Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All musicians are subconsciously mathematicians.
It seems that jazz is more cerebral and more mathematical in a sense.
Jazz music creates so many phenomenal figures.
At a certain point, I became a kind of musician that has tunnel vision about jazz. I only listened to jazz and classical music.
We all know that jazz demands a cultivation of the mind.
I have a pretty good math mind, so I can see patterns, but I don't have a great ear. It's like a tragedy - I can see so much more natural musical ability in so many other people.
I won some genetic lottery. I always happened to be strangely good at mathematics in my head. I just popped out weird.
Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
It's funny to find there are still people around who think if a musician has schooling, it automatically makes him a lesser jazz player. But you don't learn jazz in school.
I think some people just have an innate musical ability, and I'm lucky enough to be one of those people.
