Jazz Piano College ★ Turn Out The Stars ★ Bill Evans hit

[@j.m.b.8628]

I love this composition by Bill Evans. At one time I listened to all the versions I could find by Evans himself and he always surprised me with new melodic and rhythmic twists, it's amazing how he even changed the way he played this composition over the years. I love your piano playing, you are brilliant and very clear pedagogically. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Greetings from Argentina, Buenos Aires.

My all time fav Bill Evans song I learned the transcription but never looked to much at the harmony but there’s so many 2 5 1’s it would make an amazing practice song 👍👍

[@willarddickerson921]

I appreciate you recognizing the difference. Bill Evans is my favorite Jazz Pianist. I listen to this song every day. Sometimes 6 times a day. It is the alarm tone that wakes me up.

[@miplandeestudio4570]

So glad I've found your videos! Thank you very much for what you do! Every video is like a gift :)

[@ddlphotography7625]

Hi Tony, been watching your excellent videos for a little while now. This is one of my favourite tunes and as usual you did a masterfull job of explaining whats going on !! Thank you for your work and keep it up.

[@TonyWinston]

Thanks, I hope i didnt 'drone' on too much :)

[@truefilm6991]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for helping us figure out those elusive "how does he do that?" chords that make all the difference. Fantastic detailed break down as always!

[@qualityvigilante599]

Hey, thank you so much! I love that piece as well as your educational video on it! Great job! Greetings from Athens, Greece!!!

[@TonyWinston]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@edwardvivenzio5843]

Learning a lot from you Tony,thank you for sharing your knowledge/wisdom.

[@TonyWinston]

My pleasure!

[@josephwilmer]

Great playing and analysis, Mr. Winston! This is one of my favorite Bill Evans tunes. I got his omnibook for Christmas. Absolute gems in that book :)

[@TonyWinston]

Cool, thanks!

[@aresssssa]

Thank you professor

[@Bookssful]

Wonderful

[@Squirrel_eater]

Dear Mr Winston, great channel and another amazing video. I would like to suggest you doing a playlist of your videos that are more beginner-oriented. Much love!

[@TonyWinston]

Fantastic idea!

[@Squirrel_eater]

@@TonyWinston It would be great. I just started getting into jazz recently, and I watched some of you videos recently. A playlist with beginner-friendly lessons would help me, and the future jazz adepts find your easier videos easier

[@liriosanz]

Buenísimo!!! como todos videos !!!! Gracias por compartir !!

[@vladimirroubal8722]

Beautiful work. Thank you. Bill Evans always sends me into space 😍

[@GuitarThinker]

Great job as always Tony, thank you!

[@TonyWinston]

Thanks, love that chickin pickin guitar. I'm in envy of great country guitarists.

[@VasaMusic438]

As always a super video !!! Thank you so much !!!

[@TonyWinston]

You are welcome!

[@lucianphipps5430]

Thanks so much for this Tony! I've got a version of this in a another Bill Evans book and it is more or less the same as yours. There's quite a lengthy solo which is useful and the use of a lot of 3rds in the right hand beneath the melody note which works well. You've added some interesting voicings and solo ideas which are really appreciated. Thanks again.!

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Such a Great piece by Evans...it would fit a drama movie well

[@juliodicarlo5313]

U did it again!! Thank you.

[@Cdsv95]

Cheers Tony

[@DesertRose76]

Lovely song! Excellent teaching, as always! -- Luciana

[@TonyWinston]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mr.normieman3102]

exactly what i needed thanks so much!!

[@TonyWinston]

Glad it helped!

[@galenhawk8858]

First comment I've ever left. Would like to know if you got it. You are the first among equals to me: modest, not self important, serious but upbeat, pleasant and the standard American nice-guy. This is my fourth and final try at piano; the age clock tricks relentlessly. I'm rightly discouraged but your approach is easing the pain. Would like to buy a lesson plan for advanced beginner through to beginner advanced. Don't retire for awhile

[@TonyWinston]

Comment received! I'll try to guide you.

[@laurentoutang8350]

thanks so much for this great lesson

[@stephenrothman6058]

There is a detailed written transcription of the Live at Town Hall version. I learned a lot of it 40 years ago. May still have a copy. I think it was in a short booklet with 3-5 pieces.

[@TonyWinston]

Interesting. I have some transcriptions but not that one. I don't usually get much from transcriptions. Listening and trying to absorb the style works better for me.

[@paulosylwan1377]

Amazing video. More Bill Evans pls

[@HouseAdullam]

Thank you Tony all this material is so useful. I would’ve really loved to had seen this video using the chordie app you’ve used. Especially for the sections where you start going pretty quick and I can’t see what keys you are playing without playing it at x0.5 speed. Lol.

[@TonyWinston]

The fast stuff is not important. Chordie doesn't do well with speed. I will try to remember to play something fast and review it slowly in a future video

[@gabrielmirandamartinez8451]

Great Stuff!!

[@johnmcnichol8330]

Great stuff!

[@TonyWinston]

Thanks!

[@nezkeys79]

I love the sus2 / 3rd in the bass chord so much Or as you called it the Steely Dan chord Another chord I love is the minor 11th which is basically two basic triads on top of each other. Example G triad / Am triad = Am11

[@TonyWinston]

It is sometimes called the mu chord

[@nezkeys79]

@@TonyWinston what's the mu? Musucians union? Lol?

[@gaugeonesteam]

Interesting you say these charts are approximations. This seems true of so much sheet music of pieces you really want to learn. Ones you don't want to learn very accurate! Great lesson as always. (Sound seems a bit low volume on this. not sure if it's just on my laptop?) great solo. Chords and melodies I can learn but improv solos I find sooo difficult. (do have a listen to "John Horler" on here - one of my all time favorite jazz pianists).

[@TonyWinston]

Listening to 'a child is born' john horner trio.. now blue monk - much later. his style has really developed. He's awesome.there are so many monster pianists out there. I will cover him on blue monk.

[@smichener1]

Over my head, but enjoy the analysis!

[@walkercatenaccio]

Damn, this is a hard one, Tony. You're right, the chords don't go where you expect at all, though they do sound good anyway. And yet it has a kind of be-bop feel, doesn't it?

[@TonyWinston]

some of his other compositions are way more abstract (to my ears ) . I think it takes some getting used to. It took a while for this song to grow on me.

[@yooree4992]

I wonder if you could do Tenderly in Eb. It's such a wonderful, lovely song especially on the piano 🤍

[@TonyWinston]

I'm on it! coming soon
