EASY WINNERS (1901)
He pensado, (cosa que no hago a menudo) que en lugar de comenzar el edificio del jazz por el tejado del bebop, tal vez es mas lógico empezar por los cimientos del ragtime, el blues, dixie, sobre todo en mi caso que soy autodidacta y llegue al violín enamorado de la música irlandesa...

Sounds nice. If you experiment with less reverb your sound would be less distant and would blend better with the backing track. It may be counter intuitive but worth the experiment.
PENT-UP HOUSE (SONNY ROLLINS 1956)
Mi primer intento de perpetrar un tema de bebop. En lugar de improvisar sobre los arpegios de los acordes, he intentado hacer un solo de forma intuitiva, crear una atmósfera y aunque soy consciente de tener muchas limitaciones técnicas, hoy he dado un pequeño paso para liberarme de las parrillas...

Nice, Octavio. We had this tune for a while in my online jam sessions and it will come back for sure. We always have some bebop tunes but also modal, rhythm changes, blues and other standards. You can watch and listen to our unedited session recordings in my Online Jam SKOOL. I trust this could be something for you to participate in. https://www.skool.com/online-jam-6255/about

@Octavio Pardos , con mucho prazer.
🇺🇸 Ann’s 2 videos on my method and workshops! 🇫🇷 2 vidéos d'Ann sur ma méthode et les stages
🇺🇸 @Ann Vancoillie just released two amazing videos featuring my teaching system and my summer camp! She highlights essential techniques I'm passionate about, like mastering ghost notes and achieving a continuous bowing motion to truly unlock your jazz sound and rhythm. I’m reposting these to make sure you don't miss out on her impressions and to give you a glimpse into what we’re building at the camp! 🇫🇷 @Ann Vancoillie vient de publier deux super vidéos où elle présente mon système pédagogique et l'ambiance de mon stage d'été ! Elle y explique avec beaucoup de clarté l'importance de maîtriser la technique des ghost notes et la fluidité du coup d'archet continu, des piliers pour débloquer le son jazz et le rythme.. Je repartage tout ça ici pour m'assurer que tu puisses découvrir ses impressions et avoir un aperçu de ce qui t'attend au camp !

@Ann Vancoillie, thank you for your kind words and that you mention the online jams, for which there is also a dedicated group in SKOOL to be joined via https://www.skool.com/online-jam-6255/about We bring to life what we practice. On a safe playground we can jam almost daily, while staying at home with zero logistics. A stress free way to have ourselves recorded allows to see our progress over time.

Improvising
So after going thru the melody, he starts improvising, just like I've heard many times. How to start improvising?

@Eva Slongo , indeed, similarities with language learning are quite obvious. It is a life long process where initially poor vocabulary continues enriching and simple utterances become more complex. Like with learning a mother-tongue, one should not wait until attaining a certain level to receive a "licence" to speak. One needs to talk to learn to talk and that becomes easier when one has something to say, regardless of linguistic limitations. Learning to improvise in music is very much the same. The hard thing, for many, is actually daring to improvise knowing it has little chance to sound like our musical super-heroes. But what if, with our modest skills, we can nevertheless do something honest and authentic that brings joy to us and others ? It may well be worth trying.
