Hearing Your Way Through Difficult Changes (Have You Met Miss Jones)

[@landajimmy]

Im a guitarist and ALWAYS sing my lines. It has unlocked my improvising capabilities and taken them to the next level. We are playing this song in combo this semester. Great video. Youve inspired me 🤟

[@Kellymusicworks]

Solid. Thank you for making learning improv fun and not dry, arduous. Your joy and excitement in creation are real and that shines through. You are a beacon of musical improvisation.

[@AimeeNolte]

Every bop player is required to complete a minimal 4-hour Miss Jones marathon annually. It's in the by-laws. Piano players especially should check out the Ray Brown/Gene Harris version, probably the rockinest version on YT.

[@eltacrash]

I can not stop being surprised with your videos. Very helpful.

[@AimeeNolte]

Tácrash 🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@TheRmoroni]

one of the best teachers on you tube (or anywhere!)

[@monsieurbrochant7528]

I've been looking for this kind of tuition for YEARS! Thank you so much!

[@AimeeNolte]

Hugo Gengo so glad. :)

[@ZincShed]

Thanks Aimee, I will spend some time working on this. It is a song I have played live by just plodding through the chord chart and not really understanding what was happening. You have shed new light on the piece and your point and sing has me hooked.

[@AimeeNolte]

ZincShed oh wonderful!

Aloha, my name is Keao Costa, a musician from Honolulu. I have been following your KZbin for a couple of weeks now. And... I am in heaven, in HEAVEN.. Your tutorials can be used as great tools if viewers know how to apply them to their own craftiness. For me, I am just a simple Simon, who is self taught, really, using the advice I pick up here and there in Hawaiis music scene and now KZbin. I've been playing the upright bass for years and I sing what we call, Hawaiian Falsetto.. Finding myself with too much free time lately and kinda feel unmotivated. So I. thought that maybe taking up another instrument would be a fun way to challenge myself and be more versatile. So piano it is and I am stoked! And oh, your walking bass lines posts are awesome too btw.. helps with my playing. But I have just one concern. If I have to play bass at my gig it's gotta come with me.. And it's a task! How do you carry that big a** piano to work? or do they already have one at your gigs? Smh jk. Thank you, for your many videos they're fun, rather entertaining entertaining from a music geeks POV and they show your personality and love for music .. They played an instrumental part in bringing me to my decision! Well done! And.. Mahalo. Keao Costa...

[@ianpeden2906]

I've been working on the B section for absolutely ages until I now feel confident to play it. This is really great to use and develop for impro. Thanks!!!

[@AimeeNolte]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ianpeden2906]

Thanks Aimee, I've been working on that mid section at all times of the day and night!

[@artistascanaloficial6570]

Extraordinary. You voice and instruction

[@ChristopherMilnevcm]

Really useful information. I am pinning this tab in my browser for revisiting this evening. Thank you.

[@sp4gsus]

This reminds me of a story I once read where a poor kid plays basketball his whole childhood using a bucket that is smaller than a standard hoop because that's all he has. So when he finally plays for a college team he hardly ever misses because he trained himself for so long to shoot for a much smaller target. Practicing to improv through the changes without hearing the accompaniment makes playing through them with the chords so much easier! Thanks for the tip!

[@AimeeNolte]

+sam powell yes!

[@mbmillermo]

You are an amazing talent, Aimee. This reminds me to work in singing and ear training. It is so important for all improvisational musicians. I should be able to sing any interval from memory, and I should be able to play anything I sing. I have noticed that a lot of the great players sing to themselves while they are playing, but they aren't using a microphone so we can't hear them much.

[@AimeeNolte]

Mike Miller that's right! I have some videos about this. "Play what you hear: the myth" and the "point and sing" one too!

[@gil-evens]

9:38 I lost myself halfway through so I just watched/listened your fingers moving on the keyboard and it was really pleasant, kind of ASMRish lol. Anyway, great video and awesome jamming in the intro.

[@davidmas3900]

I love You're presentations!

[@Count1o]

great video! love your channel! I'm a guitarist and through your video i got curious about this standard thank you very much :) !

[@AimeeNolte]

Count1o wonderful! Thanks.

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Great lesson I have been watching your video's trying to train my ears to chord changes if only I could play this on my Guitar ,Thanks for the lessons

[@manuelpino3722]

What a great channel! thanks for all this great information... I'll be slowly going through your videos. All the best

[@AimeeNolte]

Manuel Pino awesome. Thank you!

[@JaysonT1]

Jazz drumming is so awesome.

[@evapettersson3933]

This is great! I'm not a singer but it is good ear training and most of all for me it gives me soloing ideas. Need more of that. You probably done videos on soloing ideas for some tunes. Maybe one day you do that for On Green Dolphin Street or any jazz tune you like. You are the best teacher ever!! With big Gratitude from me

[@AimeeNolte]

Eva Pettersson yes yes...soon! Thanks Eva

[@LarrySiden]

wow, Aimee! You just have me an idea that will save my head from exploding next tine I try to play over Giant Steps.

[@AimeeNolte]

Lawrence Siden awesome

[@ZvikaDror]

so important! thanks

[@brendanhannigan5561]

Surprised no one said this yet, but the "famous bebop tune" you mention at 5:52 is Bouncing with Bud :)

[@BMarPiano]

You're right; it IS hard! Just spent a half hour trying to scat through the changes and do well until that blasted abm7 chord and then I lose it :-) But I was practicing away from the piano. Will point and sing later. Great tutorial. Gonna work on it till I nail it! Thanks! :-D

[@AimeeNolte]

Brenda Martin suuuuper hard. Good luck!

[@ClaudioPallone]

Hi Aimee. Thanks for the tutorial. Can you please provide the written solo? or maybe show us the lines?

[@AimeeNolte]

It is available on my website under “shop”

[@mfreeman313]

I used to play with a bass player who considered this a tough tune but I never minded it much, although I knew why he felt that way, because I *loved* it. So maybe in addition to whatever training like this video offers, you should pick tough tunes you absolutely love so that the light comes on sooner? Obviously if you really like the tune there's something about the changes that speak to you. Just a thought.

[@SanjaMarkovic]

This is so good. Thank you.

[@ramoncoromotorodriguez7186]

muy bueno ,como tod lo que haces ,,,re admiro

[@pedrolako9]

Yes!❤

[@bassisthenrik]

Excellence!!

[@molateloramovha9089]

I LIKE THAT..

[@dandiacal]

In a way it is the perfect song for studying tonality in general: a lot of foundations in it, that big moment in so many thousands of standards where it goes to the IV for example...

[@AimeeNolte]

m hampton yes!

[@SanjaMarkovic]

Hahaha... You had me shrieking like a cat in heat from minute 16. :))))

[@AimeeNolte]

Sanja Markovic mission accomplished. Lol

[@sitarnut]

Hi Amiee... have been watching a long time. Here are The Hi-Lo's with Dani Crayne on "Miss Jones"... thought you might dig it...kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppOylH95bKpqqsU their harmonies are the result of Gene Puerling, the guy on the left, a genius, who later wrote the vocal arrangements and performed in, "Singers Unlimited" the legendary vocal group. Here's SU in another favorite jazz classic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJfIoHaCZp2BqJY So happy you're sharing your knowledge with us all.

[@AimeeNolte]

I’m well-aware of The HiLos, SU, and Mr. Puerling’s genius. ;) Great track! Thanks for showing me!
