Re: Re: memory and improvisation



Great observations on improv, Steve.

There is a great book by pianist Kenny Werner, EFFORTLESS MASTERY 
(published by Jamie Aebersold) that deals with the fears involved in 
performance and the difficulties of 'letting it happen'. He suggests quite 
simple things along the lines of positive thinking, well worth checking 
out!

Reminds me that Pat Martino used to mention that among his students there 
usually are the 'searchers' - and the 'finders'. Finding things and 
letting 
them happen....... big point.
