I am so glad I bought this and cannot put it down! -- Rick Schrenker, Jamey Aebersold Jazz customer from Massachussetts I love your new book! I just read it and really identified with much of the book - particularly melodies and tunes in my head all day & night. I have also always felt that the pinnacle of playing is not a performance but the practicing. I get a lot more pleasure practicing that I do performing - often because it's my escape into a world all my own and my performances don't compare to what I play at home. I also loved the aesthetics chapter and couldn't agree more. You really brightened up my world! Your teaching guidelines mirror your love of teaching and should be guidelines for all of us! You continue to inspire! -- Rick Simerly, jazz trombonist and Summer Jazz Workshops faculty member Explores the hows, whats, and whys of practice, performance, technique, and musicianship.
