With one of my students, I am currently analyzing Bach chorales and transcribing Sonny Sharrock solos. We divide our time evenly between the two in each lesson, which occur twice a week. We’re having a good time!

“Chasin’ the Trane” by John Coltrane, born 99 years ago today. So grateful for his music.

I love the Cordoba! Thanks!
Miles Davis’s trumpet solo on “Autumn Leaves” from the 1958 Cannonball Adderly album “Somethin’ Else” on Blue Note Records. This is my solo guitar interpretation this morning. It’s the first day of fall. A change is gonna come. 🍂

“Kill the Poor” by the Dead Kennedys. Happy birthday America. 🇺🇸
I still haven’t set that up. I haven’t been able to bring myself to look at it. Waiting for them to force me.
I choose to view the flags flown at half-staff as being for the students and teachers who have been killed, injured and traumatized by school shootings.
I started watching Andor. I’m on episode 3. Cool show!
It felt autumnal enough this morning to be riffing on “Blackwaterside”. 🍂 🌕

“Parish appears as the most laid-back person to ever walk on a stage, his unfazed demeanor at odds with the somewhat obsessive-manic aesthetics of the music.” 😂😎
