Alright, Magalie, can you say hello to the podcast listeners today? Oh, don't grab the microphone, it's expensive. Can you say, "Hi, podcast listeners!"
(Baby mumbled) Yeah, hi! Okay, let's get on to the show now.
Have you ever heard this saying before that insanity is doing the same thing, over and over and over again and expecting different results, right? You've heard that before.
Well, I have to think about that in terms of friction. Like, what friction are we experiencing in our jazz playing, in our musicianship that we keep leaning into, that we keep just accepting? And instead of reducing that friction, we just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again but yet are expecting our jazz playing and our musicianship to improve.
Well, today, I'm gonna be talking about that. How to avoid friction in your playing, your jazz improvement, and what you can do to start recognizing it.
In this episode:
1. A story about friction for a New York City musician
2. Listen, identify, and be mindful of friction points in your playing
3. Establish a strategy to address the friction instead of allowing it to continue
