A Master Class in Playing Jazz with Pianist Kenny Werner
In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org – Jazz Piano great Kenny Werner conducts a master class in jazz piano at the famed Blue Note in New York. He addresses a wide variety of issues that jazz players on all instruments face – issues of confidence and mental preparation, techniques for better improvisation and for improving your ability to collaborate, and how to overcome the mind games that every musician plays with themselves over "what to play next?" and "does this sound good?" He also demonstrates his approach to music with several performances of standards and original compositions.

Great speech. He is a wise man and a true artist.
Kenny , You`ve mastered into part of the mind that splits our negative and positive apart from each other and float to a higher level that shares with our soul, very cool Thanks Kenny
wow i love the way he goes into depth they need more videos like this on youtube
The guy goes deeper then Bernstein’s lectures and if you haven’t watched those and you like this you should definitely check it out! Kenny obviously suggests we are in a 21st century crisis of art & soul cause of technology and the likes. This guy has a voice!
Hope you guys didnt miss the message. Wise advice here.
Beautiful Playing. Beautiful Speaking. Here and Now. A very Wise Man.

This is the most hilarious musical quip I’ve heard in a long while.
wonderful
or 50 years from now.
There is such a good vibe around this guy. Inspiring!
He’s 100% right.
EVERY time I’ve ever played, thinking “Wow, I sound really good”, I was totally ‘out of my head’.
Priceless playing. Priced playing relates more to being influenced to like what the group likes so you will fit in, which mainly happens in youth and is often reflected through out ones life.
Check out my version of autumn leaves, thanks
! What A CLASS !
