Hi Barry--
In the Affirmation lesson, you talk about George's extraordinary time-feel. What exactly is that? Is that a rhythmic thing? Phrasing?
Thanks,
Dane
Yes, other than tone, a musician’s time feel is the most important aspect of their playing. It’s everything you’ve mentioned as well as other subtleties that give a musician their personality. Dexter Gordon had a certain time feel and so did Cannonball Adderley. They both played completely differently but had incredible time feels.
