Not one moment of tension detected in the hands... impressive

[@myname-mz3lo]

because he is playing riffs and licks like they are excercises . he practiced it . real jazz improv you take risks and it makes your hands get some tension . but thats better sounding than boring mechanical playing . barry harris said this in the masterclass you are watching .

[@Hitsko]

@@myname-mz3loLol, barry used licks himself.

[@mingsun6249]

the stride bro, his hands are like AC current... there's no way he improvised all of that??!!

[@asgeirsoe]

Oh I’m pretty sure he did, but most (all?) improvisers have some licks they keep returning to and can fit into chord progressions, so it was probably the case here as well. It is very very impressive no matter how you look at it though - great technique!

[@nathanaeledward_b]

believe or not aome folks have an easier time playing of ear and feel than recitation or sheet reading. i couldn’t imagine having to memorize all those notes and just playing off muscle memory. sounds miserable

[@ripleyhrgiger4669]

@@nathanaeledward_b A great pianist is a great improvisor as well. Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Liszt, Choping, and so on... All of them encouraged (even writing in "Improvise here" in their manuscripts) and taught improvisation techniques. But, to get to that point you need to have a good foundation or your improvisations will sound like shit.

[@flare2000x]

There's no way I could play that, but I feel like for most jazz musicians playing something this tricky is way easier to do improvised than to do reading music. If that was written out it would be immensely more difficult than just letting your hands flow.

[@myname-mz3lo]

this is a video of a barry harris masterclass and he criticised this kind of player multiple times . then this guy comes on and plays what he said was bad playing (mechanically playing riffs and licks you memorised instead of creating a melody that breathes) . but modern people repost the video giving him praise bahaha its hilarious and sad that people are losing their ears and applauding mediocrity nowdays because talent is more rare . no soul in that solo at all

[@Aaron-md2eo]

⁠​⁠ aight little bro 😂 the hell's the matter with you? Rossano is one of the greatest jazz pianists of our era. what exactly is it that makes you think this is mediocre? perhaps your own lack of skill, talent, and dedication to even come close to something like this? most of the jazz greats did not improvise every damn bar of every performance, especially for "show pieces" like this. whether this is actually improvised, or semi-improvised or even played note for note from some pre-arranged version, we don't know. but does it even matter? rossano is a phenomenal improvisor, which you would know had you listended to his many performances here or in person. Let's hear you play something on this level in terms of technique and then something of your own which you call "a melody that breathes, is not full of riffs and licks and is original". Then we'll see if your criticism has any merit or if it is, like you, useless and full of shit.

[@zimmelfsho1]

Tbh i would have written this in 4/4 with everything twice as fast because this has a bunch of parts that cross the bar line with tied quarter or half notes that feel like it could be one bar not 2

Jazz is generally written in the way demonstrated, regardless of tempo 😊

[@AndrewJanusson]

What? It is in 4/4.

[@jazzpoprockamwdgeel8124]

You're wrong, this is really high in tempo but those lines are in 8ths. Imagine a walking bass on this playing tempo around 350

[@zqa1623]

🤔 and...... How many hours must to had practice Liszt?

[@zampai]

why is it written like that.. each of those notes should be halved

[@LePredator1]

Jazz lines are by convention written in eights (quavers), regardless of tempo. There can be exceptions but in this case there's no need.

I do not see any mention of Art Tatum anywhere! This is his arrangement note-for-note and credit should be made to him first and foremost for creating and preforming such a wonderful arrangement.

[@TheJaykayNZ]

This should be the top comment….searched for Art’s version of this and it’s night and day in terms of feel and dynamics

[@drewmfie]

i am sorry but that is quite an outrageous statement you're making. this is by no means tatum note-for-note. there may be lots of hints to tatum in the head but his solo is NOT how tatum wouldve played it. rossano plays runs that are distinctively teddy wilson! the single note phrases are charlie parker/bud powell; tatum rarely ever played those types of phrases, and even if he did he would articulate them very differently!

I mean great but why it's written double tempo I don't know

[@drewmfie]

no, we are not about to have this stupid discourse by people who are clearly out of their depth again, so i will shut it down right here. it's not 180bpm because that is not how it is written. just one of those things is a 64 bar tune, and jazz musicians play it as a 64 bar tune. you could easily notate it such that it would be 32 bars and 2/4, but no jazz musician consistently feels or plays in 2/4. you might be tricked into thinking hes playing 2 beats per measure because of the stride on the left hand but stride is in 4/4, he feels it in 4, I feel it in 4, and every jazz musician feels it in 4, just listen to his right hand, he's playing eight notes and his phrases are in 4. seriously, if you dont feel 4/4 360bpm when you listen to him, i suggest you listen to uptempo jazz complete with bass and drums, that might clear up the ambiguity here.

My belief is that the meme-ification of musical excerpts goes against a genuine and deep appreciation of music, which even in previous times was destined to only a few. You might think that this approach extends music to more people. That might be partially true, but it does not fulfill it towards genuine appreciation. There could be exceptions but those exceptions were bound to happen regardless.
