Before I left Atlanta I happened to find a beautiful Yamaha to practice on. And what a great practice it was. Super happy about the discoveries. Super happy. Stage is set for deep innovation in my beloved art form of #jazz. Getting these two hands to drop that counterbop and it don’t stop. #ELEW #JohnColtrane #jazzpiano #counterpoint

There’s so much to learn. So many hidden horizons waiting to be touched by the sunlight of our minds. #ELEW #jazzpiano #jazz
So when I found out I was suddenly going to be in #Atlanta performing with Curtis Lundy, I got excited because I was planning on getting to play a legendary session with Master drummer, consummate professional, industry legend and childhood friend @liljohnroberts .
I’d even recommended him for the gig but unfortunately he was going to be out of town. But as I was putting this lil snippet together I realized that it was actually John who First said the word Polyrhythms to me when we were kids. I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about but it scared me at first then he had me in awe as he showed me examples. He was also the first one to ever mention the name Elvin to me. Again, I had no idea who he was talking about. Years later ELVIN JONES would be my Master for 2 deep years of touring and mentoring. I remember in Philly, John would thrill audiences by doing all types of tricks on and around the drum set. So as I was posting this I realized that a very very big part of my sense of musical adventure, competitive creativity, Black Music Pride, and lover boy swag 😁comes from John Roberts! And all these years I’ve never noticed or acknowledged it fully. So I decided to here. Now in ATL. Much love to my dear friend.
Shout out to Tamara and @sheila_kayyy for showing me a great time at the @thevelvetnote ! Looking forward to returning! Love Yawl!

This was one of those quarantine classics where the music and the visual vibe came together very nicely. In the past, sometimes I’d get a perfect 1 minute Masterpiece but it wouldn’t look so great, or I’d have a great shot but a flawed result musically after hours of trying to master the spontaneous arrangement. But this one got both perfect. That’s the business too. People hear with their Eyes as well as their Ears. So gotta keep that in mind on this grimy/glorious road to infinity.

I’m still feeling jazzed up. I should make a jazz album just using my left hand lol. Hm.
It’s actually not such a bad idea at this point. I got some new ideas to practice on. New levels to bust up on. I feel excited. If my calculations are correct, I should be able to enter a new Dragonball Z level of Left Hand abilities. Gotta find a piano to practice on in ATLANTA. I’m still here 😆. #ELEW #WayneShorter #jazzpiano #jazzsaxophone #jazz FWYH
