Is this New Age Jazz???
on: May 22, 2016, 09:14:11 PM
So ... Time to Jazz up ... If you're not feeling it, go to the last 2 minutes where I play 3 different voices at once😅, rather difficult to play😬- and along with that, there's the harmony flowing in the background. 🙃
In these last 2 minutes think of a truly religious congregation screaming "AMEN" at the top of their lungs and praising the lord hysterically. The "AMEN" is that bottom note I keep hitting (not playing) very, VERY LOUD! But Wow! I enjoyed playing this today

I'll be honest, while I didn't listen to the whole thing there are things to admire in this performance.

Though it wasn't gripping enough for me to spend 13 minutes listening to (maybe keep this in mind in future) You are certainly a better improviser than me for what it's worth. You have a few interesting ideas here and there even if you use a little too much repetition for me. This isn't usually my style of music, I usually prefer a planned performance rather than an improvised one.

What is your approach to improvisation? Do you have a process to improve?
Care to see my playing?
