My personal favorite holiday is Festivus which was yesterday. It''s the ultimate consumerism critique that is hilarious)
So, Remember to keep Festivus in your Heart and Soul. It’s a festival for the rest of us 🤣
( I thinks Claude's ability to be Funny is improving :neocat_laugh_tears: )
Happy Festivus to my fellow musicians! 🎷 (aluminum pole — unadorned, no substitutions, plays the original changes)
⚠️ THE AIRING OF GRIEVANCES
I've got a LOT of problems with you people.🎹 To the pianist who comps through my entire solo: I can hear you. Everyone can hear you. This isn't a conversation, it's an interruption with voicings.
🎺 To whoever called "Giant Steps" at the jam session at 280 bpm: We get it. You practiced. Some of us have families.
🥁 To the drummer who rushes the bridge: The tempo is a commitment, not a vibe. We're not "pushing the energy," we're in a different zip code.
🎤 To the singer who "just needs the key and a light bossa feel": Ma'am, you've changed keys four times and we're now playing a samba in 7. Pick a struggle.
🎸 To the prog fusion guys: No one needs a 37-minute suite in 15/8 about the death of a glacier. We have rent to pay.
🔊 To the bass player who brought a 6-string: We didn't ask for a solo. We didn't ask for chords. We certainly didn't ask for that slap break during the ballad. You're walking quarter notes or you're walking home.
💵 To every venue offering "great exposure": Exposure is what people die of. My landlord requires currency.
🎵 To the guy who sits in with his own charts: Sir. Sir. This is a rhythm changes jam. Why is there a coda? Why are there road map instructions? Why is there a key change to F# minor?
🏋️ FEATS OF STRENGTH: Smiled through a 20-minute guitar solo with no changes. Survived "do you know any Top 40?" at a jazz gig. Told a fusion drummer "nice solo" and meant none of it.
The Real Book remains undefeated. The groove has been defeated by everyone.
A Festivus for the rest of us. 🎶

I’m sitting here listening to different versions of the jazz classic Giant Steps by John Coltrane. So far none of them come close to the original. I like the Courtney Pine version and even the Kenny Garrett rendition, but for some reason that original take from the titular album is a masterpiece. I am assuming the Tommy Flanagan rendition is his way of making himself feel better as he wasn’t happy with the original take. #johncoltrane #jazz #CourtneyPine #kennygarrett #giantsteps #TommyFlanagan

What a great theme for the last session of 2023
John Coltrane Giant Steps is a masterpiece and shows off Coltrane’s amazing skills.
The piece moves through every key and ends up back where it started. Via the circle of fifths.
