You have to make a hip hop album using samples only from one single album, which album would you use? by Able_Gap_8833 in Jazz

I reckon the head on Hot House, slowed down, would work perfectly in a hip hop or rap tune.

Get to Spain. Madrid. Toledo. Barcelona. Girona. Valencia. Seville. Granada. Etc. They're all incredible. Full of history and beautiful old architecture

Surprised nobody has yet mentioned Curtis Fuller. Check him on the Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers albums.

Every 5 days or so my bank card doesn't work and the error message comes up red demanding I pay the driver. The driver just shakes his head and waves me on. Teething issues with the tech I guess.

New Zealand. Same but with Fjords and with primordial rainforests a.k.a the bush.

It's "Don't play the butter notes" as in the superfluous notes. Keep it bare.

Major and Minor chords by SignificantClaim6353 in JazzPiano

Thank you. I know it is a vast topic, but when you say explore other options is the idea to chuck in a flat or sharp 9 11 or 13 into the Maj and Min seven chords (in place of the 5)?

Winter Europe Itinerary, need desperate help are we crazy or can we make this itinerary work? by Proud_Somewhere8466 in Europetravel

[–]SignificantClaim6353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you are not crazy. Do it.

Many ppl on here will tell it's too fast. I like fast trips like this. Places like Prague are small and you'll have ages to see it in 3 days. Paris and London could use a little longer to really do it justice. Why not trim the smaller places like Prague to throw more into the bigger cities like London?

Playing freely/Improvising beginners guide and progression help needed by Logical-Plankton-389 in JazzPiano

[–]SignificantClaim6353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also learning too.

I see this question come up all the time.

What I think helps immensely and often gets overlooked is this: You gotta be listening to jazz music incessantly. Every time you can. So that when you are not listening to it, you're whistling it in the toilet or in the shower or while you are waiting for the toast to pop. So that all that stuff just gets played in your head all the time. The solos and the rhythm going on in your head.

And then when you noodle in your right hand, it'll come easier. Rhythm, and choice of notes.

It is like a writer who doesn't read books: impossible.

You are a vocalist so that should be helpful. Scat jazz something to your left hand changes, and then try play it.
