I love that voluntary silences from the pianist, it's rare to see such musical silences

[@danielsobkowiak4101]

Wow....what can I say? I just returned home and turned on KZbin and there, Bye Bye Blackbird - Chris Whiteman Quartet. Great to see and watch everyone getting into it, from start to finish. Chris as always displaying his chops, the Upright walking with the skins to help it move and the keyboard laying it down to deserved applause. Thanks guys! You made my evening begin with great vibes!!!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks Daniel!

Hey Chris, great job. I love your soloing techniques. You really do a nice job with the chord soloing. I use chords so much in my solos. I studied Wes Montgomery's style extensively when I was young so I always loved the fullness of it. I think we`re very lucky to make our living at something so cool!!

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you! And yes, we're lucky to play music for a living!

that line starting at 2:36 - 243 -- superb- ive had to steal it 🙂🙂🤟🤟🫶..sounds like your playing augmented triad and a scale idea (F dom?). .not good on the theory but my ears work 🙂.. keep this coming Chris , superb playing and a far better way to learn jazz guitar IMHO

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thank you Mungo!

[@robertratti9724]

Well done..and who’s the brilliant pianist …so sympathetic…so tasty…such a great use of space…excellent young man…and love your lessons Chris…and kudos to drum ‘n’ bass…🎉

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Many thanks Robert! That is Ayinde Williams on keys. A special player for sure!

[@titosmith7942]

Well played! Lots of stank faces as well. 👍

[@ChrisWhitemanGuitar]

Thanks! 👍

... ♫ but beautiful ♫ :)

[@LydianLunch]

Hold on a minute here: why does everyone look so healthy? Why isn’t the room dim and full of smoke? Why aren’t the drummer’s eyes rolling back in his head? Why isn’t the bass player nodding off with a cigarette dangling from his mouth? Why does the pianist look like this is his side hustle and his main gig is working as a personal trainer to Kylie Jenner? Why does everyone look like they just had a $17 bespoke fresh pressed juice? What is up with jazz in 2024?

[@kenster3554]

Wait, I was seeing everything that you mentioned. I must be jaded! 😅 I also heard an old out of tune upright piano.

[@jackrosendale8367]

Guess they just aren't that committed.
