So helpful.

This is exactly what I needed. Lectures are so crisp and thoughtfully constructed. Finally an instructor who is not only a jazz performer but an actual teacher — a communicator who can still see these subjects through the eyes of a student. Thanks a million!! Started from the beginning and working my way through.

Pure quality

Thanks for your kindness , and for sharing your genius so generously. I am still trying to plug in to the beautiful and sensational world of jazz. God willing through your lessons I will learn to play jazz piano, and master all you teach us
