Yes well the melody is one thing. To play the melody like yourself while honoring the song. The solo also has to be something of integrity, yet different and new each time. You have to channel something or at least; give the world joy and hope. And giant steps is a profound technical challenge too.

Being able to play a tune like this and hopefully make it feel intuitive to me and also to you, the person listening, especially in the improvisation, in terms of the sense of time and intonation and being creative within this unique framework, is a fun challenge. A blues is intuitive for example.

Would like to share a special album, one of my favorites. Shirley Horn sings and also plays piano. She was Miles Davis’ favorite singer I believe. My teacher Marshall Hawkins played on this when he was about my age. Bob Boss, my mentor and friend also loved this album. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Having gone missing for most of the week due to severe weather conditions today I am reminded how much I miss the musical snippets of Miss Germain and associates.

β€ͺI don’t know if I’ve heard from even one victim/survivor who went into their interactions with Epstein knowing there would be sex acts involved. It doesn’t sound like prostitution to me. Idk why that word is used in the media to describe this. ‬
