Jazz Piano 3 Bas Improv

For his third lesson in the series, jazz pianist Warren Bernhardt teams up with guitarist Mike DeMicco for a powerful session that will teach you new and dynamic musical ideas. This lesson is designed for players who have gotten past the basics in the jazz idiom and have an understanding of the underlying principles of keyboard technique. The wealth of ideas that Warren conveys will give you the tools to be more creative with your music, expand your repertoire and discover what jazz soloing is all about.

What happens when Mozart’s genius meets the freedom of jazz? Boundaries dissolve, the “seriousness” of classical music fades away, and something fresh, playful, yet deeply human comes to life. Danubia Orchestra and the Áron Tálas Trio join forces to reimagine Mozart’s final piano concerto — blending improvisation, humor, and courage with the timeless beauty of classical form. It is a living, breathing dialogue between past and present, score and improvisation, classical and jazz.

I’m honored to discuss this CD. I found Fred Ho’s Monkey: Part One a glorious surprise, and this second section of his musical setting for the trickster tale is no disappointment. The ensemble’s personnel has few changes, notably Francis Wong as tenorist; but its spirit remains dramatic, flexible and visionary as Ho achieves tremendous range from trombone, three saxophones (including his own baritone), bass and drums, and several performers on Chinese traditional instruments.
