And I understand that this is a thing that true, devoted fans of jazz can do, but for me it was ridiculous and basically impossible. I failed multiple quizzes in a row and had to drop the class to salvage my GPA even though I loved going to that class otherwise. It was a bummer
Do you remember any examples? Because a lot of the big names are very distinctive in their playing style.
