“Now listen for your song. Everybody’s got a song. When I used to chase the Trane— John Coltrane that is— he used to tell me, ‘If I know a man’s sound, I know the man.’ Do you hear the melody playing in your mind? Does it move you, nudge you off your seat?” PurposeSpiritualityJazzMeaningBlues Book:Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues Source: Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues
“You hear lots of notes, don’t you? Some have a major sound. Some have a minor sound. But there’s not one blue note among all these black and white keys. The real blues, the soul of the sound, comes from the spaces in-between.” SoulMusicJazzPianoBluesPiano Lessons Book:Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues Source: Professor Brown Shoes Teaches the Blues
