This blog is about sharing the incredible process of creating music with people. You will find snapshots of my experience as a developing artist as well as the work of those who have inspired me along the way.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Hey no problem,
I am actually not a pianist myself but a guitarist and songwriter. I love jazz and particularly Bill Evans, each chord he plays really gets me… there is something about his phrasing that is just hypnotizing.
In comparison to the guitar, the piano allows musicians to use each hand independently. This allows them to counterpoint with ease and create polyphonic textures, which makes music “deeper” than what a single guitarist could recreate. That and the natural resonance of the piano really draw me to the instrument
I will be uploading an excerpt of Bill Evans ( a part of a lecture called the Universal Mind he recorded in the 1960s with his brother. In case you have not seen it, he speaks about the universality of music and of jazz in general, Highly recommended!
What’s your name by the way? Are you a musician/ composer?
Look forward for seeing some more posts,
SP
