In this vintage Homespun video series, sit down with Mac Rebennack (a.k.a. Dr John) as he performs his remarkable music, discusses his influences, and shares early musical memories and intriguing stories of a life in the music business.
The two-time Grammy Award winner and celebrated ambassador of New Orleans music covers more than thirty songs in this two-hour session, from traditional blues to his sophisticated arrangements of songs by composers such as Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and Doc Pomus. Our overhead camera provides up-close views of his hands as Mac plays the licks, turnarounds, chord progressions and unique voicings that make him an incomparably influential musician.
The material in this video series represents a goldmine of musical knowledge and a rare opportunity to hear Dr John's solo piano (he does not normally perform without a band). It can be viewed and studied as an in-depth master class, or can be watched and enjoyed for its documentary and entertainment value alone. Either way, this session will provide many hours of fascinating viewing and listening for Mac's legions of avid fans.

It was just what I was looking for.
I wanted something I could show to my 14 year old and there is no better than Dr. John for the style and in the videos I watched he explained very well and the visual was great.

No tutorial but still fabulous to watch and disect
The vids are short and sweet, almost exclusively of the man playing his favorite tunes with tiny tidbits of song backgrounds. The vids aren't a how-to in any sense (so probably not very useful to beginners) but if you have some theory, you can watch closely and figure out what rhythms, scales and harmony he uses, all of which makes his playing so wonderful. The overhead shots are very good in terms of capturing what he's playing including all the way down to the lowest keys (I've seen others elsewhere that cut off the top and bottom of the keyboard!)
