Today marks the beginning of a new biological year in this home that I've occupied for over three decades now... I thank my protective vessel and my complicated mind for standing me up all this time, and for not having neglected me so much along the way, and the incredibly supportive (and not so supportive) souls that have contributed to my successes and failures throughout this time. Both deserve their thanks and acceptance in a way . In an era where it seems that no one can be satisfied, I won't make any specific promises to anyone this year, other than the fact that I'm working so hard to make sure you hear the music and art thats bursting out of me from the seams. It's coming.
Much love 💜🙏✌️

Practice Log Transcription Edition
Just 1 minute of Chris Potter kickin’ my ass. It’s never just the notes with him but his flow, time and feel is so hard to replicate - and so much content.
A lot of work to do but still early in the process with this solo.
On the second mouthpiece until I find my match (mine broke). Still searching!

Daily Practice Log Entry 3
Have had an heavy gig schedule in these couple days but found time for a mini Easter shed today.
Working this figure over the B section of Bb Rhythm Changes (tenor key), it highlights the tritone pair of each chord with a little altered sprinkled in there, ya dig?

Daily practice entry 2
We love second inversion major triads moving in minor 3rds
Try this one over a D7 chord, (E7 for Tenor Sax)

Chet no solo se dedicó a cantar tristes baladas de amor que le convirtieron en un icono popular que ha trascendido hasta nuestros días. También era capaz también de swinguear como los mejores intérpretes de la época.
De su colaboración con el cuarteto de Gerry Mulligan surge esta divertida y elegante melodía titulada Line For Lyons y que hemos incorporado a nuestro Jazz At Muxacho vol18 - Have Your Met Chet?
Te esperamos en @restaurantemuxacho este viernes 10 y el 24 para disfrutar del jazz, la gastronomía y lo más importante: la buena compañía.

Day 3 with the melody of Lennie’s Groove by @markturnersaxophone . No chart, no reading, just ears. Actually works super well as an technical etude, and a focus exercise 😅 Still work to do, now for the solos.
