What makes Jazz Everyone so special?
Watch the video as Willie describes the basis for the Jazz Everyone language system.
Hi, I am 76 years old. Never had a teacher, nor mentor. Mostly I was always hearing “you don’t need this, you don’t need that, you are just great.” Of course, none of these people knew anyone to refer me to. I’ve tried a lot of books for a long time. Lots of exercises but none seemed to answer the question “What do I play now?” I have played in public so I guess I would not be a beginner and I am going to start on the Intermediate level. I will find out soon enough if I should move up or back down when going through your materials. Oh, and I play the vibes (2 mallets) so trumpet lines are great for my instrument.
Yo Bruce … I think you’ll be just fine wherever you start. Learning to play jazz is about listening and letting the music tell you what to play.
looking to improve my ear by playing only what i hear and making the changes
two note melodies as a gps system interests me

Cheers Willie now as you say —-back to the shed!
Hey Marcus … Nice work. That looks like a suypre concept and for sure seems to work for you. We’ll post the Tube on our FB page. Glad to have you back in the shed.
