I got it wrong about Charlie Parker.
You see when I was younger, and first really got in to Charlie Parker, I focussed just on the fast virtuosic runs and the sophisticated Bebop language that Bird played.
I ignored the Blues element in his playing - what a fool I was!

My name is Nick Homes. I was, and still am a non genius musician who struggled for many years to find out the secrets of jazz improvisation. Throughout 40 years of playing, and obsessive investigation I have focussed on building systems of learning for my students so they can improve , and reach their learning goals with the highest probability.
