twocats your jazz/improv skills just keep getting more impressive!! This take has evolved quite a lot from your experimentation with different styles, guess you had to pick one for your final video! I can't imagine that you could easily transition from one to another π
First of all, I appreciate you listening to my practice recordings! I liked those other styles too, but like you said, I had to choose an angle. I can't just cram everything in there because I want to use up all the things I practiced, though often it's tempting! But that's jazz--practice a bunch of techniques and vocabulary, and then just a few get used. On the plus side, all those techniques become more easily applied to other tunes, so the practice isn't wasted.
Sophia I would end with "and the best part: no Pachelbel anywhere in earshot" but that would be crude and unkind
Um, don't let Heartkeys hear you say that!!
Besides, you could come back with "the best part, no duet partner in sight" and that would make us even again
First of all, if I have to have a partner, I'm happy to have one as committed and resourceful as you! But truly, duets are stressful, aren't they? I was afraid I would be holding you up by learning too slowly, or messing up my part and making us both look bad. But the finished product is more fun when it's a duet.
