Ok, this is the first post on this blog. I want to share with the internet community my toughts on improvising. All the stuff I will write here is original material, all this coming from my personal experience and my long "trial and error" practice.
I am studying improvisations, so my mind can change about it, anyway I think that sharing my thoughts can be a nice and useful.
First of all I want to quote some nice sentences I found on a Jan Overduin book.
"any person is capable of splendid improvisations, be them grand or modest" (Jan Overduin).
Another fine sentence is:
"don't fear mistakes: there are none" (Miles Davis).
One I really like and find extremely useful:
"Salvation is never more than one semitone away" (Gerre Hancock)
I want to stress this: just try! You don't have to fear improvisation! 50% of the effort is not to panic, just try!
