@Kjintae So do it... if you practice everytime you want to to have sex or masturbate you can easily get that good in several years

[dirosaga]

@Kjintae Or you could just dedicate yourself to piano seriously and with discipline for 5 years, and you could enjoy the sex while your at it. ;)

If it's so damn easy to get this good, it wouldn't be special. No, I'd seriously give up five years of sex for it! ...or at least three.. or two..

@Criticalperspective2 Rule 11

@Cuddlebunzzzz tautology

[Criticalperspective2]

@Cuddlebunzzzz There is nothing wrong with that. I reiterate my point, because it seems to be unclear to you: I don't like people who play to entertain the audience. Nor do I see the revelance in putting Miles Davis in this same category and drawing a correlation with talent. You seem to be drifting away from the inital argument. By the way, this is what most jazz players have done for years and years, playing standards in their own style. This is not a novel discovery but a mere

[Cuddlebunzzzz]

@Criticalperspective2 so what's wrong with that? innovation and improvisation are great, but those are the only factors that make music worthwhile. Miles Davis was one of the greatest innovators of all time, but when it comes to pure trumpeting skills he lagged behind many of his peers. doing something that's been done before, but doing it exceptionally well and in a way that entertains people who normally wouldn't care for it, also takes a lot of talent.

[Criticalperspective2]

@Cuddlebunzzzz Moreover, it does not imply that such jazz players do not share their passion with the audience. Rather, the process of innovation and improvisation is oriented towards them (and not the audience).

[Criticalperspective2]

@Cuddlebunzzzz That's a common misperception of what performance entails. Most sophisticated jazz players play with their group or for themselves, to create a distinct sound which seeks innovation (e.g. Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson). In such a way, they do not attempt to entertain the audience. I do not claim that Hiromi is wrong and that Oscar Peterson is right, I simply stated that I did not like jazz players who essentially play to entertain the audience.

[Cuddlebunzzzz]

@Criticalperspective2 so why are you watching jazz concert videos? in fact why are you watch jazz performances at all? the whole point of a performance is to play for an audience.

[anamorphosys85]

what a tribute to Gershwin and Peterson! Hiromi Uehara is one hell of a jazz pianist of our generation! just wow!

[Criticalperspective2]

I hate jazz musicians who play music for the audience and try to attract their attention.
