Re-Discovering DENNY ZEITLIN- Piano Genius/Professor of Psychiatry- a jazz tutorial of a legend.

This video is called: Re-Discovering DENNY ZEITLIN: Piano Genius/ Professor of Psychiatry- a jazz tutorial of a legend. First discovered by John Hammond, Denny Zeitlin recorded for Columbia records in the 1960's. I'm playing a song from his first recording CARNIVAL... called We'll Be Together Again, composed by Carl T. Fischer, with lyrics by Frankie Laine. Leonard Feather wrote: "the most versatile young pianist to come to prominence in the early 1960s". While yet an relatively unknown pianist, he won the Downbeat Critics poll for best pianist in 1965 and 1974. He also wrote the score for the movie: "The Invasion of The Body Snatchers" (1978.) His first recording for Columbia- "Carnival", blew me away, and I thought he was destined to become the "new" Bill Evans. However, his concepts and improvisation were more innovative and exploring. It turns out that he made his music an avocation, and pursued a career in psychiatry and became a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. After his Columbia recordings he made 30 recordings as a leader and became a major innovator on piano. In this video I'm playing a song called "We'll Be Together Again" from his first recording: "Carnival", which is my arrangement, inspired by Denny. It's a solo piano performance and later on I break down some of his harmonic and re-harm features. Go to website for free PDF arrangement of this song. Also go to website to view my book: Jazz Piano: Methods and Songbook for professional playing. These techniques are explained in detail in the book. There is a special discount on my book.
