Hi Hayden, where do I find the analysis of the intro? Such a lovely tune.
Hi Humberto,
Yes you can find that seminar here where we analyse Beegie’s introduction on this recording: https://www.pianogroove.com/live-seminars/body-soul-jazz-standard/ – in particular see the 5th and 6th chapters of this seminar. This was the first seminar where we analysed a Beegie Adair recording!
I also transposed the exact intro progression into the key of Eb Major, and you can find that lesson here: https://www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/eb-major-diatonic-workout/
Once we discover something that we like on a recording, we should first analyse it in the key it is played, then we can transpose the ideas to different keys, and apply it to different tunes.
Check out the lessons above and let me know if you have any questions.
Talk soon,
Hayden
Hayden, thanks! Can never get too many Beegie Adair lessons..
