- Join Richie and Mike as they talk about their new book, Teaching and Learning Jazz. They will also be answering your questions on anything related to teaching, learning, or playing jazz.
This unique book on jazz education covers a wide range of topics such as:
•. Richie's stories of learning from his masters such as Stan Getz, Chet Baker, Jack DeJohnette, ECM's Manfred Eicher, and others
• The evolution of jazz education (both the good and the bad)
• Understanding the four levels of competence at anything including instrumental skill and playing jazz
• How to choose the right school for your needs as a person and musician
• What jazz playing skills can and cannot be taught
• Critically important life skills not taught in school
• A candid and pointed review of the film Whiplash, and what it teaches us to defend against in jazz education
• Richie's strongly held opinions on a variety of topics including developing good time, the emotional process of improvisation, licks, transcribing, jazz play-alongs, and more
• How best to use the abundance of today's digital tools
• Fly-on-the-wall insight into one of Richie's most inspired trio recordings with George Mraz and Al Foster as these three musicians played brilliantly as one.

Loved it. Unique and from the heart.

This video will make me also think about the Effortless Mastery book, by Kenny Werner (another great player!)
Sure mind is important, but also a great time spent at practicing, listen, playing is very important.
Maybe Kenny wants to say that you must do all that work with a relaxed mind (and that's obvious, although today's life is sooo stressful). Anyway, i love both, Richie and Kenny!!
Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian
Buongiorno brother. Regarding 'Effortless Mastery' etc : I don't know if you've read it, but Miyamoto Musashi's "Book Of Five Rings" is the original and the best regarding the process of fusing mind and body (& spirit) in personal development of an art form. Although a manual for martial art, written by a deadly seasoned warrior, it crosses all boundaries, and Musashi makes several references to music and the playing of it to make his points.
By the way, I believe you're right to say "Sure mind is important, but also a great time spent at practicing, listen, playing is very important", because it is actually that time spent practicing, listening, and just playing which will establish and fortify 'mind'. If the practice is correct and well intended, the mind should grow in awareness, clarity, and wisdom because of that (which is what Richie is basically saying at 43:00, and why he disapproves of Werner's book).
Arrivederci, and all the best from Australia.
