the shit factory

but it’s less of a lag than the last time…

anyway, I’ve decided to dive back into the jazz thing. I took a lesson with alfonso ponticelli which was helpful, but as with all other jazz lessons I’ve taken, my head starts to spin after 2-3 new chords. at the end of the lesson though, he said what I guess i knew all along - the way to learn jazz is to just start learning tunes… the more songs you play, the more chords and changes you come across, and the more you’ll start to reckognize those patterns in other songs… So I’m telling myself that I’m going to pracitce every day (along with practicing my drums every day) and start working on songs. I’m also trying to get a weekly jazz practice going with some people I met in alfonso’s class at the old town school.

so anyway, if you see me on the street, ask me if I practiced my jazz and drums yesterday. if I didn’t, then insult me. it’s for my own good.
