Nice work Jeffrey. One correction - George Coleman is playing tenor sax on Maiden Voyage, not Wayne Shorter.

Pat on the back for getting corrected by Andy LaVerne! I made the same mistake in college and got into a heated argument with the professor, all good. Rhythm is the FIRST detail that I noticed in your Keith Jarrett transcription--I think that you can copy all the scale choices and harmony and NOT sound anything like the musician you are studying. Rhythm is the fingerprint for 90% of our favorite musicians--how they fill up a measure of time, where they start and end phrases, how they use subdivision, where they accent, what they articulate, etc. In terms of Keith Jarret's rhythmic conception--I think that those 9-tuplets and triplets are embedded in his dance throughout the tune. I don't think that he picks and chooses rhythms as isolated events. Rather, they all exist in a multilayer poly rhythmic soup that characterizes Keith Jarrett's unique dance. The rhythms float to the top, like veggies in a soup--but everything simmers in the same pot. I got introduced to the rhythmic fingerprint through studying Mike Longo's materials--Dizzy Gillespie's last pianist. Just some thoughts, love your video!

Haha that's the great thing about the comment section. And yeah I agree rhythm is king! I also highly doubt Keith Jarrett is thinking "oh I'm gonna play 9 tuplets now". I tend to think about it like an impressionistic oil painting, but I like the soup analogy too. And btw I think you'll like the next video I'm working on cause it's gonna be all about rhythm :)
