[Dixielandjazz] Hal Galper

[Stephen Barbone]

List Mates:

Just got the following press release from Hal Galper. No wonder we can't
agree on what jazz is. We've been screwed up since childhood. ;-)

For those who do not know Hal Galper, he is a mainstream jazz pianist.
Worked with Phil Woods, Chet Baker and others. Recorded about 80 times.
Has several Grammy nominations. Is a teacher of music and a
distinguished graduate of the Berklee College of Music. He contends that
many jazz player wannabes today have trouble playing jazz because their
childhood musical training was not relevant. Same goes for fans.

"How Long Has This Been Going On?

Cheers,
Steve Barbone

Forward Motion illustrates that most concepts learned in early childhood
musical training are not applicable to adult musical behavior. That
music is almost universally taught "backwards" from the way inner
hearing
functions.
