JazzKeys.fyi – Tutorials for jazz and funk keyboard players
Web developer and jazz piano player here. I’ve just launched JazzKeys.fyi (https://JazzKeys.fyi), a website of tutorials covering bebop, modern jazz, blues and funk. It’s more or less a brain dump of some of what I’ve learned over the course of playing and studying jazz for ~25 years.

Web developer and jazz piano player here. I’ve just launched JazzKeys.fyi (https://JazzKeys.fyi), a website of tutorials covering bebop, modern jazz, blues and funk. It’s more or less a brain dump of some of what I’ve learned over the course of playing and studying jazz for ~25 years. I would likely have found it useful back when I started, and I created it in the hope that it might be helpful to others. The main audience for the site is people who already have some facility in playing a keyboard instrument (in any genre), and who want to learn jazz or improve their jazz playing. It assumes a basic understanding of how scales and chords work. Building the animated keyboard that accompanies each musical example was quite a rewarding technical challenge. For anyone interested in the details, there is a blog post about it at https://www.jamieonkeys.dev/posts/piano-keyboard-javascript/. I hope folk find the site to be a helpful resource. Feedback and bug reports welcome!

But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
