Which one was your favorite?! Mine is 8 😀

Goddamn this is essentially a master class in jazz soloing

When I was in college, I’d leave my piano class and go to the practice rooms with my sax. Then my student teacher from my piano class would come into the practice room building and play something insane like you just did here and make me question my whole existence hahahahha. The practice rooms were the most discouraging times of my college life and I’m sad I had such a defeatist attitude then. But you know… the stress of college and all and no real understanding of how to channel that energy. But now, it’s encouraging and exciting to listen to!! Much appreciated ✊🏿 🎷

Amazing compact lesson! Pretty sure we can use these tips for any tune, not just Giant Steps.

Articulation is so clean. Never hear a banged note from you.

[Muzikalani]

Wow, I love the part at 2:35! Good dynamics

[mattflumerfelt]

Jesus Jimin. You knocked it out of the park!🙏💖

Wow this is great! I have an audition in a few days and i am going to perform this piece. This video really helped me solo over Giant Steps

Improvisation right from the top drawer.

[James-iolj]

Was expecting a bit more tutoring but proved it can be done. 8 and 4 my favourites

[asapvarg]

Your skill is off the charts, amazing!

[rogergreaves]

Mesmerising playing in all! My favourite, number 10. Great video as always. Much appreciated!!! 🎹🎶🙂

[pavelkratochvila]

Good morning Dorothy from Chicago. I’ll have to go with number 9! I look forward to your videos and can’t wait for the next one. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

No!!!! That's my least! 1-5 because they're more emotional. But you're a genius. Finding a common note between chords and finding a melody - I think I worked that out after years but NEVER heard it explicitly

[alwoo]

I'm a bassist, and I love your playing 😊
