I would also recommend The Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine. It is HEAVY stuff but would highly recommend it to serious jazzers.
Greg Spence replied to the topic Carmine Caruso method of breathing in the forum WindWorks 1 year, 7 months ago
Hey Tom, I’ll address this at Sunday Sessions. Breathing is slower through the nose and it sounds like you have an issue that will slow it further. Caruso isn’t suggesting you breathe through the nose when playing, it is merely a means to inhibit mouth movement when doing the exercises. Cheers

ZAH!!! hahaha!
Thanks for the post Laurie!
When the magnifying glass fires up, it’s scary (in a good way) what we might find.

Once that PURE PROCESS foundation is established,…[Read more]

Hey Ron, thanks for the kind words. Yes, it is a very powerful series that exposes inefficiency if you are prepared to really stick to pure process.
Your change in understanding and psychology will eventually allow the brain to let go!
Best Wishes and keep working 🙂
