Many people strongly dislike reading music. In the early years of music lessons, memorizing symbols and shapes is often tedious and unsatisfying (in the short term). When some folks decide to learn music later on in life, they often avoid learning how to read music like the plague. Why? It’s hard! You’re learning a new written […]
It is hard to quantify one song or album as better than another. These 9 albums are considered some of the greatest ever recorded from the “modern” jazz music era of the 40’s – 70’s. These records will be in any jazz musician’s music library, or any serious jazz listener. These albums paved the way […]
I think we can all agree this is a stunning piano. The curves and overall shape give the luxurious curvy overtones (no pun intended) of a 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom. The futuristic V shape makes you question how on earth it stays standing upright. The body is beautiful. The lines are gorgeous and the styling is exceptional. […]
Oh the ever so elusive perfect pitch. I remember one of my first encounters with someone with perfect pitch. I was at band camp (Band camp is awesome. Don’t knock it till you try it) and one of my fellow campers claimed to have perfect pitch. To prove he wasn’t full of it, we tried to test […]

Bravura gigs don’t ordinarily warrant five stars in my book, but concerts by Michel Camilo – the Latin-jazz piano star from the Dominican Republic – are so astonishing that you abandon all aesthetic doubts and come out with your hands up. After his long single-set tour de force at the South Bank, and a […]
Vancouver’s jazz festival certainly attracts some big names. From Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis in the mid 80s during this jazz festival’s inception, to names like The Roots, and Tower of Power playing now. The VJF has been a powerhouse for over 30 years! There are a few more days left in the festival, with lots of good […]
Lets think about a dream job. Set your own hours. Work outside. Do what you love. Make people stop and smile dozens of times a day. Get paid in cash. Work anywhere in the world. Ladies and Gents, if that appeals to you… give busking a shot! For many young people (and old) jobs […]
Most of us can all hum along to the Jurassic Theme on command. These guys sat down and put together a beautiful rendition of the “Jurassic World Sonatas”. It already has over 1 million views! Check it out! The Jurassic World sonatas may have originated as part of the soundtrack to the uber-dino action flick Jurassic Park, […]
To preface- I am a music geek. I remember when the first prototypes were revealed for the Roli Seaboard. It sounded like a great concept, but too good to be true when it came time for a final product. They’ve gone ahead and proved everyone wrong. Roli has developed an innovative (and super cool) way […]
