yups i am pushing for a jazz focus for the first half of next xchange.
i believe we've covered quite a fair bit of metal and latin in recent xchanges, it would be good for us to eventually cover some of everything.
phlemingo, i guess he did appear awkward a little, but he's friendly when we chatted. also, i found his honest (if a little too earnest approach) refreshing.
some of his comments gave me light bulb, like at the end of the xchange when he said "i came to learn jazz stuff, but none of the teachers were sharing jazz...." it was exactly the same thing i was thinking and probably would have mentioned but yes i certainly did sit up mentally
bros and sistas, if you can, just say hi and chat wif him a little, am sure is okay. some of us growing up are a little more socially awkward than others, it just takes a little warming up (like drumming)
probably will write a more event-based recap later
cheers
