My guest today is the world renowned pianist, educator, composer and author Kenny Werner. His landmark book Effortless Mastery has been revelatory for musicians around the world since it was published more than 25 years ago. His latest book Becoming the Instrument guides us further down the path of liberating the master musician within all of us. I consider Kenny’s teachings to be some of the most important lessons any musician can ever learn. It comes down to nothing short of actually reprograming some of the most ingrained beliefs and habits holding all of us back. I put links in the description to his books, which I highly recommend.

Hey BetterSax players I’m very excited for this podcast, my guest is Donny McCaslin one of the most exciting saxophone players of our generation. He’s been making incredible music for quite a while now having recorded more than a dozen albums as a leader and several dozen more as a sideman, he is perhaps most well known for his work on David Bowie’s final album Blackstar. In our interview we talk about his latest album I Want More and his upcoming tour. We get into where he finds inspiration that fuels his unique sound and style, what he works on with his students at the New England Conservatory of music and the Manhattan school of music, and we also discuss the particular challenges facing young musicians starting their careers today. I’m sure you’re going to enjoy this one as much as I did. https://www.donnymccaslin.com/ BETTERSAX SHED - all my free lesson downloads https://bettersax.com/shed ♫ BETTERSAX COURSES ♪ https://bettersax.com/products Awesome Backing Tracks - https://bettertrax.com ★ Other Sax Gear I Love ★ The Better Sax Alto Saxophone - https://geni.us/BKIGTw ReedGeek Geeklet - https://bettersax.com/store/geeklet/ Ultimate Saxophone Swab Kit - https://bettersax.com/product/bettersax-ultimate-sax-swab-kit/ Ultimate Reed Case - https://bettersax.com/product/bettersax-deluxe-wooden-reed-case/ BetterSax Gear Recommendations on Sweetwater https://imp.i114863.net/bettersax ↪My Amazon Gear Recommendations Page: https://goo.gl/px3AvY INSTAGRAM & FACEBOOK https://instagram.com/bettersax https://facebook.com/bettersax DISCLAIMER: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links and then buy something, I may receive a small commission.

If I were to start all over learning to improvise from square 1 today, this is what I would do.

In today's video, we're going to be discussing the question: will AI ever be able to improvise jazz solos like a human? First, let's define what we mean by "improvising a jazz solo." In jazz music, improvising a solo means creating a unique and spontaneous musical performance on the spot, often in response to the other musicians in the group and the overall structure of the song. It requires a deep understanding of the language of jazz, as well as the ability to think creatively and express oneself musically in the moment. Now, AI has come a long way in terms of its ability to analyze and understand music. There are AI programs that can generate original melodies, harmonies, and even entire songs. But when it comes to improvising a jazz solo, there are a few key reasons why AI will likely never be able to fully match the level of creativity and expression that a human musician can bring to the table. First, jazz is a highly expressive and emotional art form. It requires a deep understanding of the subtleties of human emotion and the ability to convey those emotions through music. AI may be able to analyze and understand emotional content in music, but it doesn't have the ability to truly feel or experience emotion in the same way that a human does. This means that an AI-generated jazz solo may lack the emotional depth and authenticity that are essential to the art form. Second, jazz is a collaborative and interactive art form. It requires the ability to respond and interact with other musicians in real-time, and to shape the direction of the music based on those interactions. AI programs may be able to analyze and understand musical patterns and structures, but they don't have the ability to fully engage in the give-and-take of musical conversation and communication that is essential to jazz. Finally, jazz requires a deep understanding of musical history and tradition. It builds upon the contributions of past musicians and constantly pushes the boundaries of what is possible within the art form. AI programs may be able to analyze and understand musical patterns and structures, but they don't have the ability to truly appreciate and understand the cultural and historical context of jazz in the same way that a human musician does. So, to sum it up, while AI has made impressive strides in the realm of music, it is unlikely that it will ever be able to fully replicate the creativity, emotional depth, and interactive nature of jazz improvisation. Jazz remains a uniquely human art form, and we can't wait to see what the next generation of human musicians will bring to the table. Thanks for watching!

In our conversation we discuss the process of making his latest album New Beginnings, which is fantastic, his big band arrangement that failed in grad school, but was later recorded by Roy Hargrove, healthy keys for the baritone saxophone, how he warms up with ballads and why you do not need to have a vintage horn.
