Hi all, Thinking of trying to add an extra time for people to attend my weekly practise club. Will be a re-run of the same material in the Monday class but for people who can make 6pm on Monday. If you are interested, please tell me in the comments what time pile be best for you and I will try and find the best time and day for us all. Just tell me in your own time zone and il work the rest out.

Hi Matt.are you still posting live class recordings?

Was thinking about this today and wanted to know your thoughts? Is it just someone who can improvise over chords? Is it someone who knows some section of the “jazz canon” (tunes from a certain era of jazz) Is it someone who plays “the language” in their solo? Is it someone who can swing? Some might say it’s all of these out together however sometimes one or two of these are missing or one of these points seems to be a min focus over all of the others? I don’t think you have to have ALL of the above but I reckon most of these need to be in there somewhere. What am I missing?

Tell the group in 1-3 words, what your current goal is for your playing. mine: learn more tunes

Some say that Stuff Smith was one of the pioneers of electric violin. He came up with the idea of putting a D’armond guitar pickup on the bass bar side of his violin with elastic and plugging it into a tube amp. You can see it in this video here! https://youtu.be/kPVeEEdEQWE?si=2HTffFwqea6fXMzv
