Learning To Play Is Mostly About Learning

Music Is What You Notice When It's No Longer In Your Presence.

The Best Musicians Are Not The Best Players, They're The Best Listeners.

Avant-garde, Jazz, Pop, Classical, Country And Western, Rock, Free, Straight-ahead, Etc. Are Ultimately Meaningless Terms In The Face Of The Music Being Discussed At Best - At Worst, Those Terms Often Serve As Code Words For What Is In Fact A Cultural / Political Discussion More Than A Musical One.

It Is Jazz's Very Nature To Change, To Develop & Adapt To The Circumstances Of Its Environment.

Smokin' At The Half Note Is The Absolute Greatest Jazz-guitar Album Ever Made. It Is Also The Record That Taught Me How To Play.
