Art Blakey - Moanin' (Synthesia Piano Tutorial with hands)

[@Roh0io]

I need a glass of wine now

[@dr_ludwing2556]

Same

[@ChadHandler]

Sorry but I have to correct you on that. You need some whiskey right now

[@joyboi5509]

It should be illegal to have this good a transcription and No sheets 😢 man is tearing this shit up 😊

[@동영-m2h]

You can find the sheets in musescore!

[@derpseal7124]

my favorite part is at 1:00 to me it just sounds so clean, and so simplistic but in a way it highlights the meaning of hardbop jazz

[@esmebrito1613]

This guy is so underrated Btw this the best version

[@Car1yIn]

This is actually insane, I was about to start looking for Blakey’s version everywhere but found this and I’m so psyched to try and learn it. Though after like 2:22 I’m kinda scared, but I mean, I’ll give it my best. Though you played it amazingly, like holy I need to sit down or something. Really well done 👌👌

[@SynthesiaComposer]

Thank you! The left hand jumps are definitely tricky, but they're also not actually in the original. I only added them to "fill out" more, which the band takes care of in the original. If you want to, you could just continue playing with your left hand like previously, although the dynamic switch wouldn't be as extreme as it is in my video. Alternatively, octaves aren't necessary for the bass notes. I just added them to, once again, increase the range in dynamics. Although if you are interested in playing more jazz, stride is a definitive "must learn"! This piece might be good practice for that.

[@Dr_Gonzo_]

Actually is Bobby Timmons version, we also Co-wrote the song...

[@evgenidzhurkov4883]

The most accurate version! I am learning it right now and it's so satisfying to play it!

[@PianoJams]

This is insane! Great job on transcribing and playing this classic.

[@danielj.zubiagonzalez3502]

I listen to this almost every day

[@juangabrielcabardo21]

I listen to it everytime single Day!

[@diplamatikjuan3595]

Man, I love the additional harmony you added at the 2:07 section. I've been struggling trying to adapt Moanin for solo piano as you normally really feel the absence of the rest of the trio, and I try to stay away from stride with this as I feel it detracts from the cool sound somehow. Great job, thank you sir - I shall steal from it at will

[@fellock]

Oh man, I love that arrangement!

[@valorantsucks60]

Where did this guy go? He hasn’t posted in 3 years and he’s really talented

[@charlesthomas5956]

Rousseau has been going through some tough circumstances. This guy might be in a similar spot.

[@faisalnaveed8026]

Best version i have heard so face! This guy is so underrated

[@fionnsexton9023]

Came because I am basically a day one, lesson zero beginner and a lover of jazz. I've listened to this a half dozen times today out of sheer jazzy enjoyment 😅

[@itsRemco]

Your uploads are good and high quality too. Nice man!

[@museonthecoffee]

OMG! This has to be the BEST piano solo version! Love the arrangement and love your channel.

Bobby Timmons solo on moanin’ great job man !! Btw. He also wrote the song ;)

[@lafiltre_ada]

Very nice

[@johnnysunset2740]

From 2:50 is purly badass sound :O respect. Synthesia Composer do you think it is playable from start-1:30 -> 2:34-end without that gap? I would like to skip it.

[@SynthesiaComposer]

It should work as long as the chord progression stays the same. It's jazz so really you can play around with melodies and add your own licks, as long as the song's basic structure remains unaltered.

[@johnnysunset2740]

@@SynthesiaComposer Thanks for response, I will try this extremely catchy groove. :3

Now that’s what I call music.

[@MrPabgon]

Umm... Holy shit I mean wow, amazing. I know the main part (intro, melody and then what is in the original the outro too), but now I'll attempt to learn the solo with this (thanks for that!), although those jumps with the left hand at the end it's scary heh

Such an amazing video, but what happened at 2:41?

[@SynthesiaComposer]

I missed the notes! The same thing happens at 2:58. But I was still satisfied with the take so I just decided to edit out the wrong notes from the MIDI file. You're the first one to notice so it seems to be a very minor detail!

[@jonashuijs9760]

@@SynthesiaComposer I would be satisfied too with such a performance! Once I've mastered the piano more I'll try this myself hahah

awesome. wish there was slow and pause version

On the desktop version of KZbin (and some apps) you can actually slow down the videos. So I didn't really feel the need to upload it with a different speed.

[@cm9756]

I see

[@pianospiel1770]

I really love your channel! I have a suggestion (If you want to or have time) can you please do Chopin's Etude op. 10 no. 5 "Black Keys"? That would be awesome if you could! : )

[@SynthesiaComposer]

Maybe far in the future, I don't have any Chopin pieces planned right now. If I'd do one of his etudes it would probably be Op.10 No. 4!

[@pianospiel1770]

Ok thanks! That would be a great one to do as well! : )

You mean Bobby Timmons?

Art Blakey is the composer and bandleader so that's who I'd credit.

[@turinhorse00]

@@SynthesiaComposer No Bobby Timmons is the composer and pianist on the recording. Art Blakey is the band leader but the music was composed by Timmons

[@SynthesiaComposer]

@@turinhorse00 In jazz the title usually credits the bandleader/soloist. Take "Autumn Leaves" for example, how many covers actually say "Joseph Kosma - Autumn Leaves"? Almost none it seems.

[@turinhorse00]

@@SynthesiaComposer autumn leaves is different. It’s an old standard and it’s never been played by Kosma at least if it has its not a very known recording and even so it’s always credited to him. This is a composition of one of the band members and they presented it as such when they played it. Take any other composition by a more modern artist that’s been covered over and over. Chick Corea’s Spain... never introduced any other way. Straight, no Chaser is presented as “by Thelonious Monk” any time it’s played. There’s a difference between saying “played by Art Blakey” or “recorded by Art Blakey” and “by Art Blakey”

[@uncleshark1103]

This is SO good! Please do Herbie Hancock's original version of Cantaloupe Island.

[@SynthesiaComposer]

I actually have jammed on it many times! I think if I did it, it would be my own version of it though. Herbie has so many great live solos of that song, and I'd hate to concentrate on a single one.
