Dave Brubeck - Take Five (Piano Cover)

This whole piece is very impressive but what strikes me is the almost PERFECT rhythm. So many great piano players struggle to keep a perfect rhythm but this guy nails it and it makes his playing so much more enjoyable to listen to.

[@parzingtheasian]

to be fair, take five is a very stable rhythm

[@davismorgan99]

@@parzingtheasianmost piano pieces are. I’m saying that it’s impressive that his runs are all perfectly in time. This guy’s internal metronome is near perfect while so many other great piano players struggle to keep that drum like precision in their sixteenths and triplets.

[@WoodyGamesUK]

I think the way he plays it is far from having a constant tempo (in the sense that a metronome would), but it's not trying to. It speeds up a lot, but great jazz (or even rock) performances played by humans often do vary tempo a lot, however what matters is how it feels in the continuity, and the groove is perfect.

Youve sparked my interest in piano again. When i began learning piano, i learned the traditional way, with tons of sheets, lots of theory. However, i felt so trapped that i had to rely on sheets and couldnt use my learned theory to play by myself. Not only that, i’m very tone deaf so it’s hard for me to recognize and match tunes, but you really inspire me to take another go at jazz piano and improv. It seems so liberating to be able to play with a guidance/restriction from sheets.

try this, in any key play: root ,3, 4, flat 5, 5, 7, root so in the key of C minor it would be, C, Eb, F, Gb,G, Bb, C. Play this in a scale up and down. it is a minor blues harmonic. It will help you with improvisation because it is so versatile.
