Hi Debbie it’s Tony Veling, Mr Carole Diamond.
I’m living in Port hueneme now and would like to see you.
Debbie – I just saw your video and commented on it that you posted 18 hours ago. I just found an old book that I purchased in the 90s but never actually learned jazz which is such a shame. I’ve been looking at online programs but all of them seem confusing and sort of jump in the middle. I opened your book with a sigh of relief that you start at the very beginning with the triads. I no longer have this track that comes with the book. You have it downloaded a bowl or if I could purchase just the track since I already have the book. Thank you so much. I feel like I’ve discovered a treasure this morning by finding your books and a stack of old piano books. I play at an intermediate level and can improvise by ear, but have no idea where to start with formally learning jazz
