Weekly Jazz Tips

There's a new post up today at http://jasonklobnak.com on building a jazz practice routine using the Lick of the Day feature on my website. I hope you enjoy it and that it adds some value and benefit to your playing/teaching this week!

I also wanted to thank everyone here on TH that's purchased a book, scheduled a Skype Lesson or made a donation to my album. I was in the studio this past week and am very pleased on how the tracking went. I can't wait to share it with all of you! I still need to mix/master and then get them printed so if you'd still like to help with this project you can get more details on my site. Thanks again!

Jason,

Thanks for the great site. I am a comeback player who mostly played through college years ago and now have a renewed interest.

I was never any good at jazz but now really am giving it a go and your tips are really helping.

Again thanks!

Chip
