what are you working to improve on, musically?

You are a winner already Ken.

Important also is listening to as many live performers as you can.

I could live in the Village or Soho and be content, as that is one of the few places where performers show up nightly.

If you see the name JD Parran or 3rd Circuit and Spirit, do yourself a favor and give him a listen.

He is inspiring, and as a live jazz performer you can witness first hand how important the talk / reply improvisations really are.

I have never been so impressed w/ a reed player in my life.

I first heard him playing in a stairwell where the natural reverb was perfect. It caused me to set my Rhodes down and listen. I still think about that 3 minute time frame when I solo. Horn players were always my inspiration.

I heard a story about how Sonny Rollins use to walk down under the Washington Bridge and paractice every night at a certain time. A liitle black kid use to show up every night and listen. He grew up to be an awesome bassist. His name is Ron Carter. " Light As A Feather ".
