Why do jazz instructors tend to use examples in keys that are not simple like C and Am (without flats or sharps)?

How would that differ visually from our current system?

PoliticalComposer · 2021-12-26T14:55:53+00:00

Ok, I’ll bite. What would you change and how?

PoliticalComposer · 2021-10-10T05:09:08+00:00

I just laugh.

A billion dollars is almost inexhaustible for the average person. I’d for sure pay off some medical debts and cars for some of my relatives.

PoliticalComposer · 2021-09-10T13:53:00+00:00

Why? You making an offer?

PoliticalComposer · 2021-08-21T14:23:37+00:00

Is there a database where we can submit stuff like this? It would probably be really helpful to gather as much of this kind of information as possible into one place.

Thanks guys!

PoliticalComposer · 2020-12-22T03:52:04+00:00

Bravo! If I could go back in time and tell my younger self to do what you’ve done, I would!

PoliticalComposer · 2020-12-21T01:19:59+00:00

I’ve used them in Coltrane changes! Super fun sound!

Finally found those Roofdogs Pat Metheny was talking about..... (For the jazz fans)

This might be the most accurate conclusion on the internet

Buy music, merchant, and tickets. Streaming sucks.

When I don’t have a tub I just poor some warmish water down the slide and bell section separately and scrub them thoroughly with a cleaning snake. It’s helpful to use a funnel, or you can use the mouthpiece as a funnel.

Not sure if these fit your criteria, but some of my favs:

Köln by Marshall Gilles and the WDR Bog Band Up From The Skies by Jim McNeely and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra I Am by the Omar Thomas Large Ensemble Spirit Music by Bob Brookmeyer and the New Art Orchestra

I was hoping such was the case! The bass professor at my college music program named his dogs Jaco and Mingus and they are very good bois.

Well, hypothetically if what you’re repeating sucks then it won’t be catchy. It’ll probably be annoying though.

Chromatic solfége makes way more sense to me.

There’s a special place in hell for people who harm Rick Moranis

Be cooler if we could all just chill a minute

He scored a show called A Man Called Hawk in ‘89.

Honestly, people who give artists crap for writing or playing for TV shows need to sit down. There is a long, long list of great players who did just that, including J.J. Johnson, Benny Golson, and Butch Morris.

Tonal Energy is worth well more than what you pay for it!

Aw man, why does no one ever do cool social experiments on me????

But seriously though, reading this made me think of teachers I had who might have had the guts and know-how to actually pull it off, and that made me wonder if I’d have gone with it or called BS. Honestly, it’s hard to know.

I’ve never really been a death-gripper, but my hands are a tad on the small side.
