The Jimmy Raney Book: An Introduction

My interpretation of the Bill Evans classic. Still working on it! (For those of you who saw it before and commented my apologies for removing it! Had some issues and editing in any meaningful way is not really possible)

Keyboard Workshop: Very Early

In the spirit of "Workshop", I present this little unfinished woodshed ditty I was working a while back on Bill Evans' classic "Periscope". So here's the thing, it's deceptively hard. Yes, it's in C but that's precisely the reason I find it hard. It's a "sea of C" so to speak and ALOT of repeated turnarounds on II-V & III-VI.

In other words, I find it easy to miss in C because they are similar white keys. At least with flats, you have some black key "guardrails". And with the constantly repeated turnarounds, you have to find something interesting and different while maintaining consistency. :)

I record for fun on my Yamaha P115 on some of my Fav Jazz Standards.
This one is in the standard key of Eb. Was trying to press for some different elements: Changed harmony on the opening chord and some Bud Powell-like rising II-V chord substitutions in the middle. Enjoy!

Keyboard Workshop: Misty

I record for fun on my Yamaha P115 on some of my Fav Jazz Standards.
This one is in the standard key of Eb. You might find some of my Shearing influences on this one.
Enjoy!

Keyboard Workshop: STAR EYES

I record for fun on my Yamaha P115 on some of my Fav Jazz Standards.
On this one I tried to both choose an odd key and some more challenging harmonies.
Enjoy!

Keyboard Workshop: My One and Only love

I record for fun on my Yamaha P115 on some of my Fav Jazz Standards. This one is sort of a double homage to Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett who inspired this.
Enjoy!

Keyboard Workshop: Danny Boy
