Great video. I've started to literally take the horn out of my mouth to help me adjust. I believe Miles advised Coltrane to do the same thing once they started experimenting with modes and Trane had trouble ending solos.

That's a great way to get used to it! I've heard that story about Miles and 'Trane too, I really hope it's true

Miles also knew he wasn't getting paid per note - dude was a straight up gangsta.

Ha! That's very true. Rent was cheaper in those days anyway 😂

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for providing ways to practice leaving space. I’ve been told to “leave more space” but I’ve never been told how to practice that. Thank you so much
@joshwakeham9 ай бұрын
Oh man, being told to do things but not HOW to practice them, is one of my pet peeves. So many educators essentially just say "get better!" I'm so glad you found the video helpful!

use of space/timing/fewer notes but great, unexpected notes occasionally

There's a lot to be said for not saying anything, and it definitely works with music as well. The quiet parts are just as important and can speak volumes.

Very true. I still struggle with the keeping my mouth shut part though!
@geoffbuss36992 ай бұрын
Agreed 100%. Masterful actors, comedians and orators are also super-comfortable with silences. Easier said than done though. Someone must have once said "those who speak the most often have the least to say". If not, I just said it.

I'm sure that's part of it. Few people seem to have the same level of self-confidence as Miles did!
