I found performing at jam sessions most beneficial. Â I began pursuing jazz music after coming home from a gospel tour in China. Â I had no formal training and no means to study at a University. I decided I go to the "school of the streets" and hit every jam session I could find. Â Not only did I learn song structure, how to transpose keys, and how to effectively communicate on the bandstand, I met the musicians I play with now.
