[Dixielandjazz] Diary of an Improviser

[Kent Murdick]

I'm a "Classic Jazz" banjo player who took up the alto saxophone at age 
60 (I am now 64).  I did this because I wanted to participate more in 
the melodic aspect of the music.  It's been an interesting journey, and 
I have written a brief diary about how  I went about learning to solo.   
The diary is not yet finished and neither is the journey, but I thought 
it might be of interest to teachers or others who wish to do what I 
did.  If you go the site below and click on the document "Dairy of an 
improvise+", it will come right up.
