Love this. I worked at a jazz club near the end of his life, where he'd play maybe twice a year. One day this guy (who was a regular and was just the worst) came up and insisted Pat had put him on...
In general I think this gets a bad rap. Grant Green will use the same lick over the same place in a tune on four choruses in a row. I'm quite left-brain, as I think we've established, but the...
Also I am particularly interested in hearing about nevershouldavesoldit's approach because he is a very good player.
Well if I meet a stranger on the street, the pollen count and "geez this allergy season is brutal" are generally acceptable topics for small talk. The alternative, not so much. So yes. Generally I...

Oh, I wanted that one so badly but had just gotten a Tokai ES and there was no way I could swing it. But that was the nicest looking Exrubato I think I've ever seen. My Albatross Custom (CTM)...
Thank-You/Grazie mille, PrincePlanet! Can I print your whole post and put it on the wall on my workshop?? :smile-new: Ettore
And I thought it was funny. I was trying to say in a lighthearted way that I think ideas can't flow freely from a mind that's blocked up with rules and constraints. Would a stuffy nose be a more...
