Kevin's ability to balance the presentation of musical concepts with personal demonstration and hands-on coaching was perfect. It allowed for the session to have a private lesson feel, but with the advantages of group input only possible in the context of a larger master class. I learned a lot – when's the next one?" ~ Gary Versace (John Scofield, John Abercrombie, Al Foster) write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
