U gotta watch this!!-so much info on each point!!❤ 1.Listen 2. Swing 3. Blues 4. Know your instrument’s role 5. Know THE Repertoires 6. Socialize = play with others 7. BE the functional jazz musician that u wanna be!!
@8:11 "Steal a set. Come on!" I love it; the attitude of a true artist. Reminds me of a really good Werner Herzog interview where he talked about taking his first camera from his university. “I don’t consider it theft. It was just a necessity. I had some sort of natural right to this tool. If you need air to breathe, and you are locked in a room, you have to take a chisel and hammer and break down a wall. It is your absolute right.”
#1 rule: WORK A GIG AS SOON AS YOU CAN EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT. You will learn soon enough #2 rule: Don't take shit from other musicians who you know are trying to bust your chops for no other reason than to be mean. Protect yourself, your music and your integrity.
Seven Steps to - Poverty? A Miles rewrite? Learn - to - play- like - Jo-ey D... Work - for- FREE! OF course today, the level of skill needed is insane compared to what I got away with...
Of course you need to learn to play blues. Then again, neither Dizzy nor Bill Evans was a blues player. Both could get by when necessary, but there is such a thing as jazz without a blues in every set or every album.
