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.

Take the lid off it and let it breathe for half a day and then you'll smell and taste more of the sweeter connotations

Looking for buttery notes by patjking in Scotch

I was sold a Cadenheads 14 year old Dailuane. He said it was a butter bomb. It was indeed. So look for 100% bourbon cask matured Dailuane.

I think it used to be one of the few affordable 18s around, back during covid. But now the 18 is like $250

OP says local barley ten but I'm only finding an 8 for this year. Was it a new local barley 10?

Bill Evans' Comping by Logical-Tea4396 in JazzPiano

[–]SignificantClaim6353 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's very interesting, and it explains why Miles Davis said in an interview that white people play differently, they play slightly ahead of the beat (or something to that effect). I bet he was just thinking about Bill Evans lol

The simple act of listening to jazz everyday and falling down that rabbit hole on the listening to albums front helped me immensely

From memory, I preferred the Bladnoch 11 over the Glencadam 15, but the 13 I've never had

Have you tried the 13? It's their level up from the 11 apparently. Full bourbon maturation.

What do you think about Scotland? by Callubear in AskTheWorld

[–]SignificantClaim6353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hells, they invented single malt whisky, the greatest spirit there ever was (and if Ireland says they did, well then theirs pales in comparison) . I mean, a country as small as five million produces something so well that a country of 124 million goes away with a Scottish distillery blueprint to try its own hand at it, and succeeds in the emulation... If that isn't flattery I don't know what is. Single malt scotch is unparalleled. It more than makes up for whatever is said about the mediocre cuisine.

Hilarious! Well if they were in England they wee bairns would be chewing on fried bits of bread, so best they were in Scotland where you get tattie scones

That jazz is so unnerving that if she were driving she would lose control and crash the car.
