My student Miles Baker (12yrs old) is playing some pretty advanced stuff for his age, and it’s for this reason I wanted to feature him on the website. He’s got a great attitude, is keen on learning and he challenges me to be a better instructor. This tune is by The Alan Blaylock Jazz Orchestra. Way to go, Miles!

All from memory too. He does read though!

For comparison, here’s the original, as performed by the Alan Blaylock Jazz Orchestra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXFlq-CKB6k&ab_channel=AlanBaylockJazzOrchestra-Topic
