I explore some of the life and music of a few so-called ‘self-taught’ jazz musicians. None of them learned music in a ‘void’, any more than the formally trained musician is solely a product of the training.
As well as hearing music by these well-known artists, you’ll hear pianist Ron Drotos (keyboardimprov.com) talk about a specific technique he used to teach himself, as a youth, to play pieces that were way beyond his level.
Love the podcast!
Thanks Mark. Coming from a pianist of your skill and reputation, that is quite the compliment! I quite enjoyed putting together that one. And any comments you choose to put on the ‘ratings and reviews’ on the itunes site is always appreciated.
