ab-ster Full Member Registered: 08/04/08 Posts: 152 Loc: Seattle	Thanks Don. I took a jazz piano theory class twenty years ago. The teacher focused on listening, scales, harmony and improvisation. After that, I listened to a lot of recordings and tried to imitate them. I bought Barry Harris jazz instructional DVDs a couple of years ago that helped improve my improvisational and voicing skill too.

paulette Junior Member Registered: 04/29/09 Posts: 17 Loc: Virginia, USA	Beautifully done!(Some of the voicings remind me of Dave Grusin) How long have you been studying?

ab-ster Full Member Registered: 08/04/08 Posts: 152 Loc: Seattle	Thanks Paulette. Yes, it is mimicing Dave Grusin style, from his "Gershwin Connection" album. I took jazz piano lessons for a year some twenty years ago, and have been learning stuff on my own since then.
