| Re: Being on "Time"
What do you mean that it's not as clear these days?
I don't disagree, and I think I get what you mean, but I'm not sure, and it seems interesting.
Vulgano, good idea, although it's something to work up to. Lately I've been warming up with Schlossberg but trying to change the underlying (imaginary) pulse in my head from a ride cymbal to drum and bass to something like a Haydn symphony. Hey, it helps from getting bored.
I will tell you, one of my teachers was this amazing saxophonist from Puerto Rico who would just practice and listen and think music 24-7. I saw someone come to him on his "dinner break" with a question about Donna Lee. Just to remember how he phrased the head he solfeged it up to tempo while keeping 2 and 4 in his feet and tapping clave with his free hand (the other had his food) from memory. There's a great big world of rhythm out there, donthcaknow? |
