      I used to go see Phil DeGreg (jazz pianist) perform on a regular basis, and one of his strongest pieces of advice was that a jazz “pro” is able to deliver passable solos (at minimum) no matter how uninspired they might be feeling. If they’re feeling good and can rise to “great”, or even “amazing”, that’s the ideal, but even if they’re tired and hung over, they need to enter that trance state and play well enough to fool the non-jazzers in the audience.

    Thank you for showing one of the most crucial skills for soloing: audiation.
    Too few amateurs know about this and how it gives you confidence and skill to know what you're about to play before you play it. Invaluable in soloing and even in composing.
    This is obviously something everyone going to music school learns, but many are left out.
