where are you located? I played jazz piano for nine years in the 50s and 60s, but I can see that I need to learn a few more things...! I'm going on a 6-month USA trip beginning in April and will be in Bridgeport in mid to late July -- would love to meet you and trade chords. You can reach me at john bresnik dot com...
Earl that was great man. In about 5 minutes I learned something I could take away, practice and utilize in my playing. I'll be looking for more of your 'straight dope' videos.
Wonderful! Thank you. Its possible that you have met my Afro-Cuban music mentor Javier Diaz at you school. (new faculty) If not do say hello.
