Site Updates
i'm messing with the .htaccess file which is kind of like web voodoo. not sure if i'm going to have to slash the palm of my hand and drip blood on the keyboard while chanting "oye como va" while crossing my eyes yet.
anyway, i'll iron out the wrinkles in the next little while.

note to the spanish speaking folk - albetan in particular - i had to get rid of the spanish "n" character in a room/forum name because the type of link i'm using didn't work with it.

here's what's done:
- obvious display differences. the site is fluid three column css and should look good on everything from a dick tracy lcd watch to a 54' stadium wide-screen display.
- email notices when a thread you are part of has been updated. so, make sure your email is correct or turn off the option by clicking the "account" link at the top of the screen just under the logo graphic.
- more intelligent links to rooms, halls, and messages. should help with search engine stuff.
- got rid of a lot of unused rooms and added a nice "all rooms" list in the right column.
- updated the file system so that it's easier to search for files and such.
### needs to be done:
- fix the social sharing buttons so you can share each page. will be done soon, probably before you read this.
- enhance file search to take multiple terms. no problem, just not a priority.
- a few more visual things could be updated and i'll do those as time permits or as i get requests/bug reports from you guys.
ok, that's all i can think of. i did not keep a change log because i didn't know i was going to be doing so much work on the system!

one thing i noticed is that all the "hidden rooms" are being displayed and listed as having new messages.
logout link, i'll get that enhanced for you old dudes ;)
another nice addition is that when you are reading a thread and log in, you stay at that thread instead of being forced to look at the welcome screen.

Jazz Piano Notebook Series
Volume 1 of this educational jazz piano book contains 15 jazz piano exercises, tricks, and other interesting jazz piano techniques, voicings, grooves, and ideas Scot Ranney enjoys playing.
"Latinesque"
Volume 2 has 14 jazz piano exercises and tricks of the trade, and quite a bit of it is Calypso jazz piano related material, including some Monty Alexander and Michel Camilo style grooves. Jazz piano education is through the ears, but books like this can help.
Volume 3 contains 12 jazz piano exercises and explorations by the acclaimed jazz piano educator, pianist, author, and recording artist Tim Richards.
Tim wrote the well known "Exploring Jazz Piano" and "Improvising Blues Piano" books and has several others to his name.
Volume 4 is by Jeff Brent, a jazz pianist, composer, teacher, and author of "Modalogy" and other acclaimed jazz theory and education books. In this book Jeff shares detailed analysis of transcriptions of live performances. He covers everything from the shape of the songs to the tricks and licks he uses in improvised lines to the ideas behind his lush chord voicings.
