Exploring Jazz Basics! Working behind the piano - and, with additional help from the guitar and saxophone - I have been able to build a 'from the ground up' understanding that now makes 'the concept of jazz' much easier to understand. With that said, it's now time to tackle additional elements such as intonation, phrasing, articulation, and more! Along the way, I just remember that "a lot more to learn" just means "a lot more to live for"!
