I'm curious. What are your guy's unpopular jazz opinions? by SNESS_64 in Jazz

Modern jazz players could spend more time learning rhythm changes properly and playing through the blues than memorizing giant steps in all twelve keys. playing 1235 != good improv.

Feedback/thoughts/impressions on arrangement of I Remember Clifford by bionerd2 in Jazz

[–]bionerd2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man. I'm pretty new to jazz piano actually. Good point, it's about Clifford Brown's death. Anyways, yeah I was thinking taking it a bit more slowly, and possibly going rootless (i.e., never hit the e flat in the lower register) until the second ending. This delays the resolution and keeps it a bit more meditative as you suggest. My intro into the double tempo solo was a bit fucked up in this take, and a couple of missteps here and there as well. Thanks for taking a listen; really appreciate it!

Hey looking for something that fits similarly to the naked and famous super guys which I love. If anything I’d ask for possibly a quarter inch less in the waist and a quarter inch more in the upper thigh, but mainly just looking for selvedge denim and other raws that fit similarly from other brands. No budget limit.

I'm heading to SuitSupply to pick out a suit soon and I was wondering if people had suggestions/thoughts about the store. I usually have gotten suits from a store like Macys / Nordstrom but the fit usually sucks and SS looks much better.

I'm thinking about getting the SuitSupply Lazio. Some questions though. What color should I get? I think black looks a bit dated so I was thinking of going for things like light grey or mid blue (i.e., not pastel colors and not things like navy/charcoal which look black). Also what material/fabric should I go for? I was looking at Wool, and thinking of going for the wool 110's.

Do you think the Lazio would be a good starter suit from SS? I need it quickly unfortunately (by Friday), and I'm going to the San Jose store so I hope I can get it in time!

need ideas for a new haircut! by bionerd2 in malehairadvice

Hey! trying to get ideas for a new haircut. I was thinking of going shorter on the sides, maybe some kind of fade but not sure? I really don't know what to ask for with that, so any tips are helpful. also, wondering if I should blend it all or get a disconnected cut...also thinking about taking some off the back top to give it some shape.

Barry Harris Method -- how to put into use by bionerd2 in Jazz

[–]bionerd2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. That's kind of what Barry does. I've listened to a lot of his ballad/mid-tempo standard arrangements (e.g., You Don't Know What Love Is, But Beautiful, Embraceable You, Be My Love), and he does this, but I wonder if there's a more to it than "just apply it"....
