Here I will try my best to record any and all happenings in my life that I feel are of relative importance to my personal growth as a jazz listener/performer. This will include, but is not limited to: my attendance at live performances, educational encounters with teachers/mentors/etc., personal discoveries, goals, challenges, difficulties, successes, jam sessions, transcriptions, etc etc etc.

Piano Tuner

Mark Stivers came by yesterday, retuned the piano and also adjusted the action, worked on the hammers. It sounds great now. My buyer's remorse is totally gone. The key feel is much more sensitive than before; so much so that I'm almost worried that if I play too much it might mess up the action again.

Interesting blog from someone who is also working hard to improve their improvising skills; This fellow also preaches the singular importance of learning to play by ear.
