I LOVE JAZZ MUSIC

I'm a guitarist, and I started to hear about it through the great guitarists.When I began to study guitar, in 2010, I knew about Django from the internet and my professor's tips. The contradiction between Django´s skill and his disability has been moving me, until recently. I don't have the ability to play Django's song, and he had only two fingers to do it. His way to improvise was so amusing that I sometimes I think that improvisation is the best song. Other guitarists also attracted my attention, such as Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass. Montgomery used to play with just one thumb, no guitar picks or other fingers, and he had a clean sound using this simple technique. His version of "Round Midnight" is very beautiful. After that, I started to listen to the American jazz singers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Billy Holiday. Ella's voice was unique, and sometimes flowy or dancing. Her talent to improvise was incredible. I always have been curious to know where she learned this skill. Recently I have been listening to Duke Ellington. His orchestration and piano style impress me. There is a video on Youtube called "Duke Ellington Solo Piano Concert", and I could listen to it to enjoy his talent and lyricism. Songs like  "Mood Indigo," "African Flower," and "In a Sentimental Mood" are lovely, and they are big successes in the jazz world. Jazz, for me, is a free way composition, one that is always open to experimentations and tentatives. The jazzists are more liberated, unlike erudite musicians. They don´t care to play what is written, they like to improvise in harmony and theme. In my hours of study, I always try to follow this way of understanding music, trying new musical possibilities.
