"Even though we only had one lesson, it was clear that this student is already an experienced and skilled player. We focused on exploring different approaches to playing over jazz standards, and he picked up the ideas right away. He was engaged, open-minded, and brought a strong musical foundation to the session. I have no doubt he’ll keep developing his voice in jazz.
