Joe Holt - Autumn Leaves

Presented in a jazz vespers service of the First Presbyterian Church, Pitman NJ on 11/25/07. Solo performance is not the norm in these situations, but I believe it worked for the service, as it certainly worked for me. I wasn't "planning" on picking up time in 3/4, as the improvisation "took over". I think that's the point.

What is he wearing on his hand? Is he injured?

[joeholtsnotes]

@demsi2004 Wrapping my wrists and supporting the forearms (along with prescribed stretching) has sustained me for many years. A good physician, years ago, worked with me on a plan to be able to continue to play through a(n essentially) chronic tendonitis. I could quit playing for 6 months or so, and it would probably ease up, but I like to eat :)

Your music it's marvelous to hear! Szacun wielki. I wish someday improvise you like. 

[demsi2004]

Did you try drink 4 time per a day "tea of nettle (Urtica dioica) ? After month yours hands should be better.

Besides. I've read a book of Maria Niemira. She's talking about good pianist technics. After styding this book I can play the piano without any pain of hand.

Do you know that Chopin offered to his pupils to put fingers on keyboard on that way. Right hand: 1-E, 2-F#, 3-G#, 4-A#, 5-B.

I hope that I'm not boring you.
