How fast can a pro jazz musician learn this crazy Cowboy Bebop lick by ear?

[@badsnacks]

Hi guys!! The full video is over on my channel, it's called “How Fast Can a Pro Jazz Pianist Learn Songs By Ear?” where you can see the other 4 songs I challenged Noah to play on the spot :) Link to full video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4GWeYN3l9-Hf7Msi=R6QncxKehGPCj9Uu

Oh! What does it look like when you’ve seen it? I know there’s a way if you cut the short directly from the long video through the KZbin app, but this was edited outside of the YT app.

[@musicnfilm3372]

The cool thing about jazz is that a lot of it is formulas, not pitch recognition. It's like when you see someone solve a Rubiks cube; it's not genius, it's algorithm

[@NoahKellman]

Fair point! I think this is true to some extent with all genres. There are repeatable building blocks/formulas and once you learn to recognize them it makes hearing that genre (and others) much easier.

[@stravinskyfan]

not exclusively jazz though

[@kay-no]

True. I also feel it’s still genius to be able to process that data in a fast way all in the brain, even if there are a handful of humans that can do it. Memorization can only get you so far imo vs actually knowing and processing the information

[@virtualmartini]

being able to recognize patterns and formulas on the fly and employ them IS genius, you dolt.

[@jasonruff1270]

uh it kinda is pitch recognition but more importantly sound recognition whenever you transcribe something you are trying to understand the sound that you are listening to he's not thinking mathematically about it, he's thinking more LINGUISTICALLY about it because music is essentially a language. that's why whenever you see keith jarret improvise he vocalizes what he is playing because he is very in tune with the sound of his inner ear

Perfect pitch is dope and I wish I had it, but by itself it doesn’t do a whole lot- I know people who don’t have it and have incredible ears, and peeps who do have it and can barely play an instrument or transcribe a line like this, but the people with the combo of highly trained ears, with perfect pitch + relative pitch combo are lucky and I’m jealous.
