I discover the Michel Petrucciani with Anthony Jackson. I realize i was only knowing him playing with Michel Camilloand Hiromi.. A shame ! This live in Tokyo is my main listening since few days.

Jazz female singers are divas. (Ok, only based on my small experience )

A P/J version please 🤪

This bass is a gem ! Awesomeness. Congrats !

One of my favorite:

😞 Sad day... Just look at him play has made me re-start all my right hand technic from A to Z. I discovered him really with Hiromi and the trio project, and had the chance to see them live. What a music lesson... RIP Mr Jackson and thank you for all..

One other way you can try is the Molly Gerbrian book named "learn faster perform better". She's pro musician and neuroscience PhD. Her approach about learning the better way to optimize efficiency of brain recording is really interesting and helpfull.

Agree. Music is an Art. To me everybody playing music is an artist and a musician, as i don't associate "values" or "status" in these words, so not feel it as pretentious. Remains me this question: Are you a player or a musician ? .. Even if playing cover note for note, we all have our own and unique way to play it, and we put our emotion in this playing. It's our artist part. We all are artist. And it's not a pride source for me, more a everyday happiness source.

I've always been a fingers player. But since i've revised entirely my right hand technic based on Anthony Jackson one, i've discovered and added the pick to my bass playing (as guitarist in a previous life, i was aware of these strange little things) I discovered, as mimicking Anthony that it could be a real boost during more energetic moments in tunes; plus having new shades of tones in my playing. But i needed it to be easy to catch and let down during tunes cause i would like to be able to use it for some parts of tunes. As i've had a pick with small magnet inside from my guitarist life, an idea popped in my head: where could i add a magnet on my bass for my magnetic pick to stay available easily ? Second problem was the pick brand didn't exist anymore. I found a end-of-stock of 3 more on the web but that was all. So after some search, i found a manufacturer from Italy that has created picks with the same basic idea except he added some metal rings in picks instead of magnets: https://www.m-picks.com/fr/magnetik-picks.html And here are the pics: mine are 0.75 but he proposes different thickness and shapes. The bass magnet is from somewhere on asian websites, and has been bonded with double side thin tape

I would like to hear this awesome chord with this capo 😂

With Zarbo, Afro ska band: With Adhoc 4tet: contemporary jazz. Dead last july ..

Excellent book which have changed my way of practice, more efficient during the same practice time.

Next month i will have the chance to see Hiromi's sonicwonder at 45 minuts driving from home. I'm an absolue fan of her actual band and can't wait to live this moment.
