    Mr Chestnut needed a clip on radio mic! Some interesting and valid information for students was lost because of the mic routine. Where's the rest? Very good!

    Cyrus Chestnut is a great musician and teacher. These guys and the lady are good but, I think, the problem is the lack of expressing the melody graciously and a steady continuous rhythm or groove. There's a tendency to rush to improvisation without even finishing the melody e.g. Caravan and Stella by Starlight. This is what the teacher is saying about don't play the melody if you don't know it. Overall these pianists are good but I think they would do better playing with a rhythm section - swing bass and drums. I'm not an expert but I know the importance of rhythm. The improvisation should neighbour the melody, not too much on chords. That's just my opinion and a just word of advice. Thanks.

    Rhythm needs to break unpredictably, yet balance with melody and still flow, otherwise you bore yourself while playing, and also the audience.
    It ain't improv if you know where it's going.

      I think, at least with that first student, it would have been helpful if Cyrus had first invited him to play it again, exactly the same way as the first time. I'm sure (from his performance) that he would have been able to do it, note perfect, same phrasing.
      (No need to make him play the whole thing, just long enough to make the point).
      A jazz musician should not be able to do that. Must not be able to.

      Everyone’s music gets stolen dude.. it’s called the internet, it’s not exclusive to ADOS so put that victim card down cos you ain’t one... Black and white musicians worked together to create some of the best jazz albums of all time, music is something that unites people of all backgrounds... stop it with the hateful rhetoric. It certainly wouldn’t earn you any respect from the musicians who’s art you’re trying to protect.

      Although am not 100% agree with you, I totally understand what's coming from you.
      There's certain unique characteristics that separate jazz from other genres.
      However, if black keep it all together and learn more about jazz other than mumble rap, that would be amazing.
      Other than that, other people will take it anyway, one way or the other.
      So far Cory Henry is in the game. Need more people like him in the future.
