“You don’t need permission from anyone else to play the song that’s in your heart” YES! I love it Tito, thanks for this message!
Wise words! Jazz is never having to say you're sorry.
Thank You. 🎺🎺
The message I needed to hear! Thanks for setting us all up with this fantastic mindset, Tito!
Love Parker's quote (and fuller message) and your contextualization of it. The importance of cultivating an individual, and personally AUTHENTIC, voice on the instrument can never be overstated.
That is really great. I love to do my own improvisation all the time. Standards are fine but I love to express myself.
Tito, this was amazing. And thank you for that insight into Bird's interview. Love the full context of the original quote.
You don't need permission to be yourself. Love this.
Amen Tito
Thanks Tito for sharing this Bird's quote that I didn't know. Very inspiring for a trumpet beginner like me !
Feeling motivated for the week! Also totally digging your album. Love the afro-cuban feel and that first track rocks, even if I can't quite figure out what the hell's going on with the timing.
What most people don't know is that Bird became addicted to opiates because he was in a terrible car accident as a teenager and the Doctor prescribed morphine to deal with pain. He recovered from the accident but not from the morphine. This is not unlike the current addiction crisis in he U.S. The tragedy is that Bird was so influential that people thought that his addiction must have contributed to his ability. As you stated, by all accounts he was horrified by this . He hated being an addict.
Thanks for this Mark 🙏🏽
