Jazz Piano Comping EXPLAINED!

In this lesson, I give a FULL BREAKDOWN of my comping over the Duke Ellington tune "Do Nothing Til' You Hear From Me" as performed with the Rodney Whitaker Group at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe in Grosse Pointe, MI 4/17/22. In this analysis we examine comping voicings, comping rhythms, comping textures and how the melody informs your comping.
