I heard your interview with Solitaire Miles. Recently I have gone through a change in realizing that "honesty" is best when playing music. Always knew it intellectually, but in actuality never really achieved it consistently. Lately, I feel I'm not only playing better but also connecting with the audience much more than before because i'm playing/being myself. Not someone else. Your comments about ego and humility in regards to playing the guitar were really right on with me. I feel like we are brothers in spirit because of what I'm going through right now and your validation of it. Thanks so much. I will continue to keep in touch with what you're up to. In a nutshell your entire interview with Solitaire was as if you got into my head and articulated everything I now am coming to terms with. Your comments will go along way toward giving me the encouragement -- actually courage to continue to explore what music I have to offer.

Sincerely,
Jerry D. Tiberi

Enjoying the new work. "Desmond Project" is one of my all time favorites. Great space, conversation. A true inspiration.

JB,

You left out 1 important step in your article regarding different ways to approach improvisation.........Start with a Big Grease sandwich at BUZZY's in order to establish a proper mood. Glad to see you're still dedicated, Best Wishes, LEO

I like very much Your version of Beautiful Love, a great song that I play a lot of time with my piano.
I remember great performance of this song by Bill Evans.
Your interpretation is very fast and so much harder to play right.
Great Your melodic solo.

All your band is great!

I didn't understand what I wanted to achieve personally as a guitarist until I saw the video with you and John (& Sweet and lovely). I guess after all of the years of wanting to glide over changes, I really want to find part of my voice as being the changes. I really appreciate the way you play with and not act as a vehicle for John's soloing. In fact in spite of John being one of my dudes, your playing somewhat distracted my bigoted habit of listening for the solo instrument.
I guess as a virtuoso and educator, you have done your job by forcing me to remove the blinders and dig a little bit deeper.
Thanks.

Now the hole is deep enough to put my guitar in it now.

Your new fan,

Mark

John, the video u did w/John A. saved my life as a jazz player. The idea of using intervals, triads, motif development is rarely ever approached by instructors. The interplay between u and John was unreal. I say u are both from another galaxy, perhaps another planet. Thank you, John, for unknowlingly influencing me all these years.

Thanks John,

Received downloads. Honestly love them. Will get other's w/CD's in future. Tom has always been my favorite trumpet player. We used to hang some out in Boston, W/Tony Muchika (sp.!!) He probably doesn't remember me. But, man, he was sooo good in those days (W/Phil Woods) Not that he isn't ar hasn't been since. Just the most beautiful Jazz Trumpet player in my generaTION OF GUYS. NOBODY REALLY PLAYS like him.

anyway, enough chatter, Take-care..

Hi John, I read your interview on JazzGuitarLife and enjoyed it. I remember hearing you when you were at Berklee many years ago, and enjoying your playing. I'm looking forward to hearing some of your recordings.
