http://urbannerdsmusic.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 7, 2010. Mick Karn Diagnosed With Advanced Stages Of Cancer. Is one of my favorite fretless bassists of all time. He is a true original voice on the instrument and maybe not for everyone; however, his playing is f. Ree of fusion cliche´s and downright quirky . There is not another like him. No easy feat as his work with the band Japan. Mick, I hope you make a full recovery. Repost from the Mick Karn website:. MICK KARN APPEAL - Posted 4th June 2010.

Posted by Daren Burns. Links to this post. Practice Concepts: Getting A Grasp On The 12 Keys. You can also use the Cir...

http://urbannerdsmusic.blogspot.com/2010/05/practice-concepts-getting-grasp-on-12.html
Monday, May 10, 2010. Practice Concepts: Getting A Grasp On The 12 Keys. Feeling bogged down and overwhelmed with learning all of your scales, arpeggios, and modes in all 12 keys? Try this great practice idea I got from the great bassist, Putter Smith. You can also use the Circle of 5ths if you prefer) So on Monday of you first week of practice, you start in the key of 'C', then the following Monday you move to 'F', 'Bb' after that, and so on. After 12 weeks, you are back at 'C'. Posted by Daren Burns.

Monday, January 18, 2010. Ornette Coleman's 2007 Lifetime Achievement Speech. I found a transcript of Ornette Colemans 2007 Lifetime Achievement award, acceptance speech on The Jazz Clinic. Blog by Matt (no last name and actually from his old blog site) and even though it is about three years old now, I thought it was too good, beautiful, and timeless to pass up. I remember Aashish Khan. Image by Frank Schindelbeck. And it’s hard to realize that being in the human form is not as easy as wondering w...
