Let me start this off by telling you an interesting story about chess players. You guys might know the story already. There are chess players who can play anywhere from 2 to 100 games at the same time blindfolded and remember each board of all the games. Chess players can recall games from years ago and play through them showing you all the moves onboth sides.

This another short practice video working on "Tangerine." There is a brief warm up then a take of the arrangement I have been working on. If anyone is interested, I can write it out and post a pdf. The next step is putting it all together with some improvising.
I am doing a lot of teaching this semester. Probably the most I have ever done. It's really hard for a musician to turn work down. Well for me it is.
It's a lot of fun teaching students who practice and work hard. Not as much fun teaching students with lots of excuses.
I do have a bunch of good students though so that helps. Here's an exercise I made for one of them to work on the Bebop dom scale. Learn it, memorize it and play it fast!!!!
