Yes the 11th! I only recently realized how important it is for voicing the ii chord in Great American Songbook standards and in Monk tunes ... My voicings became much more authentic when I realized this.

[@kierenmoore3236]

That would be the iv/ii, so to speak? Or the IV/I, that you’re referring to?

[@stelastic]

@@kierenmoore3236 I'm referring to voicing a ii-v-I progression in C like this (from bottom note up) : D -C-F-G; G-B-F-G; C-B-E-G

[@JeremySiskind]

Great! Enjoy! It's one of my top 11 favorite chord tones. 😂

[@patrickmcginty632]

Been watching the suspenseful old 1950's detective show "Peter Gunn" w Henry Mancini's theme. Lots of cool jazz shows up in it at "Mother's" tavern. Thank you.

[@JeremySiskind]

Mancini was a master! Thanks for watching, Patrick!

[@BrendaBoykin-qz5dj]

Fantastic tutorial, Jeremy. Immediately useful. Come to Wuppertal and ride the Schweberbahn( the swinging suspension train/bus). Btw, the historic Stadthalle is concert hall with perfect acoustics. WE NEED YOU,Maestro!!! ⭐🌹✨🔥🌹⭐

[@darkopesevski9829]

My birthday is on the 11th of February too!!! :))) Great lesson Jeremy, thank you so much!

[@JeremySiskind]

Wow, you and my mom are birthday mates!

[@musterionsurly]

Thanks for the usual concise and thorough treatment of the topic in a fun way. Love your teaching. The suspense was not killing me for a change.

[@JeremySiskind]

Oh wow! That's a relief!

[@BrendaBoykin-qz5dj]

Thank you, Jeremy. I was particularly fascinated by point 5. My musical/spiritual existence had been held in suspense until I received this key into the JazzMysterySchool InnerSanctum.🌞⭐🌹⭐🌞

[@JeremySiskind]

Wow, the JazzmysterySchool InnerSanctum! I hope to get invited some day!

[@marcelloestemiele]

9:50-9:57 this way of voicing that chord sounds so emo and i love it

[@JeremySiskind]

Super moody, right? Thanks for checking it out!

[@pianoman_JP]

Great lesson Jeremy, you hit the nail on the head here. I've been working on Dreamy by Erroll Garner, the first chord is a major 7th & the melody sits on the 4th for 3 beats on this beautiful ballard. How would you voice this? Maybe omit the 3rd? Also since getting into jazz 55 years ago I've been fascinated by the idea of why a major 7th interval is less dissonant than a minor 9th - same notes! Could be a topic for another lesson. THANK YOU!

[@JeremySiskind]

I would think of it as another chord - probably a sus chord, a diminished seventh chord draped above the root, or a dominant seventh chord above the root. Or just listen to whatever Errol does! 😉

[@donm3986]

Another great video with more than the title suggests. I was in suspense wondering what are the 5 things (and then pleasantly surprised to learn there are 6 things.)

[@JeremySiskind]

I like to under promise and overachieve. 🤷‍♂️

[@worldmusictheory]

i love the sound of the 11th on major chords. although its dissonant theres lots of resolutions that are so satisfying.

[@G8tr1522]

that's why i love them. You can spice up so many basic chords with it, but with less tension than 7s and altered tones.

[@JeremySiskind]

Great! You've got to be able to space it/voice it well, but if you can use it effectively, more power to you!

[@federicomelo1853]

Nice to hear the 4th to 3rd used as a counterpoint on the left hand.

[@JeremySiskind]

Absolutely! This is one of my "go to" devices!

[@janetheffernan5565]

Phew glad you resolved that suspenseful moment! Another very useful video thank you! 👍

[@JeremySiskind]

Haha, thank you, Janet! Thanks for watching!

[@alphaomega6062]

I was kept in suspense at the end of the video wondering if you would ever find the review sheet! When you did I resolved to mention it in my comment :)

[@JeremySiskind]

Review sheet? Is that a thing?

Olá sou daqui do Brasil e estou ansioso em comprar seus livros. Sua maneira de ensinar é fantastica e sei que terei uma super evoluçao no piano jazz. Parabens e obrigado

[@JeremySiskind]

No hablo portugués, pero puedo comprender lo mayoría por mi conocimiento de español. Gracias por la nota y espero que disfrutes tu jornada en piano jazz.

[@powlobo.m.b.]

Great video!

[@stevenhupkens2053]

Great video! I want to add :sometimes in a 2-5-1 progression the suspended note on the dominant (fifth scale degree) is not even resolved to the third. So for example in the example of the 2-5-1 in Bb major (as shown in the video) there will be a Bb in the C minor 7 and in the F7 only to be resolved when the major chord arrives.

[@JeremySiskind]

Fair point - essentially creating a "sus" chord.

[@VALINOR24]

Jeremy, your lessons are superb and I learn something new each time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I have a special request: a deep dive into Bud Powell's rendition of Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight" which is my favorite jazz composition. Once again, thank you.

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks, Valinor! No guarantees, but I'll keep it in mind (P.S. Do you know anything about the group house named "Valinor" in Berkeley?)

[@VALINOR24]

@@JeremySiskind No sir, I'm not familiar with that. I got the name Valinor from LOTR.

Sparkling lesson today ; )

[@JeremySiskind]

Why thank you! I aim to sparkle!

[@DavidGilden]

You can use an 11th on a Dom chord, VII #11, C 7 add F#

[@JeremySiskind]

Yep #11's (b5s) are always fair game on dominant chords.

[@brw4807]

On the edge of my seat…

[@JeremySiskind]

Haha, I bet the suspense is killing you!

Thanks for listening, mark!

[@caseydahl1952]

would you ever use sus4 and #9 together?

[@BrendaBoykin-qz5dj]

Sounds interesting. 🤔🌞

[@luizmiranda6396]

it sounds like a minor 11th chord

[@lexmusiclab]

Yeah I think sus b9 is more useful. Jeremy has a video about it

[@JeremySiskind]

Yep - i agree here, the #9 would basically sound like the minor third in that case.

[@JeremySiskind]

That's so nice! I am...but it's a pleasant surprise.

[@solideomusical]

If a chord is 'sus' the kids would say to avoid it

[@JeremySiskind]

Exactly - at least it doesn't have riz?
