Just Sayin'.

I taught Dennis when he was at the Curtis Institute.

I could not believe how good his ears and his memory were. He could face the other way, I could play some 4 mallet stuff and he would come over and play it back. He was a freak.

I just saw this tonight. Dennis is something else!

I've been listening to a lot of pianists and slow blues, trying to replicate the staccato stride kind of style. Here's "In a Sentimental Mood!"

Your imagination is only limited by what you know!

I love this quote and it sums up everything for me.

I know what it means to me, what does it mean to you?

Let's figure out the first class for I'll Remember April.

How about the 15th. 7pm EST, I could also do 8pm as well.

Remember if you want to take the class:

Playing with Tony on a blues! Super fun.

Hey everyone -- This is Quincy Jones's "Jessica's Day." Always working on my stride playing...

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all well and taking care to stay that way.
February's Good Vibes is coming up soon (7th and 10th). It's a varied, eclectic show of jazz standards ("If You Could See Me Now") and new compositions ("Thanks, But No Thanks") traditionalists ("If I Were A Bell") and modern ("Aamos"), all tied together by our favorite instrument.
Let's not forget a half-hour of Where Jazz Goes - The Rolling Stones, Sting and Lennon/McCartney compositions, for example.
