A secret that I learned when I was about 10-12 years old, was to play Disney songs. Most of those Disney composers from the jazz era had lots of macros or riffs that you can incorporated in your playing. That was also the time that I learned to play Broadway musical songs for the white people at school middle school. Alot of that stuff is learning to move back and forth between minor, augmented chords, and 3 note diminished chords and learning to add a 4 note in there somewhere when playing minor keys. Then play fourths, fifths, and major 3rds when filling over major chords. Sean has a very interesting way of explaining things and I enjoy it because I don't think like he does. He has very good perspective.

[@jefflittlemusic3205]

Tonycowin, I appreciate your response. As an Atheist, you kindly handled our exuberance to share God’s plan with you…smile. Music to a Believer is one evidence for God’s existence, so we rightly so, get excited about “un-earthly” music. It is beautiful that atheists and believers alike, can appreciate and acknowledge beautiful music that seems to skip over our individual platforms, beliefs and biases. I listened to a secular artist last night in a public square outside and admitted that the talent this musician had, seemed to come from a creative space that no one else on earth seemed to be able to access themselves, unless some “key” to that talent was given to them. Creativity with skill, is a crazy thing to try and loin down, with only a scientific mindset. Thanks again for being kind and honest in your responses. I am guessing we both had the jaw of our minds dropped, when we listened to this piano line…grin. Peace to you and hope you keep listening to music from our side of the stage, as I am still amazed by music from outside my belief system.

I love the creativity he displays and thank you so much as always for the amazing breakdowns.. I do think he's definitely doing way too much..

[@kachebeeabdullah4297]

@kenfontenot That's not true. No matter how much you may wish to appropriate it, every people have their own beauty. True American music is Native American Music. Unless you are Native American, your argument don't have any legs to stand upon. Are you Caucasian? You sound like an appropriator. My people's music began from slavery folk or soul music. This music gave birth to two daughters: Gospel on one hand and blues on the other. Gospel had one daughter - African American Classical Music aka Jazz. Blues gave birth to practically every genre in the United States today - from Rock & Roll to Hip Hop! The Europeans imported in Bach, Mozart, Chopin and many others (Whom I love by the way). But true American music is Native American Music... Please continue to study... And don't be one who appropriate. Appreciate instead. ❤️🙂

[@kachebeeabdullah4297]

@kenfontenot Appropriating and indifference is what cause division among ethnicities. I believe every people have something beautiful to offer.

I'd also like to add as a point of debate. There is no overplaying here. Singers and musicians have a deep connection when both are musically inclined. Mrs. Wyatt is also a musician and knows exactly what she want to hear. Kim Burrell chooses musicians who will play with this skill level because it opens up more creative opportunities for vocals. versus someone just playing basic melodic structure.

[@1masterfader]

The freedom in embellishment is beyond music theory. No rules apply when you are in the flow state of playing. The only thing I remember about some of my solos is the reaction after the solo is done. Notes alone do not explain or convey the flow state. However, looking at the name of a chord and examining the possiblities juxtiposing the melody is exilerating.

Wendy is a lovely singer. I discovered her recently and now follow her on IG. I do think Kim Burrell would be more suitable for this jazzy singer as she would play vocally and trade with him. Ms. Wendy, in my humble opinion needed a bit more aligned player who would start behind her and just provide flourishes within the scope of what she was singing - her style.

@@kazbj9265 If you go look this guy up, you’ll see that he even plays behind choirs like this. I saw a video where he was doing this and he had to keep telling them to sing.

The pianist put together some really neat sounds together. Too much to speak of. However, the accompaniment became overbearing and it seems as if the pianist took over the song, instead of truly being a support for the singer. My interpretation of the singer pausing, was because things got whacked out of proportion and the singer wasn’t being given support for what she was doing, and so she had to stop in order to musically reset. Still, the pianist has some superior playing. I can only hope to play as well in my lifetime.
