all right should be kick into our um our segments as it were yeah let's do our segments but first we

we need to call here we We lost some questions. So, please leave us your questions here. We're here to just kind of nerd out on all things. Oh, I may still have those. No, they're gone. All things jazz piano. Yeah. Someone already says, can you teach us shoegaze piano? You know I can. Yes. You know I can. Triads.

We'll talk about that, though.

Leave your nerdy questions here, and we will do our best to answer as many as we can.

That's right.

So, practice check-in. How was your practice week? How was your practice weekend, big guy?

Practice weekend was really good. Thank you.

We're working on a new tune on the Monday Transcribing Club.

Sonny Clark's version of Blue Minor from his Cool Strutton album. I love that record.

Yeah, really beautiful.

Yeah. It's such a great tune.

So I worked on that.

I worked on being able to, you know, I did the old school transcription of it where I

sung it all first.

Like I learned the melody by singing it.

I didn't even know what key it was in.

It was just me in a room with a stereo, just singing to it. And then I took it to the piano. It felt really good, actually. It's a really deep way to learn the melody. So that's like, if you don't do that, if you're not learning your tunes by just getting to the recording and being able to sing it and really take your time. Like I was using any tune, which is a former sponsor of this podcast.

That's right.

And I was slowing it down and really trying to get like, because, you know, this, it's pretty fast.

So easy to do on the piano, but when you're just singing it, you really have to, you really have to hear it, right?

Or else you're just like, you know what I mean?

So you really have to slow it down.
