[@BobMazzo]

That intro was tight !! 🤟🎹

[@patemblen3644]

Really excellent lesson in listening to the nuance and detail. The difference between OK and great. Thanks Peter.

[@JoshWalshMusic]

Peter just casually stole Dan's water bottle...

[@user-fj2tt4qx8q]

A phrase may be a better term than a lick. Lovin this session. Tom

[@EricMartinPercussion]

Such a great solo! I really liked this breakdown. When I learned it, I went ahead and learned the vibraphone and piano solos at the same time. I found it really helpful to compare the approach of three great players on the same tune.

[@JasonMarsalis]

Ellis Marsalis wasn’t into Theolonious Monk at first. Then he heard Monk’s solo on this tune.

[@pianopeter]

❤

[@clh3239]

So so great! Love this and would be so curious what other solos you find important to break down in this way. Yes more please.

[@idnemgk]

This is wonderful, Peter. This solo seems to have the essence of Mile's vocabulary. Although it truly speaks (sings) for itself, it is wonderful and enlightening to hear the solo through your ears and eyes!

[@brw4807]

It is interesting how I never seem to learn the lesson of Miles Davis: He is a giant. Yet, so glad I get to discover this over and over again. Amazing.

[@tiluriso]

I'm guitarist and always learn a lot from you guys, this was awesome, thanks for sharing.

[@geocosmicvalentine]

Oh my God, memories are flooding through me, I haven’t looked at this solo since 1991! 😍🥹🥲 This is sparking all kinds of cellular memory ✨🤯🤩

[@fabiofasciolo]

YES! We do enjoy this! A masterclass! Thanks!

[@5geezers]

It’s all (well, a lot) about the “inner” phrasing! Thanks Peter, would definitely love to see/hear more transcriptions through your lens! Get well soon Adam 😊

[@renataarrivolo6894]

Yes more of this please ! Love all the detail articulation scales used. How to translate a trumpet solo to piano Fantastic!

[@holm81]

Love the solo breakdown format!

[@johnnichols1249]

also check out "Milt Jackson on Bag's Groove - the FIRST jazz vibraphone solo you should learn!" on Tim Collins channel.

[@pianoman_JP]

Excellent session, love the intro/outro & solo analysis!

[@constandinr8260]

Its summer and all i do is repeat the winter solos i learned. Now i have to go to work again... Thanks alot😂

[@JeithKarrett]

same man.. very humbling experience to go back and find out what's stuck and what hasn't

[@RustyKeys72]

Very enjoyable following the notation. Great insights, too!. Very easy to follow.

[@barrymaher3922]

Loved, loved, loved this analysis. If the show only did solo breakdowns like this and the occasional album review for fun, it would be fantastic.

[@ricardoross2939]

Right on time! Was looking for a solo for this month

[@dfromcool]

Damn! That opening!

[@kramnewton8683]

This is so helpful... PLEASE make more videos like this!!!!

[@paulpmanhowland7818]

I like figuring out Miles Davis things. I enjoyed your analysis of the Miles Davis solo on Bag's Groove take one. You dealt with the notes/scale/chord/theory stuff thoroughly AND you took time to really dig in to the phrasing/dynamics/note duration details. Well done!

[@tomlibero3780]

Incredible solo! Thx!

[@0zzzzz]

i just started the jazz piano beginners course 4 days ago and this feels like a dungeon i wildly unprepared stumbled into.

[@rosenbergjoe]

what stand out for me, like all Miles, is his use of space - pausing between ideas. and his commitment to melody; a blues phrase in bar 9 to F in 10, because of the idea rather than the chord. and bar 11 with the Eb, turning away from the obvious E to F

[@alphakid9000]

Real inspiring, gonna shed this

[@brittdavid8591]

Can't wait to see you guys in Milwaukee, dinners on me

[@monoswinger]

It's pretty funny, because this is the only jazz solo what I transcribed and learnt several times since I startad to play on different instruments and different levels of understanding :D

[@johnnichols1249]

This is the sh*t! More of this pleez.

[@GizzyDillespee]

32:25 That's funny because I was thinking I kinda liked the earlier lines a little bit more, too. I think those were the most memorable for many other people as well. Plus the novelty effect of the 1st chorus being the 1st time we heard it, and by the next time around we're already experts (not really experts, but that's a mental tendency I'm always up against. It's a variety of taking familiar things for granted). Thanks for this breakdown - that was really in-depth.

[@marcopaolovaleriovezzoli5776]

Great stuff

[@steveruffennach6418]

...loved the C. McBride interview/ discussion, thanks

[@bryanbinnema1902]

My man walked back that title like a bassline

[@subschool5]

i always loved this solo, take 2 is just as good

[@ALANWEEKES]

Yes please 😊

[@MattWatsonHarmonica]

Looking for something new to transcribe! Thanks!

[@Metronomic]

And this is just take 1! His solo on take 2 is just as good imo !

[@r4w2e3q1]

Wow bro, the opening... is there a situation for the notes?

[@jazziejackie]

Intro was smooth … better than the original…

[@enricolongo242]

The solo sounds like Miles was improvising all note by note without 'licks'.

[@carolradoi2693]

i need to learn that intro. does anybody have the sheet music?

[@nickrees4706]

I agree, I don’t much care for ‘lick’. Also don’t care for ‘groove’ as a noun. Somehow sound a bit self-congratulatory when they should just be matter of fact descriptors.

[@ImpulseGenerator]

I want to learn the melody to every tune I know, as a bass player, but it's difficult! Any tips how to do that properly?

[@lakshaylegspin]

that intro!!!!!!

[@notme437]

definitely agree that "lick" is overused

[@Brendan99349]

According to Apple Music, Monk and Miles had tension in their relationship, which is shown in Monk not comping for Miles on this song.

[@c.l.4895]

Adam who? Nice breakdown. Do it again on a Dexter Gordon please.

[@BoWadeOnDrums]

🎹☕️🎵yes

[@enricolongo242]

At last Peter plays intro live!) What's the name of this track btw?

[@carlosmiranda6419]

I'm tired of musical nerds trying to "decode" the harmony rather than listening and learn how to play. The jazz was originally transmitted by oral communication, that's how the old cats learned how to play. Thanks Peter you are a master !!

[@anthonymcalpine1729]

Shut up, Carlos!

[@jacobevans4267]

you can 'decode' things and learn by ear. they don't have to be exclusive. that's how Herbie did it. Herbie is probably the biggest jazz nerd of all time.

[@corneliaronnmarker6139]

I try to decode things AND learn by ear. Think I know what you mean, though.

[@aron.gortman]

You need to play a duet with your boy Luka Doncic next video.

[@danielsheltraw8773]

Yes. Do something like this again. Solo suggestion? How about Lester’s solo on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJm9hqOqnNmFY7Msi=5FsHSPZqhmiOSzar

[@shakesrear7850]

'Got more?

[@antgeeze7129]

This dude🔥🥹👍🏾💯

[@braypiano2087]

The Intro is amazong, what is The name of this song?

[@SilverTheFlame]

Emotion in Motion by Peter Martin himself :)

[@danielsheltraw8773]

Miles solo sounds like the solo he would take after listening to Monk. There is a lot of Monk in there. One criticism: Miles plays some triplet phrases that struggle to find the groove. Painful for me to listen to.

[@Michelle_Wellbeck]

I thought it was going To be Monk's Solo. Monk's solo was better.

[@flober1970]

Sorry, not a fan of this solo. To me his footprints is the best.
