Quick Burst
I have not gotten my books yet, but I was listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan's Riviera Paradise, and I noticed that he uses a lot of jazz vocabulary in his playing. It sounds a lot like his ideas came from Kenny Burrell!
Final Project
For my final project, I decided that I would take what I learn from the musicians that I read about and attempt to apply their ways, to my music. I picked four musicians that are musicians that have really inspired me in the last half year. I figured that since my last blogs have been more genre specific, I would break from that and get even more personal. By doing this, I hoped that I would be able to answer a few of my own questions. Some of these questions included, how should I mix Jazz and Blues together without it being "Incorrect" The first step to adjusting my musical mindset to what my inspirations had to say was literally changing the way that I approach music. In the last few years, I have been really hard on my playing. I have been trying to perfect two totally different voices in my music. To be more specific, I have been working really hard on developing my blues roots and my jazz roots just like Miles and the earlier musicians I read about had suggested. Howe
