You're almost there mate. Don't stop! Weird thing is, for the last 7 or 8 months ALL I've been listening to is Jazz. Can't get enough of it. Miles Davis used to miss out notes and half-valve notes - you're just ahead of the curve!!! AS for the Pooch - everyone's a critic! :) PS - have a great 2020.
Hi Jeff, thanks mate... life... it's all a work in progress. I keep discovering new ways to play this thing called life. Love the Clarinet and the Jazz too but I'm surrounded by different musical tastes (mostly country) that doesn't really include much Jazz. I've actually been jamming a lot to 'Psychill Ambient' stuff. It repeats but it's not too repetitive (every Jazz players nightmare) and allows me to practice my scales. Some of the places it carries me away to... I really must record more. It's good to see you still doing your thing Jeff, who knows what 'all that Jazz' will bring out next. :) I've never learned to read music and the one thing I have learned from that is that as long as I know my scales and my way around them, the rest follows/flows. I'm looking at buying one of those (don't know the name) 'loop synthesizer' things that records a bar, repeats and then you record another bar over the top and build upon it. It's funny though, I've been having stage fright issues for a couple of years now, so the way I intend fixing that is to actually play better. I think not doing so was one cause of my issues in the first place. The rest are best left unsaid. ;) Lily loves to sing and she's my best critic. Have a great New Year old mate.
