I remember the day I was just switching channels on the TV, and I came across a concert on the PBS station with these four guys that looked like they were in a typical rock band, but they were playing jazz.
It was The Pat Metheny Group, and it totally changed everything for me. I rushed out to the local Peaches and got every Metheny album I could get my hands on. It was my gateway into Jazz. Before that, I couldn’t have come up with the names of any jazz musicians.
SIMPLE.. yet, VERY ACCURATE assessment!
Same here. He’s doing great work. I bought his book about five years ago and have been teaching myself the music theory that I never really got as a self taught player. It has been revolutionary for me.
The music theory stuff is totally over my head.
I go about once a week for the hot tub and the pool.
And most of the women are nothing to look at.
I do most of my physical exercises at home.
I always laugh at one of the most important members of the “crew”. The idiot that sounds like he’s wheezing real bad.
His interview with Metheny is one of his best. Years ago I was given As Falls Wichita So Falls Wichita Falls on vinyl by a family member and would listen to the A side sometimes as a background soundscape to fall asleep to, but never really listened to the B side. Then finally I gave it a real listen and realized how good it is. That was an early nudge in the jazz direction for me. I’m still not a true jazz guy but I’ve come to see how important jazz knowledge is for writing pop songs.
Hip hop and rap are two different things. Which one is dying?
I’m still a fan of “the big band sound.” I lost interest in most ‘current’ music in the mid-70’s when huge speakers blasting out “noise” and the lyrics to the songs were drown out.
The day I heard that Lyle Mays passed, I was an emotional wreck. It felt like a death in the family.
**I go about once a week for the hot tub and the pool.**
Yeah, kinda expensive options for private ownership.
**And most of the women are nothing to look at.**
Ha ha, those places have wall mirrors too, right? That makes it twice as many not to look at. Lol
anyone who listens to hip hop is a total degenerate
One of the reasons I’m moving to Idaho is to get away from my next door neighbor that blasts his F’ing Hip Hop music all the time in his car and in his back yard.
If you learn to play the piano it will all make sense. Theory and the fretboard don’t mix well.
Hip hop is worship music to Satan.
Uh, oh. I’m pretty sure it’s in the brochure. Fingers crossed you’re a big fan of old-school boom-bap.

Oh, no, such a cultural decline! /s
Angry black millionaires angrily shouting out rhymes about how unfair society is to them can only go so far.
At some point people start wanting to see actual talent.
That’s one I missed!
There are only so many hip ways to rap about killing cops and raping women.
