One of the greatest motivators of learning to play an instrument for most people is the thought of being able to compose their own music, to take their talent to a new level, and use their music to express their inner feelings. The first step to take to learn how to compose your own music is to learn the art of improvising. The good news is that it isn’t as hard as you think.

The sad thing about learning improvisation, is that many people put a lot of emphasis on the fact that they must first learn to master chords, notes, read music, and be able to play other peoples music well, before they can get onto the more important task of creating their own masterpieces. The result of these thoughts usually ends with the person becoming so caught up in getting everything right that they feel afraid to improvise, and compose simply because they fear getting it wrong, or creating something that sounds terrible.

Why Improvisation Is Important

Improvisation is vital to a musician, because it is a lesson taught in creativity, and it develops an ear for hearing music on a whole new level, and copying it. For those who want to learn to compose, creativity is the most important aspect of being a composer, it is even more important than knowing keys, notes, chords, or even reading music itself.  Read more...

Everything is ready for the arrival of VP – Vito Polizzi, the Italian/American Rap singer. Vito is the son of immigrants originally from Borgetto in Sicily, and as an honour to his parents, who made so many sacrifices so that he could pursue his musical and artistic career, his first concert on the 14th of March in Borgetto is FREE.!!

The video on the 13th & 14th will be run by Polizzivideo, which will then be transmitted to the American market via the internet and satellite network.

The history of VP is very interesting and today he lives in Los Angeles. His music is atypical of a rapper- as often this music is associated and emphasizes the misfortunes for young people involving drugs, alcohol and violence. This artist has always declared his adversity to drugs, smoking, alcohol and violence, along with a clear
message, to protect the environment, proclaiming plastic as a major factor in pollution.

Of him self Vito Polizzi says, “I am very stubborn but always ready to get in a debate and share my views. I do not consider alcohol and smoking a form of entertainment. I prefer to drink my milk from a good old fashioned carton than plastic!!”  Read more...

One word describes the CD First Light from Freddie Hubbard… AWESOME!

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.

Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including George Marge and Romeo Pengue plus a few other notables as well.

Listen to First Light and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Freddie Hubbard is clearly in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Jazz music you’ll enjoy this CD.

While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Moment To Moment, track 5 – Lonely Town, and track 6 – Fantasy In D.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – First Light. This is a great track!

First Light Release Notes:

Freddie Hubbard originally released First Light on October 25, 1990 on the CTI/CBS label.
