I’ll be the first to admit I am no good when it comes to playing jazz piano! Imagine reading a thousand books about something but never physically being able to put anything into practice…that’s totally how I feel about jazz piano. I can analyze solos, tell you chord progressions, name instrumentalists on various recordings, BUT all of that is just analytical knowledge that I have really put off applying! So here we go, a simple jazz standard called “Afternoon in Paris” that I’m learning through on 4 different instruments. This might be the hardest one, so join me on this journey, struggle through some chord voicings with me, and let’s get better together!
