I think back now as an old man - as many do. I still have the flame burning strong inside of me that is as vibrant as the flame I kindled when I was a young man in search of music and all the important things in life. But it's more…
Dan here's the etude I promised you.
It would be great if you recorded a version for the site.

Do people like us still make CD's? Is there a point to doing that? I'm curious because things have changed so much since I was active in it full time. What is the standard media product for artists like us? Recordings have pretty much…

I hear some stuff similar to Walt Dickerson. I mean the out playing. The instrument does lend itself to playing a lot of crazy notes. I think when musical players do this it's great.
I posted a lesson recently where I posted the voicings and you guys supply the rhythms. Here is an etude of my rhythms and chords.
You put the chords in. It will help you memorize them. Note the upper partials and add them in as well.…
Here's a simple study to get you started with the 'bebop' blues. I always thought of the 'Blues For Alice' changes as a rebellion against the blues. Maybe this is not accurate but it explains a couple things for me personally. When you…
