TEXT: [email protected] MARKER: Red Garland voicings - RH octaves with perfect 5th btwn MARKER: - while LHand plays rootless voicings phrased with the RH MARKER: Oscar Peterson-like LH pedal (with grace notes) on dominant MARKER: More of the Red Garland 'like a bigband horn section' sound MARKER: Block chords - in close position - LH doubles melody below chord with RH MARKER: More Red Garland! MARKER: Another Peterson-like pedal on dominant in LH - often on turnarounds MARKER: RH single note lines - LH stabs ahead of the downbeats on 1 and 3 MARKER: Tremolo on Octave - 16th notes MARKER: On Am7/D7 fast chromatic from D up to tritone (Ab) MARKER: Then back to F and chromatically up to B (its tritone) as target MARKER: On Bbdim, similar chromatic connections to C,F#,Eb,A MARKER: Not very successful tag ending added as an afterthought!

Instructions
If you have a Bluetooth-MIDI adapter installed in your Disklavier and are using an app (such as PianoStream), you can stream these MIDI files right from your Apple device to your piano.
Otherwise, you can put them on a USB stick. Files will be playable natively on newer Disklaviers, such as the Mark IV, E3, and ENSPIRE. You can see my Disklavier compatibility table to see which instruments support USB.
For older generations of Disklavier using floppy disks or Nalbantov USB emulators, see my article on converting MIDI files to E-SEQ and creating PIANODIR.FIL.
