Thanks for the find on her Heikki. I've been listening to her all morning. Don't know how I missed her along the way. I found and purchased the CD from Amazon US this morning. Japanese import.
You can pick up anything from books, but you are going to end up sounding like the author. Transcribing jazz is like reading about sex. It's fruitless. Learning to improvise, or figuring out how to improvise takes a lot of self abuse, especially if you have had formal training. Playing Chopin note for note for so long is still screwing my ability to actually hear what I am playing in any other context.
nothing gets me going faster than a good soul tune. tbh never did *get* jazz tho lord knows I've tried, but I do like souljazz like Jimmy McGriff, Jackie Mittoo etc
This is a great song, by a SoCal band called The Olympics

My favorite Supremes song, an obvious band, but this song is massive!

Good stuff GS. The Olympics were new to me. I definitely will have to put them on the list to find. Great Supremes song. Sometimes the most obvious stuff is still the best. I still bust out the Marvelettes and Smokey and the Miracles on a regular basis.
