This was before Pat recieved the magical striped sweater that made him infallible.

This is a common myth. Most people don’t know Pat was actually born in the sweater.

It's iconic, but I wonder if he even wore it that much lol

Probably more accurate in the actual learning of jazz would be dinner prep at my house

1. Make dessert, put in fridge
2. Go to market to get stuff for dinner
3. Marinate the chicken and make a salad dressing.
4. Go to the garden to get veggies for salad
5. Recieve phone call from 14 year old, asking if Ahmir and Henry can join us for dinner
6. Go back to market to frantically get 2 more chicken breasts.
7. Begin cooking, dog informs you she needs to be walked "right the fuck now or else."
8. Check jazzguitar.be while walking dog
9. Get chicken on grill, wife calls, traffic bad, can we eat at 7:30 instead of 7
10. 14 year old and buddies arrive at house eating French fries from a greasy bag
11. Suddenly remember dessert needs two more things done to it
12. 12 year old calls, says he's eating at Patrick's house because his mom "makes really good sloppy Joe's, you should ask her how she does it"
13. Get chicken off grill at 7:18pm just as wife arrives home.
14. 14 year old boys ravenously eat chicken before salad is even dressed.
15. 12 year old arrives home at 8pm, says "I'm hungry."


This is meant to be funny, but also, I think fitting...learning jazz is not linear...you're going to need to watch a few pots on the stove at the same time.

Ya know..French Fries with that chicken breast sounds wonderful...like G13 to Bb13..Eb9 to C9..

At last, after many years of practice, I've finally got my Jazz guitar playing to sound like our national dish: "Fish and Chips".
Considering, it's mostly imported Fish, but with chips made from home grown Yorkshire and Lincolnshire potatoes. (Potatoes originally from South America)

I know some guys who used to play gigs at Poppies.

I don't miss meat at all having gone vegetarian. That thing looks like it's about to slither away.

No, battered Fish is alive and well.

Morally, I'd like to be a vegetarian, but my taste buds don't.

I'm not a fan anymore. I don't want to eat a poor creature. Feels all wack to me. My veggie food is delux too.

I'm hella into it. I'm always excited about what I'm gonna cook up because it's so tasty.

[mr. beaumont]

Vegetables? But that's what food eats!

I've tried a few times, but I can't get the nutrition right. The example I always use is eating 7 black bean tacos then being full and completely starving at the same time.

[Strat-itis]

You just have to supplement protein.

[AllanAllen]

fwiw wes plays it like the old RB version

2nd A of his solo has the Eb-

2nd A of the head, piano player hits a clear E natural on top of the chord. Eb-7b9?

i can’t tell what notes the bass is, too woofy for me.

Why would Bar 5 be F- when the melody is the same as bar 1 modulated up a fourth? Melody goes to IV, harmony goes to ii?

I formally rescind your citizenship of this scepter’d isle
