Hi folks,
I recently appeared on the “JazzPianoSkills” podcast with Dr. Bob Lawrence. We talked about what it was like for me to take lessons recently, what I consider essential exercises for jazz pianists, and how a classical pianist can begin to start exploring jazz. You can download the episode here.
Then, I was interviewed by Josh Walsh of jazz-library.com for his “Master’s Series.” Josh had me play a spontaneous version of “Moon River” and we talked about how pianists can grow beyond formulas into feeling creative ownership of their performances. Check out the video below.
