Solo piano clip of 2 choruses of Harold Arlen's "Over The Rainbow" with Keith Jarrett changes along with modulation as follows: first A in Eb, second A in F, bridge in F and last A in Db. This was taped during my Berklee improv class this past summer by pianist Ricardo Curto.

Seven Rungs of Resistance By Wynton Marsalis

Check this out.

--------------------------
Seven Rungs of Resistance
There are 7 basic rungs of resistance up the ladder of artistic success

1. Ignorance - Not your fault. Generally the result of a polluted environment. No one
knows, so you don't know.
Example: You think funk is jazz.

2. Miseducation - Your teachers are well meaning, but just don't know. It's no one's
fault. Example: someone tells you, you have to study classical music to become a jazz
musician. Bad advice.

3. Personal difficulties - You just have some major personal problems to overcome.

The Importance of Posture and getting older

Over the last couple weeks ive been dealing with a abdominal injury from loading a keyboard at a reggae gig over halloween and then played a vibe gig the day after which really put me out of commission. Because of this injury i havent been able to stand and play at the vibes for a couple weeks at any length. This got me thinking, wow im not 20 anymore. lol

Carolyn's Transcribing Blog: First rehearsal

Alright...working hard on the solo, but in the meantime, here is a recording from rehearsing with my friend Beth last weekend. This was our first rehearsal aside from the day we sightread, and I'd say we're making progress. We're getting used to listening to each other and learning how we play together.
Not a bad start, eh? :)
