hey rick, nice to "see" you here. we all take breaks from our jazz piano lovin' sisters and brothers, me included, heh, but eventually the call of ljp is too strong to bear, or you're going through your old bookmarks and saying,"oh yeah, i forgot about this one." ;)

If I'm not back in 24 hours, call the president.

that's pretty cool to be here learning for the last ten years! i'm hearing more and more stories like this from people i know on the board to random people who facebook me. one guy recently said he discovered ljp when he was 12, got into jazz, and has graduated from berkely with a jazz piano degree of some kind thanks to ljp.

what are you doing? playing a lot? i'm not playing as much, but when i do play it's at the best level i've been playing at since i started out.

i'm trying to consolidate my vids and mp3 tracks on my new https://www.scotranney.com site but the work is going slow.

If I'm not back in 24 hours, call the president.

the media page didn't work :(

nice pics though, you're looking well dude

yeah well it must be a good feeling knowing you've single handily set up this great resource for people everywhere!

i checked out jeffs 7 minute long video today. good to see he's still got his great hair.

i'm doing well thanks. graduated from guildhall in 2008 (!) and been "pro" ever since, whatever that means. been a good few years. released my first album online a few weeks ago on www.muvolution.com but i'll put some stuff on a soundcloud tomorrow if i can as i think that site only lets you hear 30 second samples or something like that.

i've been checking ethan iverson's blog a lot this last year - have you checked it? it's incredible!

thanks for watching!

for others interested, the video is at trio7com or https://www.trio7.com

kudos on the new album! hopefully you can choose the coolest 30 seconds in each number to demo. hopefully you're not beholden to the random robot's fancy.

and didja know i got a theory book published by hal leonard (world's largest print music publisher)?
