OUR IMAGINATIONS TAKE US TO.....
~ Check the words on the wall drawing from PS 11 in New York City. That was a beautiful start to a Saturday in NYC of mine teaching and playing jazz. IMAGINATIONS! Your imagination allows you to not only see mental images in your mind – You can also imagine physical sensations, feelings and emotions. According to the Dictionary.com: > Imagination – “The faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses.”
“Forming mental images” – now that’s something most of us can relate to. We form mental images in our heads all of the time – How to decorate our home; What our vacation will be like; What we plan on doing over the week-end etc.
OK- Now as musicians, students and educators...Everyone has an imagination.
The instant energy/inspiration and simpatico...I tell Ryan Anselmi and my people a lot about. It can't be taught in a book- the bandstand is the only place for it to be done. We played 4sets and it was beautiful. Drummer and musician of highest standards Kim Garey is pictured behind Bob in 2ed picture.
So why doesn't everyone use it for their own benefit? Imagination in jazz improvising is vital to the personal sound you should be looking to develop. By developing a strong imagination you will be strengthening your creativity. It's what I term with my students and fellow musicians as- IMAGINE THE SOUND! It's that easy, and that fun. Those students in PS 11 know- and know the deal of using your imagination. Your imagination is the search engine of your thoughts - It is where creativity begins.
Saturday night in New York City- we had a great gig. The3ed tune of the first set I called "Yesterdays" by Jerome Kern. On my my favorite tunes. After my solo, I heard a familiar voice next to me. BOB MOVER!! He wanted to play "Yesterdays " with me.
Bob comes up- we immediately get into a counterpoint between the two of us. Inspiration and deep mutual respect. I know Bobby sense 1970!) take hold and it is on! Bob wanted to sit in on a few tunes, the vibe on the bandstand/music was right there for him.He asked " Tim is it ok if I blow some more?"...I said play as much as you want Bobby. HE HUNG ALL NIGHT AND PLAYED TILL 3:00 WITH US. Kim Garey, Ryan Anselmi and Kerong Chok all had a great inspiration time on Saturday. Check the photos below this blog please.
This is where it all begins. You have to play, you have to involve the music with your thougfhts and dreams. And- IMAGINATION! Bob and I used to play in Boston, at a pianists pad named Rick Aronson. Long days urned into nights that never ended- Bob hipped me to guys like Nicky Hill the great Chicago tenor sax legend as well as our conversations were always so memorable. A treasured soul and life long brother in jazz.
The instant energy/inspiration and simpatico...I tell Ryan Anselmi and my people a lot about. It can't be taught in a book- the bandstand is the only place for it to be done. We played 4sets and it was beautiful. Drummer and musician of highest standards Kim Garey is pictured behind Bob in 2ed picture.
FYI- Bob played with Chet Baker, Mingus, Walter Bishop Jr and recorded with Lee konitz among others. You get my drift I hope :)
TO ME- this is what is most important.
I've known Bob Mover from 1970 on....this is a great thing when you can play and share on the bandstand. It's what what I strive for...and sometghing that CAN NOT be taught in a classroom or book. It's a shared life long experience. THANKS BOB MOVER...he is a beautiful human being/life long friend.
