I've been browsing the board for the last few months, mostly on the big board as my wife and I have been considering upgrading to a professional model piano... I joined up and since found lots of interesting things on this non-classical board.

I'm a recent grad of North Texas where I now teach as adjunct faculty in the jazz department... I originally hail from Canada (Nova Scotia)

anyhow, here's a video of me playing one of my own compositions...

Welcome aboard Josh! Some very tasty piano - shades of Oscar, Gene Harris, Bobby Timmons, et al.

I've heard of Lynn Seaton only by reputation, but he swings like crazy. Thanks for sharing that.

Best wishes,

Lee

welcome josh. you will see that this area is not quite as active as the big board but still quite interesting.
the main forum is a great place to get help on buying a piano. it ultimately saved me a lot of money and i bought the right instrument for me, thanks to all the inputs i got there.
have you made a decision on a piano yet?

well, still not ready to pull the trigger... I think we will have to see how the college job market is looking (applying for several tenured positions) before we take the plunge.

I have a gorgeous Steinway in my office, and will be recording soon on one of my favorite yamahas (a c6 in a studio that is really surprising very very even and responsive)... so far I have probably been most impressed with the Shigeru Kawais and a fairly darkly voiced M&H.

We'll see what happens!

oops... talk about mixing metaphors!!

Just a minute while I dim the lights, and get out the cocktail table, and watch that video again . . .
