    This is a good example of the benefits of by-ear transcription. She's playing Parker's solo initially then goes off on her own and is able to incorporate some of the ideas and phrases into her own playing. Excellent job young lady, keep it up!

    That was very good! A basic problem with young woodwind players is their sound and you have a nice tone and sound. And glad to see young people still interested in classic jazz. Keep it up.

    • @andrea22213
      @andrea22213 Před 2 lety

      She has the confidence to push hard. A lot of younger players lack that and therefore their tone is weak and weedy.

    Hi Veronica, your playing is outstanding! Years ago I bought a reissue of Bird's Confirmation. I was floored when he went into double and it became my favorite. You're getting there!
    Keep up the good work and you'll have whatever you want.

    A completely coherent solo that doesn't drop the inspiration from the greatest solo of all time (in 1949). I don't know your name, or where you choose to go from here, but this is a tribute to the music, an increment to the tradition of great jazz performances and a display of real swinging talent and energy. Be satisfied that you have really accomplished something with this performance and then think about where to go next. Whatever it may be, I wish you further success.

    ジャズを長年聴いてきてわかったことがあるんですが、実はビ・バップのフレーズでスイングするというのは意外に難しいことなのです。フレーズがギクシャクしていますからね。マイルスだって若い頃は苦労したんですよ。そいで、途中で放棄しました。比較するわけじゃないですが、流れるように吹くフュージョン系なんてのは、案外容易。そのバップ・フレーズを13歳の子が易々と吹くなんてビックリ。時代は変わったなあと思います。
