How to Listen to Music

Rick Beato hit a grand slam with his video "How to Listen to Music" below. He analyzed the McCoy Tyner tune called Passion Dance, which I had never heard before. Listen to it first, paying attention to the piano solo.


Did you hear that insane piano solo?!? Below is the transcription:


And then there's Elvin Jones. I know he is considered to be a legendary jazz drummer. That said, I've never really gone out of my way to listen to him or to study his style. That's on me.


I think of the above videos as being research so that I can enjoy Rick Beato's analysis even more.


What a brave jazz combo to cover this tune!
