Since we are talking about different and strange keyboards:

Chinese Translation for Chinese students
這個練習可以幫助你止音的技巧、即興更加旋律性。
選一個音，作為固定低音，比如說C
試著找出含有這個音的音階，做單旋律的即興，同時演奏完一個音，
就止掉那個音。保持乾淨的旋律。
含有這個音的音階，比如說
C major
Db major
Bb major
G major
F major
F# Lydian
A minor……
你可以同時練習止音技巧、即興更有旋律性、也可以研究釐清一些音樂理論。

We all new he would become a serious contender in a short time....

I found that very interesting video... very parallel with the video posted recently by Tony

"Have You Met Miss Jones" - At home today practicing with playing this great standard in various keys. Here's a clip (5 choruses) starting in F and then going up a minor 3rd for each chorus and eventually ending back in F. The bridge is a little tricky since it goes through 3 keys a major 3rd apart.

Learn this. Memorize it and then we can talk about it!

For many years now, I've been working with a local arts organization, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts (https://hopartscenter.org/). For the past several years I've organized what we've called the Sunset Jazz Concert series -- 6 to 8 outdoor jazz concerts during the summers on Saturday nights.

Two years ago, through some herculean fund raising, the HCA managed to complete building a new performance/gallery/instruction facility. At this time I added a monthly jam session, now on the 2nd Friday night of each month.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

David Friedman will be here Oct 14th. I wanted to have a vibe hang for him. Any of you guys interested? Any New York guys want to take a ride down?

Let me know what you think in the comments.
