He rightfully calls out so much of the BS pedaled to the young and/or naive. It takes way more than hustle to get things happening. Hamsters hustle, stock boys hustle. You actually have to be able to do something and produce results that matter in the market place to really succeed. Time to give up our societies attention of what he calls, "Entrepreneurial porn stars" is refreshing.

Rant over

Last week's highlight? Jazz piano trio with Jim and Rory. A heap of fun with the standards. We are sounding more settled each week. Terry Clarke thinks that Rory and I sound great together. Let's hear it for bass players.
​
Due to illness the presentation with Terry Clarke is being rescheduled.

This week is a busy one. Latin percussion lesson Wednesday, Jamming Wednesday  synthesizer in some new music/improv wonderfulness, and drumming at an original jazz jam on Thursday.

Preparing for a workshop in New Orleans later in the year is keeping the snare drum busy. I made my 10 hours of drum practice last week, this week will be more challenging due to work commitments and piano practice which has be a little neglected lately.  

Thinking about some new music projects I might pursue later this year. 
  1. trad jazz
  2. big band
  3. new music/improv
  4. avant postjazz
  5. concert band
