"Taking what you've learned already, and embracing that for the moment." That's a nice observation!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

I'm glad you picked up on this - it's very important!

[@dleverett1963]

love it! I miss Wayne so much. I can tell you love his music!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Yes indeed!

[@dleverett1963]

Embracing what you can do! Great advice. I'm learning this tune. I'm not a professional so my bar is low. I enjoy your version so much!

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks and yes, definitely put these ideas into practice. Have fun!

So much more interesting and full of possibilities than diatonic (is that the right term?). I have always dreamed of keyless music. Your explanation is super. Fascinating stuff.

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Exactly - keyless music! It goes back to the 20th century classical composers, like Shostakovich, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg. The jazz developed in that direction too.

I love how you break it down for us. Makes it more enjoyable.

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Enjoyable for me too!
