I'm in his program at Long Beach Poly High School. I'm 16 also, and it's my first year in Jazz (B). I'm a fellow piano player. I've been so encouraged by your blog, and you're right, jazz is timeless. Thank you for being so excited for this kind of music and playing the most incredible instrument ever. I'll keep reading, so please keep writing. Lisa Em Hello Rachel,

Not the best but it gives you an idea both with vocals and instrument solos 2. visit you tube, and again put in the title of the song and IIbet you get a apretty good idea of what you are looking for. Let me know if either of these work for you. Your next door music friend Richard Rachel;

You've inspired me to start my own blog, though mine is a lot less focused and contains a lot of mindless bullshit, haha. Just wanted to drop a quick line - keep on writing! Hi Rachel,

Be sure to check out the new post about Imagine & the Beatles. You guys were really great! I'm familiar with that drum solo -- Take Five wouldn't be Take Five without it. Thanks Alan!

He was a pioneer at using the rudiments around the set in melodic musical ways. Amazing drummer- just listen to his TAKE FIVE solo (in 5/4) Great blog- keep it up!
