Of course! I'm going to conduct this as a group masterclass, so anyone who's interested is welcome to participate.

Thanks for that!, I think a lot of people appreciate the fact that you're willing to take on more than one student, including me, I'd love to learn more about Jazz.

Yeah, guys would come from miles around to find late-night jam sessions to try and 'cut' other players. These 'cutting contests' served as rite of passage ceremonies; could you hack it or did you get cut up by another player better than you?

You could go into more depth for each of these...?

I guess what I'm trying to do is offer an overview and open a few ears to jazz.

I will likely also start an in depth look at the major innovators for each instrument? Could be fun...

WHERES MY MONK?

Sorry dude...I lump Monk and Mingus into pre-free-jazz, and will get into them NEXT TIME!!
