Absolutely brilliant. I've been waiting for this lesson all my life. Excellent insight into Red Garland's comping style. One of the best jazz piano videos I have seen on KZbin. I hope you continue making such great material for a long time !

[@psyarts8687]

Thank you so much for this! I also really loved your introduction of the Emmet Cohen “changes” he often does in blues. I don’t see them very often by other artists and he always has such a unique and melodic playing style! Thank you again!

[@StijnWauters]

Thank you, and you’re right, Emmet Cohen is an incredible piano player! Love his reharms and inventive playing..!

@@StijnWauters I think your comping exercises with their emphasis on timing feel, and playing really gets us humble students a real feel for jazz faster and easier than other methods or teachers.

[@Harmofinger]

Excellent! Merci beaucoup👍🙏😉

[@StijnWauters]

Merci!

[@johnnyblue1101]

Swinging all the way! Thanks Stijl. Keep it coming. And (pretty please) don’t forget to hip us to the classic bebop lines of Sonny Clark, Barry Harris and the immortal hard bob rhythms of Horace Silver.

[@StijnWauters]

Thanks a lot! And don’t worry, I won’t forget about Sonny and Barry,… :-)
