Incredible
Thank you!
Beautiful music... Thank you for sharing it with us, Kent!
I so much appreciate your comment...all the best!
Both versions are beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks a bunch!
Absolutely gorgeous
Great comment...thanks!
Excellent! I love the notes in the music about the voicings. Definitely can get a lot more than just the tune out of this arrangement.
Thank you very much!
this is wonderful! the score is very instructional!
Appreciated...thanks for telling me.
this is wonderful!
Thanks a million!
Thanks Mr. Kent!
Thanks for watching and writing!
♥♫♫♥ totally lovely! Thanks, Kent! XO - M
Marilyn, your comments are the best!
Really lovely Kent. I was singing along at one point and then imagining myself sitting in a hotel lounge with a "Cosmopolitan " in my hand enjoying your beautiful playing. Thanks so much. I often sing this as it suits my voice and people request it.
Thanks, Corinne, I've done those hotel lounge gigs...been there done that. The only one I do any more is the Ocean House in Watch Hill, RI...quite a place! Stop in some time!
I've been working on this today and it has really been very helpful in giving me some pointers on harmonic movement in particular. It's a lovely arrangement. Thank you.
Thanks for telling me...I'm glad it was helpful.
Amazing. No words or explinations needed. I was always having trouble in distinguising/knowing there was two (at least) ways of playing a song. Thanks!
That's an interesting point....check out my video on different ways to play Someone To Watch Over Me and Autumn Leaves.
Kent Hewitt will do!
This is so beautiful 😍
Awesome...thanks!
Thank you so much, Kent!
Thank you!
I dowloaded the sheet. Great rearm ideas in the left hand ( bass mouvement ) ... a lot to work me ! thank you 🙏
Glad you like it!
Kent I love your doubled melodies with the left hand and block chords :)
Kent you are a legend :)
Humble thanks!
Kent, I’ve got this sheet music if your arrangement in my current rotation and just love it. I’ve heard a lot of versions of this song and I’m not exaggerating when I say I think it is more beautiful than the famous Erroll Garner version. Thank you!
You are a cat....thanks Rick...that's a great compliment!!!! Nobody greater than Erroll.
beautiful
Appreciated!
It's so cool to hear the quick bit you play at around 1:08 in a different context, I immediately recognized it from your "As Time Goes By" video.
Lucas musicians develope their own sound through what excersizes they choose to practice and focus on. Guitarists I think are especially full of the own particular sound, since technical effects are so numerous (picking, plucking, hammer on, pull off, slides, bends). I agree that Kent has a well rounded sound. Pulling from all his knowledge while arranging or improving, his phrases flow nicely because he uses his techniques musically.
Good for you! I get a lot of those kind of ideas from George Shearing...one of my all time heroes.
Amazing
Much appreciated!
Man, I could listen to your playing by the hour. I punched play to get a tip or two and wound up just floating away on your music.
Hey, Jon Streeter, agree about Kent’s playing; I doubt I could ever learn to play anything like he does so I just float away on it; i bought his jazz book, and love it; it’s my Musical Holy Bible!

I probably should order one. I’ve diligently avoided learning to sight read. I play everything by ear, but I sure don’t sound like Kent.
I have a few amateurish videos here on CZcams which I post for family and friends.
I haven’t yet encountered a metronome that could keep up with me, and my chords are mine, not the right ones, but I play anyway.
Nice conversation....stay in touch, thank you and Happy Holidays!
I love it
Appreciated!
Simply fantastic! Beautiful playing--both versions. (Even though Max is a lefty, if I have to pick between the two, I like version one the best.)
I agree I wish it was more automatic for me like the 2nd version. A lot of work goes into the arrangement, writing it and learning it But I learn more that way. Thanks!.
I'm sure in the second version you're quoting really nicely Erroll Garner's classic version (man I've listened him so much :)
Absolutely Awesome
Thanks so much!
Really good. I think the left hand is most important.
That's exactly correct, thank you!
Barry Harris always said the left hand is the "pretty hand"
Fabuloso KH ¡!!!!
Thanks so much!
Top player and teacher thanks. Piano tuning ?
Thanks....we tune 4 times a year....but live on the shore.
Man, I'd love to see the sheet with the left hand precisely noted, but for the money such a beautiful arrangement you have gifted.
I have the left hand notated the first version I played in this video. I don't have the left hand on all my free scores but many do have notes written out. Just check some other scores, and also my playlists on chords ...some deal with left hand techniques exclusively.

0:25 Ooooh that last high "G" note up there... Gotta tune it ;)
BenJogan ive noticed that note is notorious for going out of tune! I know of several pianos where that is the case.
This was originally recorded at an earlier date (see the link). Our piano has been recently tuned (judge by the newest dated videos posted).
Thanks! Btw I didn't say that to complain, sorry. Absolutely this is a wonderful performance and lovely arrangement :) I love all of your lessons! It's just that recently I've been tuning a piano with bad mechanics and it's pretty stressful to make it keep the tune... now every little note that "vibrates" too much makes me jump! Ahah
Hey Kent, I was wondering what your thoughts would be on how to change the key from C13 flat 9 to C6/9 smoothly? Are there any progressions from the C13 b9 that lead to the C6/9?
Thanks, god bless.
Anything's possible...if your ears like it. C7b9 most often moves to F major or Fm (or F7).C diminished could move directly to C69. Tones (or partials) tend to move chromatically up or down or stepwise. Try this progression: C7b9 - Fmaj9 - Db9 - C69. (A lot of chromatic moves there).
Also, is Misty1.pdf available? - for the in time version
There's a score on my website for the first version. The 2nd version I just used a lead sheet. If you need a lead sheet feel free to email me.
I love this video! But the Link is not working :(
Thanks! The links are working on my end. You have to wait a few seconds at the end for the link pictures to appear.
This is like the dream I used to have when I find A
18 wheeler truck full of thousand dollar bills
And I can't take enough of it with me
I usually end up not getting any money
Trying to be so greedy
By just handful handful at a time
and come back and get some more
The hARDest part is practicingSlowly emphasize ON accuracy
That way I can retain the knowledgeEasier said than done
Thanks again
Practicing slowly is very important and gradually increasing the tempo over time to master a piece. I had to do this to play Part 1. Thank you!
