It's time to discover, learn, and play jazz piano. It's time to discover, learn, and play the jazz standard Rosetta. This video presents the various chord/scale relationships I use when improvising over this jazz standard. Rosetta was composed by Earl "Fatha" Hines. There are several wonderful recordings of this jazz standard that you should listen to as you begin formulating your personal treatment of this fabulous tune. Here are a just few of my favorites renditions:
1. Ray Charles (https://youtu.be/2QuFrKwX5yE)
2. Joe Pass (https://youtu.be/-gbMvEoYxwg)
3. Lester Young (https://youtu.be/jq8Bq2Qm1-E)
4. Earl Hines (https://youtu.be/0PpC3HDvujU)
5. Nat King Cole (https://youtu.be/PGvcM_9zTJQ)
As a professional jazz pianist, I would recommend learning the melody, progression, and voicings for Rosetta before exploring improvisation using chord/scale relationships.
