What is Counterpoint? And How Does it Apply to Jazz?

I've been faching around with harmonizing standards with Maj6 dim, 4 voice chorale style plus bass line. Also motown tunes with modal voicings and afrocuban grooves. Congrats on everything Jeremy, thank you for all the great lessons

Darn it, this was good.

Haha finally I have a name for the "2121" jazz lick/pattern! "Tautology" lol

Jazz is the future of love of pianist for classical music like me ❤

Is there some kind of cross pollination point slope metaphor going on or is it just a random pre-calculus flashback intersecting along the xy system?

Thanks for making these videos! Maybe the best resource for jazz piano on YT idk.

Another great video, thanks.

Your videos are not only amazingly educational, inspirational and inspiring…your sense of humor in them makes the entire learning experience just a whole lot of fun! Deepest thanks for these and your excellent books!

Fach!

If the theory of counterpoint were written by a dog it would have been by a shih tzu. Does that qualify? Otherwise, stick to the book by Fux.

I had to stop your video to comment on your remark about Gary Peacock's playing with Keith Jarrett. I could never put my finger on it but I always felt there was something special about Gary and Keith playing together. Keith was lucky to find someone like Gary who seemed to know how to play "perfectly" with him.

Shearing!

With Counterpoint, Fux around, find out.

There are lots of good counterpoint textbooks, but Job IJzerman's "Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento" is a good place to start.

ducking great lesson, Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, am a kind of intermediate level jazz guitar player who was a massive music theory nerd before ever playing. Just wanted to say your videos are an absolute goldmine for applying theory to improvisation, appreciate you sharing your knowledge and expertise to everyone watching :)

Farging bastages! Thanks Jeremy!

Nice lesson
The best example of counterpoint in jazz to me is the Duke Ellington orchestra and Charles Mingus

Also, the Barry Harris 6/dim system is great for making counterpoint quickly and easily in jazz

Would a "round" like "Row Row, Row Your Boat" be considered counterpoint?
