Jazz is Cerebral (Ep. 16)


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the question: Is jazz too intellectual or cerebral? Inspired by a famous moment when Bill Evans was asked this very question, we explore the balance between technique and emotion in jazz. While some people feel jazz can be overly technical, we’re not giving them permission to be right about that! Instead, we break down how mastering the technical aspects is actually the gateway to greater emotional expression in your playing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mastering technique is not just about becoming better at your instrument; it's about reaching a level of comfort where your emotions can speak freely.
  • Jazz may seem cerebral at first, but the goal is to make it feel effortless so that it becomes a deeply emotional experience.
