One of the most beautiful piano accompaniments I've ever heard (transcription)

I came across one of Barry Harris' singing lessons and thought that the piano accompaniment was just gorgeous. I wanted to study what the pianist (Jakub Hajdun) was doing and so I had to transcribe it. Completing this transcription took me more hours than I'd initially thought and more than I would like to admit. The name of the tune is Embraceable You.
The notes that you see in parenthesis ”( )” are either notes I'm not sure were played or some personal additions.
Here's where you can buy the transcription from: buymeacoffee.c...
or the MIDI file: buymeacoffee.c...

Unfortunately, I can't change the transcription from the video but if you choose to grab the pdf file all these mistakes (and others that I found after checking again) are fixed. m.12 - last chord symbol should spell A7(b9) and not Gdim. Thank you @htctatoo100 for pointing that out! m.15 - second half of the measure: interpreting Ab7#5 as actually Aminmaj7 keeps the same function as the previous chord (Am7) and makes more sense, as @fredericlinden pointed out. I also kept Ab7#5 in the pdf as an alternative chord symbol because most (if not all) publications I found use that chord symbol instead of the minmaj7 one, for reasons I don't completely understand. m.20 - chord symbols should be Dbmaj7 and Gb7 (beat 3). @billgrahammusic spotted a variation on the Tadd Dameron turnaround (which begins with the last chord from m.19) m.38 - as @EliaGaitau pointed out, on beats 3 and 4 the leading melody is doubled in the left hand one octave lower (removing Ab from the chord). After a closer look, I noticed an Ab on beat 4 in the left hand in the lower octave. m.42 - last chord symbol should read Eb7(#11b9) instead of E7(#11b9). Thank you @JakeChapman! m.52 - first chord should be a Dbmaj7 and not an Eb7sus - Thanks @hdb28091! m.71 - what looks like the 2nd half of beat 3, LH: the grace note should be one octave lower (thanks @silver1788 for spotting it!) m.73, first 3 beats: LH plays the bottom note one octave lower (and in octaves), and the top note is incorporated into the RH. The 5th chord is also part of the 6th dim. scale and the C7 chord is voiced as follows: a low C note (C2) in the bass, an E a 10th higher, and then Bb, Db, F#, and A in the right hand. Thank you @Ambidextroid for flagging this!

[@sandalero]

yep. i heard the Csus // Ab13 // Dbmaj // Gb13 too

[@fredericlinden]

Exact

[@EliaGaitau]

m.38 over the Ab diminished, is a typical block chord technique- I can hear the voice leading note being doubled an octave below. You have it as only the top note playing over a static chord. Fantastic transcription btw! Just throwing in my 2 cents 😅

[@PianoDigitalScores]

@@EliaGaitau Thank you so much! I remember enjoying your videos on Jam of the Week. I took a closer look and you're absolutely right! It was hard to hear that inner movement but it's there nonetheless. I can also hear an Ab in the lower octave on beat 4. Thank you again!

[@marcus5017]

I keep coming back to this improv absolutely FLOORED by the transition from the Ab9 to Fm11 at 1:13. Absolutely brilliant rendition of a gorgeous piece ❤

[@PabloCardonaMusic]

Bro how does a person even become this good? How do you learn to come up with this accompaniment on the spot? How does one attain this power? If I could play the piano like this I would never stop

[@PianoDigitalScores]

I don't know how it was for him but for me most likely it will take a lot of work. I also think that he knows the tune inside out and has played many variants of what was recorded here. After that you just naturally put pieces together. Nevertheless, he is truly remarkable.

[@alessandroferrarachitarra]

[@jinxpianista]

[@OdgeBrown]

Can't begin to imagine how much study and practise the pianist must have put in. His playing left one of the greatest jazz pianists virtually speechless at points. Don't think praise and recognition really gets much higher than that. Superb.

[@psyarts8687]

I rmemeber coming across this video of Barry years ago when I first started getting into jazz and this pianist’s accompaniment was just so beautiful to me. I think many pianists do not recognize how important melodic comping is and it usually takes a back seat to soloing when realistically, you will be comping most of the time you’re playing. It makes me happy to see modern pianist like in this video, and others such as Emmet Cohen, truly embrace the interactive melodic and harmonic nature of comping. It makes me even happier to see this transcription! Wonderful job

[@PianoDigitalScores]

Thank you! I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about comping. I'm a big fan of Emmet too.

[@tomatocroissant378]

Very well said and put, another wondeful player who demonstrates such sensibility is Rossano Sportiello who in Barry Harris' own words is "the best stride piano player" he's ever heard.

