I don’t get to play jazz all that often but I’m thankful for the amount of time I spent practicing it in my 20’s. It translates into other areas and took me out of being a strictly pentatonic player. Triads and 7th chord arpeggios, approach notes, playing over each chord individually. Smooth Sailing

I’m Captain Monk. I’m a multi instrumentalist and songwriter (and professional musician). I play all the instruments on my recordings and in the last year and a half have put together my favorite live band that I’ve been a part of. This is from soundcheck last night. “Itch.”
