Hello!
I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your blogs and the perspective that you have on jazz. I am also a blogger who is trying to look at jazz in a different unique way. It is interesting to see how jazz has progressed and changed over the past few decades. I am very curious to see how far jazz musicians are going to go in order to reach our generation.

Hello Rachel,
I was kindly shown this blog by my jazz teacher, Mr. Christ Stevens. 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.

Rachel;
Regarding the recordings you are try ing to find for ‘What is this thing called love” I have two suggestions.
1. go to amazon.com under music put in song title, then type in your title of the song, and you will find many different cd’s you can get a sample for about 25 seconds or so. 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

Hi Rachel,

Love the blog – your mom kindly showed it to me while I was at your house the other day (our moms are acquainted). 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!

Thanks Alan! 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.

Brubeck’s drummer, Joe Morello, wrote the drum rudiment books I studied from for years. 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!
