One of the best ways to improve your jazz playing is learning other people’s solos or songs.  Different people have different ideas about this.  Some people think that you must learn them by ear and memorize them as you go.  Others say it is okay to write them down as you go.  Try starting off [...]]]></description>

John Ellis from New Orleans is one of the great saxophonists around right now. He is soulful, creative and melodic. I love what he has to say about playing his original music in an interview from &#8220;All About Jazz&#8221; by Jason Crane&#8230;

Here is a recording I did earlier this year with the band {{{Sunset}}} from their new CD called &#8220;Glowing City&#8221;.  Awesome stuff by Bill Baird, who is formerly of the band Soundteam, and also happens to live in my neighborhood.  Bill is super creative and prolific and always has 10 new songs he wants to work [...]]]></description>

I just found out that Swedish pianist Esbjorn Svennson passed away on June 14th in a diving accident. His playing was beautiful and melodic&#8230; It had an interesting blend of classical, jazz and rock styles. His trio had been playing together since 1993. He was the first European jazz musician to grace the cover of [...]]]></description>

5 wrong notes
2 missing turns
3 notes that they added which didn&#8217;t exist
1 missing note
3 wrong rhythms
And that&#8217;s just the first song! 
I recommend checking with the recording before you assume any transcriptions are correct.  Why don&#8217;t they hire me to re-edit and re-release it?  Anyway, it keeps [...]]]></description>

Hang up your clothes to dry.  With global warming, it hardly takes any time at all to dry your clothes on a clothesline!  It is a lot cheaper than a dryer, doesn&#8217;t use electricity (save even more money!) and your clothes last longer because there is less wear and tear on them.  Why not?  If you have a dryer and [...]]]></description>
