And you're listening to the You'll Hear Podcast.

Music, advice, and inspiration coming at you.

Coming at you today, we are still sponsored by Open Studio. studio and you know what let's extend the little bebop enclosures for beginner offer to are you here i think we

should i think we should we this is such a spirit of giving and what better to give than a little

bit of pathway towards mastery of bebop because bebop is it's such an important part important part of the language. I always come back to it. I always feel like, ah, bebop's over. I don't think it's ever. It's like Shakespeare or something for writers that came later. Yeah, you can abandon it, you can leave it. But if you've got a handle on it, you've got a lot of the vocab. You hear it in in modern players all the time it's such an

important part of the foundation of the language of improvising i would say even beyond jazz it's

just part of the language of improvising at least you know uh in the music that we love so and it's

charlie parker's hundredth uh year of his anniversary of his birth that's special time so yeah it's a

new course it's for all instruments called bebopBop and Closers for Beginners.

We really hold your hand through getting that sound. That B-Bop sounds. Check it out. There's a link here in the description. You can go check it out and save $30 today. And very important that we stress that it's for all instruments because not all of your many courses that you've been doing, the brilliant work you've been

courses you've been doing. I didn't say that. You know, I've been often just for pianists, but this is truly for everybody. Totally. And you kind of approached it in that way. So we're very excited about it. Totally. Oh, I'm looking forward to today's episode, man, because some of these things, I'm looking down our list of 10 things to stop doing in our solos. and I do some of these. Well, me too, of course. But you know what? We need to stop. And this is such a great. We talked yesterday in depth about practicing and some new practice techniques we're doing. And so we want to really be thinking towards the future in terms of, you know, I mean, we're starting to do a few little gigs here and there. Still mostly, I mean, I've been doing a bunch of solo piano gigs, but you did a few,

few things with your group.

Oh, man, I did my first outdoor concert. Yeah. Social Distance and Max, mass stuff. It was like a, it was weird. Yeah, it's weird. and so like we've got all that to contend with but knowing that there will be a day when we're doing

so-called normal gigs again let's go ahead and stop doing these things in our solos now so that once we're back out

in public, we will be the new improved versions of ourselves, right? Yeah, that would be great.

Could you just question, though? Yeah. Can you hear this? Hold on. Oh, this is why I love audio. Oh, okay. Just making sure you couldn't hear the water. Okay. It's making a weird noise as well. Is it? Is it? Did you have spin drift in that canister there? Or is that Agua natural or is it Topochico? Oh, I wish it was Topichico. No, it's just Agua Natural. Yeah, I'm addicted to the Topichico. Man, can we, you know, we don't normally beg for sponsorships. Can we get a Topichico sponsorship? Man, if there's anybody out there with a connection with the Topochico company in Mexico, I would so gladly, I will shill for that water. It's so good. I don't know what they do to those bubbles. I don't want to know. No, I think it's all natural. And, in fact, you know, the first time I had it,

it's become trendy all of a sudden.