[@PabloCardonaMusic]

Even the very first chord at the beginning of the video, before the intro, it sounds so beautiful and it's just an F6. There's something about his touch that probably can't be transcribed, but just with the sheet music alone, there's years worth of content to study, thank you for this!

i totally agree! his arpeggiated chords/runs are just so even, well-paced and clear and so tastefully sprinkled throughout...the colors they create are just too cool

[@iMoDZzGamingZz]

It’s really just the way he voices the chord. More top note and bass note with subtle emphasis on inner notes to shape the entire chord. Classically trained maybe? Either way he plays it beautifully.

[@sylvesterpalermo937]

I played piano in my Dad's band. First dance job I was 14 years old in 1956. We had 5-7 pieces. I would go to sleep at night listening to 33 1/3 records. Joe Bushkin, Art Tatum, George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Ahmad Jamal. I agree, this is a wonderful piano accompaniment, smooth as silk. I love one like this where you wait in anticipation for the next creative sound.. When it sounds this easy you know he has put endless hours finding that beautiful flow and sound. Thank you for this.

[@Madinko12]

The accompaniment from m.42 (2:40) to m.53 sounds especially beautiful to me. This chromatic triplet progression at m.43, how he subtly recalls the melody at m.45 and m.47-48, very elegant arpeggios and chords. I don't understand the harmony a lot because I'm dumb, but that sounds brilliant, I'd like to learn to play like this. Also, I didn't know Barry Harris could sing that well.

Grande accompagnamento. Una lezione di riarmonizzazione bella corposa😊

[@htctatoo100]

Thank you for transcribing this! This is the video I always share to my friends in the band when they asked what jazz ballad are. I think some of the measures and chords can clean up a little bit. For example, the second chord of measure 1 (Fmaj#5) can be omitted as this is an embellishing chord to resolve from Fmaj7/9 to F6, this is also the application of the 6dim. scale. Gdim7 chord on measure 12 should be an A7(b9) instead. Also, can choose either m7b5 or half dim chord.

[@PianoDigitalScores]

My pleasure! I'll leave the Fmaj#5 just to show how one could embellish the space between those two chords. As for measure 12, you are right. I'll make the correction to the PDF in a few days as I'm traveling at the moment. Thank you for pointing that out!

[@PiotrBarcz]

Pretty sweet playing!

[@Ambidextroid]

Great video thanks. I was studying some moments and I think at the start of measure 73 there is a mistake, where the pianist is using the Bb minor 6th dim scale I believe the piano is playing those bass notes an octave lower than notated, and where the notation says he goes up 4 chords and then down one before landing on the C7, I hear simply going up 5 chords and landing on the C7 as I can hear the G at the top of the last chord leading into the A at the top of the C7. And I think the C7 is voiced with a low C note (C2) in the bass, an E a 10th higher and then Bb, Db, F# and A in the right hand. Anyway great effort well done

[@PianoDigitalScores]

Hey Ambidextroid! You're absolutely right! I'm not sure if maybe there's also an E natural in C7 in the RH (could be unlikely). Thank you for the correction!

[@PianoDigitalScores]

Hey frederliclinden, thanks for pitching in! I did pause to consider this when transcribing it but I became unsure because all publications that I've checked used the Ab#5 notation. Is there a case to be made for Ab#5? Why do you think Ab#5 is laregely used instead of minmaj7?

[@fredericlinden]

​@@PianoDigitalScores Hello, you ask : "Why do you think Ab#5 is largely used instead of minmaj7?" Largely ? Really ?!?!?! The simple answer to 'why' is : ignorance of 300 years of music behind us, and of having no notion of Counterpoint. No notion whatsoever. I laugh writing this although it is sad... If the 'e' is the bass note (as you indicate), and it could (it would in Mozart), what is the chord then ? The answer : Eaug. Simple. The top note holds the function of a 'pedal'. Look at it the way you want, with the 'e' in the bass, it is a dominant chord in its FUNCTION. And the next measure proves it. But really, it could be a A min chord symbol for the entire measure. That tune is - technically- one chord per measure... Indicating a chord symbol for each PASSING tone is what I call a " 'sickness' from the jazz schools in the U.S.". Someone should teach the students, and for at at least two years, scores of Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Berlioz, Schoenberg, Wagner, Ravel, etc., plus the works of authors of Music Theory... Because their works do matter... Why do I say all this when one could consider that the harm is done and nothing will fix it...

[@PianoDigitalScores]
