Let's face it, not every gig allows us to play the difficult and hip jazz tunes we all spend hours shedding. Even many of the best known standards are completely foreign (and possibly boring) to a large section of general audiences today…
Hey everyone,
I just read Tony's post about putting your work online... So, here I am!
This is a free improv I did some weeks ago.
Actually, I had in my mind some landscapes and atmosphere from a book, a novel named "La Horde du…
I thought this was pretty funny! The guy actually plays some good stuff here. Watch the cigarette go to his hand and back to his mouth... hilarious... at least that's what I thought...
Anyway, this is what you end up with if you go out and…

It's a little strange to me that more people aren't talking about what they're working on, posting what they're practicing, putting there stuff on the line. This is something I'll never get. I try to assume that most of you guys aren't…
A lot of times when I practice, I hit an interval and it reminds me of something I've heard before. Then I have to learn that tune. I heard an interval from Crepuscule with Nellie, by Thelonious Munk. I didn't have a lead sheet so I…

This is the first chorus of Steve Nelson playing a solo over Beautiful Love. I also posted part of it as a pdf, but I just started transcribing today so it's only a part and I think there are some parts wrong. but I'm working on it.
