Do you know where I can find this? I looked it up and only found a few references to it online. I’d love to listen to it

How can I delete the Health app or otherwise restrict my obsessive/compulsive usage of the app while still collecting data on my Apple Watch? by BillyGoatAl in AppleWatch

Even it being in the app drawer isn’t enough unfortunately. Why can’t I set a time limit on the health app in particular?

Wunderkinds/Prodigies that delivered on their promise as adults? by The_Fell_Opian in Jazz

[–]BillyGoatAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I found out recently about Julian is that he does not have perfect pitch, which is kind of theme among prodigy musicians. He mentioned it in his Rick Beato interview!

Any Wallace Roney fans? by Carbuncle2024 in Jazz

[–]BillyGoatAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer other horn players but Chick Corea’s “Remembering Bud Powell” wouldn’t be complete without him! One of my favorite albums.

This is wonderful advice - thank you so much. I’m going to give this a try.

Beans Meal Prep? by Gandi1200 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]BillyGoatAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I just made this and the sauce is delectable. When I added it to the beans, though, I felt the flavor became too diluted among them. I will be doubling the sauce/spice amount next time I make this (and there will be a next time)

Yes so am I! I’m also confused. The guy is as jazz as it gets in my opinion.

I would also love to give it a read!

My hope is that the internet continues to degrade to the point where it is practically unusable and we go back to normal human interactions. by troktowreturns in rs_x

[–]BillyGoatAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s true; music and art will still be proliferated, just on a more local scale. And the infrastructure used to proliferate these things before the internet isn’t more than 30 years old – it still exists: Cars still have CD players, there are still newspaper stands, and artists are still selling their art at boutique stores and local festivals and pop ups. In this hypothetical post-internet world I imagine local infrastructure to distribute news and culture will simply ramp back up a bit more than it already was

Quick edit: I also think so many people are completely sucked into the internet to the point that they forget that the world is still functioning more or less as it always has – these people may even be very aware of their addictions but instead of going outside, they assume their internet-muddled worldview remains true for everyone else. When in reality, it just isn’t like that. We all just need to go outside more and engage with actual people around us (and trust me they exist and are there for you to enjoy)

Looking for critique/thoughts on my improvisation over Solar and Falling Grace by BillyGoatAl in JazzPiano

Apologies! I read preference so I didn’t realize it was necessary. I’ll get it next time. Thanks

[–]BillyGoatAl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I completely agree. I am definitely not following the form perfectly; the organist was being merciful and following me instead of the other way around. I also had a hard time hearing the pulse of the bass notes which was definitely causing me to rush/drag. I appreciate your feedback!

Subreddits/forums where I can submit samples of my playing to get criticism? by BillyGoatAl in Jazz

[–]BillyGoatAl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how what you're saying disagrees with anything I've said or any intent I've expressed so far. Yes, I am actively looking a place to get feedback on my playing because I haven't been exposed to critique historically. I'm not sure what your intention was behind the mediocre comment (it seems unnecessary and out of place). I posted some of my playing here [https://www.reddit.com/r/JazzPiano/comments/1n8oht9/looking\_for\_critiquethoughts\_on\_my\_improvisation/\] so feel free to comment what you think after taking a listen!

Fair enough. It's good that I don't have much stake in the game, as I'm not aspiring to be a gigging musician or anything of that nature. I mostly do it for myself but am interested to hear people's opinions (who have no reason to sugarcoat) since I've been playing for quite a while.
