		<description><![CDATA[Last November I posted an article on double tonguing on the saxophone, a technique I was just beginning to incorporate as a regular part of my practice sessions. Eight months have elapsed since then. I&#8217;d like to say that I&#8217;ve mastered double tonguing, but I&#8217;d be lying. I have, however, kept at it, and the [...]]]></description>

The format does too. My preferred habitat is the small combo, which offers a maximum amount of spontaneity and creative interplay, and allows me to stretch out as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The headline for this post is a bit deceptive. I&#8217;m really not interested in offering one more definition of jazz, or of discussing elements such as swing, syncopation, improvisation, blue notes, and so on. All of that has been abundantly covered in a bazillion books on jazz history, jazz theory, and jazz musicians. A better [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent post, I wrote about how reacquainting myself with diatonic fourths was helping me to get inside keys in a different way, breaking me away from the usual tertian harmony and giving me a more open sound in my sax improvisations. I thought I&#8217;d share with you a few of the exercises I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

In a nutshell, I enjoy playing rhythm changes and Kurt can&#8217;t stand them. However, that summary is cosmetic; scratch below the surface and you&#8217;ll find that Kurt [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve heard the stories about a high-school-age Parker learning to play on a clunky old artifact of an alto saxophone held together by rubber bands; about his mortification when drummer Jo Jones &#8220;gonged&#8221; him by skittering a cymbal across [...]]]></description>
