Chet is the reason I picked up trumpet even though I am a pianist.

Astounding!!

Must be the inspiration for the dueling piano scene in “ What Happened to Roger Rabbit”.

Great introduction to your channel!

Thank you for letting us know about this wonderful musician

Absolutely gold!

Beautiful player! I love her.

Village vanguard is my favorite Bill Evans record. I listen to it every time I make dinner

Good video. As a long time player and teacher it great to hear good improv and see a very clear and natural teaching talent. As you were talking about the reasons for chord subs I thinking that not only do each of the 'big three' have subs but that those subs are picked because of their function in the progression. Each of the 3 chords supply a different level of energy to the progression. I would be interested in your thoughts on picking subs based on the amount of tension and energy.

MIND BLOWING.......FFFFFAAAAANNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTAAAAASSTTTTTIIIIICCCCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hadn't smiled all day-all week, until I heard her. Some people have techniques-some people have it in their bones-some in their hearts, in their soul. she obviously had it all...god this is wonderful! Its a rare human being that can speak through their music, and its even rarer being able to make people happy, lift them up. Thank you Dorothy, beautiful.

I still think the best quote about playing jazz comes from Miles Davis: "First you have to learn all of this stuff, then you have to forget it".

Great video. This is an example of the KISS Method: Keep It Simple, Stupid! This works not just for music, but many other applications in the arts and crafts, and in the daily workplace and anywhere you need to solve problems and get results.

Interesting commentary, Thanks for sharing!

I agree with you as an amateur guitar player!

Super! Danke!

Love this answers some questions I have never really understood, thank you

Reminds me of Jon Batiste our present piano virtuoso. What a great find 👍

Hey Chase, just found your channel. Wonderful work you're doing, been binge-ing on your mini documentaries. Sending love from sunny Singapore!

I never cared much for moonlit skies I never wink back at fireflies But Major seven, Dorian Minor, Dominant seven? I'm beginning to see the light

you right... to me on the guitar its actually easier to visualize the arpeggio shape above the chord shape as if you had double vision

Now this is understandable. I have suspected this, since when I think I'm playing wrong notes it sometimes sounds ok. Also nice glasses.

The way you simplify jazz is inspiring. Just purchased jazz tactics!

Hello. Thanks for the great lesson. I have a question: I have a very cheap trumpet and I can't play higher than the first octave, is it my fault or the trumpet is too cheap?

This video is a continuation from two previous videos--the links are in the description. Questions and comments are welcome and encouraged--I read and try to respond to all of them. What else would you like to see in this series?

Amazing

A truly wonderful player

Love This She's Got That..♥️

The best advice in music history-“your scoreboard is erased every thirty seconds”-Maynard. I love classical music, including classical brass players like Hakan Hardenberger and Tine Thing Helseth, but it seems silly that in that world you’re expected to be pretty much perfect all the time.

You're right, I've never heard of Dorothy Donegan. I've loved Winnie Atwell, Mrs. Mills, Frank Mills, Russ Conway & the great Nicky Hopkins for years. I can now add Dorothy to my list of great piano players. Thanks for the 'heads up'.

TECHNICALLY the greatest. Personally I prefer several other pianists....

This music gives me more soulrest then modern jazz.

Wow!❤❤❤❤❤

what an amazing pianist! Why oh why have we not heard her before this: thanks for introducing us to this talented lady.

Boy she lit up that Newport stage... I wish I was born for that performance

Sagenhaft gut, ich kannte sie bisher gar nicht.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Absolutely Fabulous Lady… I bet she was a Hoot to hang out with.❤️

You really nail it. Thank you!

Man oh man she cooked on them ivories. I'm so glad I've got a chance to hear her. Thanks.

Needs statue on 52nd st

הזמרת הכי נפלאה דיינה וושינגטון 😮❤

I am perturbed by the photo used at 0.49. Is this really Carmen McRae? I doubt it even though it appears to have been used on a Record Cover!

I'm an improv bluegrass player (a little bit of jazz, not including the jazz naturally embedded in bluegrass), and this all maps to my journey 100%. All the structures, all the theory, all of this is potentially useful, especially in getting my brain to recognize comprehensible input when it happens later down the line, but by far the big big problems to solve are: 1. What's it SOUND like in physical reality 2. How do my hands produce those sounds in physical reality ear->hands->ear, the rest is (sometimes helpful) paperwork

I tend to subscribe to what Satchmo said so many decades ago…..and I quote “if you have to have Jazz explained to you…..you’ll never know….”

She was born too early. She's be a star today.

We are almost the same age Mr. Chase…. I’ve also been playing more than fifty years. Not unlike the musings of the late, great Jack Sheldon, I’m still looking forward to the day when I will get as good as I want to be! My first steps in Jazz occurred at age thirteen, playing second trumpet in my dad’s dance band. That small band was. Wonderful collection of guys born in the late 19teens…..who came of age in the glorious heydays of Jazz in the 1930’s. I’d always been curious how they could weave their way almost effortlessly through the gorgeous ballads of that era, and knew I wanted to learn this music. My first introduction to Jazz improvisation occurred one night on a gig when the lead tenor saxophonist, whom we referred to as “Pappy”, who after playing a beautifully constructed solo on some blues tune, turned around and said “you got it kid!” “Wait, what? Got what? How did I catch it? How do I get rid of it??” LOL! At break, he and the pianist, another incredible player who knew every tune ever written to that time, sat down next to me, obviously feeling my dejection at having dropped an atom bomb on a simple progression and started giving my advice. They told me if I wanted to play Jazz, I needed to listen, listen and listen some more to good Jazz players…..then learn everything you can about your horn. Then get together with your friends and jam….haha….not quite an accurate piece of advice in the 1970’s when all of my friends were listening to Kid Death and the Screamers. Lastly, seek out and play with guys who are better than you…..and copy their licks. My point being… I eventually have become a decent Jazz player….some would say very good, which humbles me. I too spent much of my career in education, performing itinerant gigs in my little portion of the world. I still listen EVERY DAY to a different Jazz album….everything from traditional New Orleans Jazz to Miles to Wynton and everyone in between. I still believe listening (and transcribing as you so wisely advise) are the keys to becoming a skilled Jazz player. But you also have to immerse yourself and have a fundamental love of that genre. I’m always amazed at classical players, who possess virtually every tool to play Jazz, yet couldn’t swing if you hung them.

Absolutely perfect response to an inane comment!

People do not understand... This guy, turned the entire pianosphere on it head. No matter what type of music you played, If you were a pianist, you feared this guy. There has not been another pianist since him to have this kind of effect on the entire piano world. Not even Oscar Peterson had this kind of effect.

Hey Chase. Would love to join but ended up committing to a temp Full time position at Cal State Channel Island and also, I would not consider myself more than an lower esclelnon intermediate so probably not good enough to play with others beyond that. I would, however be very interested in attending next year. Will any of the days/sessions be recorded? Thank you
