My husband of twenty-three years, Lee Callahan, was Brad’s first jazz piano teacher. Brad was a quick study, to put it mildly. When Brad was only a teenager, Lee lined up a gig at the 880 Club in Hartford, Connecticut, for Brad to play in a jazz trio. Most students studied year after year. Within the first year, my husband told Brad, “You’re a genius; I’ve taught you everything I know; go make your music.” The rest is history. Love you, Brad 💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜

Tom Alston What slays me is I actually interviewed Brad right after he graduated from high school. It was surreal because we were in a jazz club (he was waiting to play), and he was just so young compared to the other players. Brad talked about how stern (I’m 99.9% sure he used ‘mean’) yet REALLY GOOD, his school’s jazz band director was. I taped the interview on a miniature recording device. Before I had a chance to write it up, one of my students swiped the tape recorder and Brad’s interview was gone with the wind.

Marcia McDavid That’s a bummer. He must have had a lot of self discipline for his age. I can only imagine the hours of practice he put in to get the technique he has.
@marciamcdavid1493 жыл бұрын
@@motnotsla1, actually he picked up things so quickly, it seemed his physical technique was already in his makeup. He did spend hours creating (improvising) his own music. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure he studied Classical technique before he studied with my husband.

It seems to go off in a different direction, but it works really well. I'm very impressed at 4:36! You kept up that chord vamping, at that constant speed, for one & a half minutes! Very strong wrists!
