"If you make a mistake, just make sure you do it again."

[Swordandsteel]

My guitar teacher once told me “One wrong note is a slip up, two wrong notes are a mistake, and three wrong notes are Jazz”

[juliep]

my jazz band teacher always told us “if you play a wrong note during a solo, just play it again a bunch of times on purpose and no one will know”

[alertArchitect]

This reminds me of something I read a while ago.

"One time, I was performing in an ensemble, and didn't realize the sheet music was double-sided, so I finished the piece about a page earlier than everyone else. Fortunately, it was jazz, and no one noticed."

I remember a gig I played as a teenager. My band opened with a jazzy number that had space for a keyboard solo in it, and when it came around time for my solo, my mind just… Completely blanked. I forgot what key and scale I was playing in, and at more than one point I started touch-typing keys (literally just playing everything with my index fingers). Like I started panicking and my brain completely shut down.

My band mates thought it was the best solo I ever played, and the artist we were opening for (who was a pretty widely celebrated artist) complemented me on it afterword.

You really cannot fuck up in jazz

The only unrealistic thing about this, is that the conductor apologized after that rant

[theburgersystem]

As one of my friends from my sound design class said, “Play one wrong note, you done fucked up. Play two wrong notes, it’s jazz.”

"To play a wrong note is inconsequential, to play without passion is inexcusable ." - Beethoven

Bob Ross: There are no mistakes, just happy accidents
Jazz: There isn't any mistakes or happy accidents, just improvisation

"A wrong note played in distress is a wrong note. A wrong note played in confidence is an interpretation."
-my jazz teacher

High school jazz competition, 15 year old kid new to bass, I played a bass solo once that I felt ashamed of. Two college judges approached me afterwards saying things like "that was off the reservation, you have real feel and daring" and "I love your direction, your originality."

I remained very very confused about it.

My late jazz teacher always said “If you play the wrong note, keep going. What the audience don’t know, won’t hurt em.”

Jazz is all about mistakes and improvisation.

It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing 🎵

[magpie-yfgf]

I love your portrayal of jazz fans, so many people think we're these advanced sophisticated superhumans when in reality we're just weird unhygienic dorks who like weird textures and chord progressions

[electricblu]

As someone who played double bass this is incredibly accurate except for when you realize no one can actually hear you

[NicleT]

Miles Davis once said: _It is not the “wrong” note you done that is important, but the one you’ll play just after that_

[sixtytwo]

one time i messed up a jazz solo so bad and played so many wrong notes and i was so embarrassed but several people came up and told me afterwords that i had best solo there so that was cool i guess

[caidalee]

As a classical singer, I love this! For anyone worried, most are very forgiving in classical settings. We know it’s hard stuff and that there are so many cogs in the machine, that as long as you don’t panic and get back on track, no one will ever remember the mistake, much less mention it.

I can testify for this. I missed ONE note and my piano teacher said “that is absolutely horrendous” 😭💀

[eliashornwall]

I don’t know how he made it jazzy without swing, and it’s kind of the most incredible part for me.
One of the most import parts of swing is that you play the high-hat on 2 and 4, but the mad-lad made the backing track play on 1 and 3. And he still made the solo swing!
I’m impressed.
