LET'S PLAY DIFFICULT JAZZ SONGS THIS SUNDAY

Have a look at Kenny Barron playing Have you met Miss Jones. I think the tricky bit is the middle section. As I listen to jazz pianists I am struck by the way they change the background sounds with different chord voicings, particularly in the upper structures for the right hand. Barron does it a lot.

We will try out some of the more difficult jazz songs next Sunday. Geoff is going to produce charts for these and a few others, Stella by Starlight and Have you met Miss Jones. I haven't played either. Maybe a couple of Charlie Parker songs.

Don't know what we'd do if we didn't have Geoff to help.
