Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

September 13, 2006 | Complicated Shoes

After seeing a Seinfeld rerun (huge fans around the JazzMando Lab), we had to pause to consider musicians' shoes:

Episode #172 (March 19, 1998) "The Burning"

Jerry: Hey, so Sophie gave me the "It's me" on the phone today.

Elaine: "It's me?" Isn't it a little premature?

Jerry: I thought so.

Elaine: Hah. She's not a "me". I'm a "me".

George: I'm against all "it's me"s. So self-absorbed and egotistical, it's like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes!


So, what would a jazz mandolinist wear on his/her feet? Would they be "complicated?"

Speculation
