Hi everyone, My name is Anthony Mora, and I am a freelance trumpet player and pianist from Los Angeles. I'm excited to be a part of this community, and I look forward to getting to know and learn from you all. I come from a classically trained background, but jazz is what ultimately got me started to pursue a music career. My goal is to improve my improvisational skills so that I can confidently say "yes" to every opportunity that comes my way. Here's a transcription of Red Rodney's solo from "Blues for Alice" that I've been working on.

Hey Cats, Here's the DOC from today's video. Recorded video can be found in the classroom tab. Homework is to post a clip of you practicing a tune with a limitation, and obviously tell us what that limitation is! This shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. I'm going crazy and telling you to have this done by tomorrow night! 2/22 @ midnight (assuming you see this by then, otherwise ASAP!) Bb Blues Autumn Leaves Let's make some progresssss!!! Alex

Hey guys, my name is River, I’m a Music Education Major at the University of Southern Mississippi and I’m a freelance trombonist and electric bassist hoping to apply the knowledge I learn here into the various bands and sessions I play for. Excited to get to know you all!

This is me playing along to some of So Easy by Olivia Dean! Really soulful artist with nice melodies. I found it tricky to catch some of the little ghost-note type of figures.
