Re: Julian Bliss plays some Goodman

Can't remember where I read it, but there was an interview with Artie Shaw once where he was asked to discuss the difference between playing jazz and classical. He pointed out that it had something to do with cultural habits, suggesting that one big difference was a more formal attitude towards concertizing in European history, vs a more casual approach in American jazz. Eddie's video seemed to point in that direction as well, physically.

J.R.R. Tolkien might suggest developing an "American slouch"(heh). One of the things I've always told players is to watch the bodies of jazz players--see how they hold the horn, look at their shoulders, etc. And I myself practice in all sorts of slouching, casual, ways which in classical training would equate to bad posture and inadequate support, but without which a jazz player doesn't know his own body and how it interacts with the horn in any number of different situations.

All of this could be quite tangential to the subject of Julian's playing. It's a question of what he hopes to accomplish musically as he goes forward. but there's certainly no reason he can't walk down the jazz path.
