Oh, I see what you mean now, thanks! Yes, the hammer-nail saying is very true, painfully.
Youre playing 16ths at 320? Mr Holdsworth? Is that you?
Sure I guess so. C7 is a fine sub for Em7b5 and vice versa, but you can make anything a ii-V if you think hard enough. To a hammer, every problem is a nail. Just seems like in the key of C, I’d...
Oh I should do that, then I can give them the “in jazz, we play in all 12 keys” bit.

With my big band I wear custom-mold earplugs with a -25dB filter on the side away from the band (pretty much always my right) and a solid plug on the side facing the band because I find the horns...
