[@ninob5155]

Well done Ron!, one of my favourites ; for those who want to go straight to the action, it starts at 5:45

Thanks, Oliver. Have fun playing this great tune :)

my favorite song. thanks for this friend!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks, Brian! I remember looking at this when I was in college, and I couldn't make any sense of it. But as I'm sure you've found, it's internal logic slowly reveals itself. Good luck with your playing :)

Great explanation of what is a beautifully difficult song. The best explanation on YT.

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks Joe, glad this helps!

If memory serves right it was Staphane Grappelli who challenged Steve Swallow to write a tune and Falling Grace came forth.

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks, I hadn't heard that before. Grappelli was an amazingly open-minded person and musician!

Really enjoyed the lesson...thanks!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks Randy! Had you ever played the tune before?

[@randyknisely8979]

@@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453 nope, but I will now!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

@@randyknisely8979 Yeah, check it out. The chords may sound strange at first but they'll gradually make more sense.

Your videos would be much better if you simply played the tunes once all the way through at the beginning and then talked about them.

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks for the suggestion! What I'd love is for viewers to either play the tunes through themselves before watching, or listen to a few recordings by famous jazz musicians to get a sense of the tunes. This will give you the necessary context to go deeper into the tunes via my explanations and interpretations. Either way, good luck with your playing :)
