How to Play Latin Jazz Piano

Video Transcript

My name is Austin McBride and I'm here on behalf of Expertvillage.com. Today I'm going to show you how to pay some Latin Jazz piano. Latin jazz is based in jazz chords, however, it's syncopates differently it's very rhythm and syncopation savvy and thus is less radio friendly here in the States, it's a little bit harder to come by. Occasionally you'll hear something with a Latin jazz feel; Santana and Rob Thomas had it something that kind of had that Latin feel to it. Today we're working with a simple chord progression. This is G sharp minor, C sharp minor, to E flat major. I will be working with that and I'll be showing you some of the syncopation patterns that we use. So rather in normal jazz we would be doing (playing a rhythm) or something like that as far as rhythm is concerned. With Latin Jazz it will be more jumpy and bounding back and forth in a certain way (playing Latin chords). And that is in a nutshell how you play the basics of Latin Jazz.
