Thus tune is amazing. The theme/melody uplifting but the inprovisations take it in all directions. Kind of like the titke of the song. Life can get a bit crazy but as long as your livin yours!
Clarity coupled with simplicity plus demonstration. Doesn’t get better than that! Cheers.
Thanks, and so happy you enjoyed this.
Bebop all the way!
Brilliant. Thank you for expanding my mind and ears today!
So happy that you enjoyed this Tim. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet. MUCH more good stuff coming.
Came to the right moment. Thanks for sharing.
I never got to learn jazz in high school and in college i was mostly ignored because i was so far behind. This kind of video/guided listening is something I've always wanted.
Thanks Jeff 🙏🏼💕
I am well-versed in the great American songbook but know very few bop tunes.
Your best presentation to date
Play every song in every key.
Great Jeff! And the vans are back?!
Haha! You noticed!!
What have I got in common with Coltrane and Miles? I make mistakes too. Well I have to start somewhere!
Hello, maybe the bvi7 in minor blues like Ab7 in Equinox can also be considered as a tritone sub to the ii, right?
Absolutely! That chord gets used in minor blues all the time. A perfect example!
I can’t believe this is a real KZread video. Thank you 🙏
I am so happy that you found this! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
I'm a jazz school drop out and I like this song.

Maetzel wind up metronome goes ting tick tick tick!
Inspiring lesson, Jeff! I bought the Weiskoff book on triad pairs and was sort of itimidated by its apparent difficulty but years hv passed n weve learned a bit more n im ready for this. A piano nearby helps a lot to put some accompaniment to the pairs. You mentioned intervals, sticking some compatible triads in fourths down in the left hand w the triad pairs moving in the right can produce some very unusual and beautiful sounds. A good example of the use of triad pairs in a solo is Oliver Nelsons in Stolen Moments. You are doing great work educating us in jazz! Many thanks!
I'm so happy that you are enjoying these videos! Please subscribe if you haven't yet. And yes, "books" are just not the way to learn this stuff, sad to say. I love Walt and his information is GREAT, but the medium of books just isn't the way to get traction. There is MUCH more good stuff coming.

Great lesson, Jeff! 👍
So great lesson!

From the backboard!! Great lesson Jeff 🙏 ⛹🏻🔥🔥🔥 🎷
Thanks brother!!
And it's John Taylor on piano, not Mark Taylor.
One of my favorite albums! I did "Double, Double You" on my graduate recital!
Great video. I really enjoy the alternate take of this track in particular
This was a great video!
SO happy you enjoyed this. Please subscribe if you haven't already. Much more great stuff coming!!
Wayne shorter was crazy den!!!
Thx for posting Jeff! We had a blast, didn't we?
No doubt. Such fun music to play, and what a great band! Great composition, Alan.
Thanks for sharing this! It was great having you on this concert and you killed it as usual. Hope we get to do it again soon!
Alan, thanks so much for having me on the gig. I'm excited to do this music with you more for sure!!
Beautiful music and playing! Question- Jeff, were you using a cane o or synthetic? (My feeling is it was a cane ) Cheers! Marcos
Yes, I've been back to using cane for the past year. Thanks for listening!!
Cool - Gamelan bonang!
Thanks for listening!! And yes, Indonesian Gamelan played by a Brazilian guy on an American stage next to a Canadian guy. Modern life.
Coltrane's version has a melancholic beauty, a poignancy, so I resist what Lovano does with the mood here. I love Lovano, the big soul, the stories he tells. No one else does it quite like him, his lines are like no other: Coltrane with Dewey Redman at the wheel, lines that curl around the harmony loosely like shapes and colors, and then tightly, and always with a feel.
Nice one Jeff it’s the resolution that makes it ….makes a lot of sense thanks 👍
Great point Stephen - it's ALWAYS about the resolution. Frankly, ANYthing can work, if you can sell the listener on the resolution!!
Berlioz? I’ll have to reevaluate his music.
Whaaaaaaat????
RIGHT!!?? I'll tritone sub anything that moves, so maybe you'll want to proceed with caution. 😂
