‘Hymn To Freedom’ – (Oscar Peterson) – jazz/gospel piano lesson
‘Hymn To Freedom’ – (Oscar Peterson) – jazz/gospel piano lesson. I have since found that there is a transcription of one of Oscar’s versions. Those who are looking for a fairly simple one to play could perhaps play the first piano-only chorus of this. This was improvised from a basic leadsheet with chords and melody. This leadsheet, and a full printable transcription are on my DVD – for over 9 hours of video and over 140 transcriptions www.bushgrafts.com

Note to all … Buy Dave’s CD
I did and I’m glad I did.
You won’t be disappointed.

I love this!
I especially love the progression throughout the performance, from the fairly straight Hymn-like block chords towards the start, which then loosens up, and of couse the much freer style of playing in the trio. I can almost hear a Hammond B3 in the background
On another note, I thought the seamless way you brought the rest of the trio in half way through was your best to date. Fantastic, loved it!
