Cannonball Adderley is one of my biggest jazz heroes and in this episode we're taking a look into how he's helped me with all aspects of my playing, not just jazz and improvisation.
Find and trust a process that works for you, and then get into great habits like consistency, listening, and repetition.
I have also found throughout the decades of working on all music, that the less I expect in terms of results, the more I end up achieving.
It’s so easy to get sucked into that vortex of impatience when you first start working on something new. But trusting the process, letting it come to you rather than forcing the issue, and being okay with it not sounding or feeling that great right away are all key elements of what is going to help you succeed.
Iconic Lines could be a great place to start if you're into material like this. Even if you're not, it could be the challenge and the discipline you've been looking for to take your daily routine in a new a more productive direction.
Get ready for new music tonight at midnight with the release of the new album “Found” available on all streaming platforms!
More soon,
Janek
