I have many friends who play jazz and I am always amazed at how they learn their music. Not all of them anyway, but they can just go to some places where their ‘teachers’ play and they just watch and listen for hours. They then try to catch it without talking or saying any word and go back home to practice.
If you are those kind of student, then this video should be able to give you something to chew. Misty is one of my favorite standard jazz piece and I really like the way it is played in this video. I only watched it a few times and I think I’ve learnt something already.
Doug McKenzie is the guy who produced this video. This is a ‘trio’ version of the ballad ‘Misty’ – with lots of extra information helpful to jazz piano students. You can also see more of his lessons at his site at http://web.newsguy.com/dougmck
There is a much clearer copy of the video for download, as well as a transcription, the midi file recored with the video, and an MP3 file of the bass and brushes backing he recorded separately. Check out his site.
