I had a teacher, who I doubt ever went beyond the 8th grade, who told me to practice a certain chord progression until I was so bored with it that I could play it while reading the box scores in the morning paper. Only then would I be able to "play" it. This seems to confirm what they were saying in the article.
I saw Herbie Hancock at The Palms. The person I bought from on Stubhub flaked and they offered alternative seats. Anyway, I was in the front row, right in front of Herbie. It was also his birthday, so just an extra special experience.
Spectacular show. Obviously, anyone playing with this guy is a beast. But man, what an effing band.
Def. See this tour if you get a chance. IDK how many people in this thread are in Vegas, but I'd welcome some discussion of live music here.
