A Master Class in Playing Jazz with Pianist Kenny Werner - Full Session
Kenny Werner
Jazz pianist Kenny Werner has been recording music since the age of eleven, and has performed with luminaries like Archie Shepp, Joe Lovano, Ron Carter, Charlie Hadde, Randy Brecker as well as Toots Thielemans, with whom Werner has been playing since 1995. His approach to jazz is resolutely non-traditional, being based instead on his own inner sense of what sounds right at the time. His 1996 book “Effortless Mastery,” which articulates his approach to musical and mental preparation, has become a classic among jazz musicians, and has even won disciples from beyond music (such as business leaders and sports figures) who have successfully applied Werner’s principles to their own disciplines. |

He addresses a wide variety of issues that jazz players on all instruments face - issues of confidence and mental preparation, techniques for better improvisation and for improving your ability to collaborate, and how to overcome the mind games that every musician plays with themselves over "what to play next?" and "does this sound good?" He also demonstrates his approach to music with several performances of standards and original compositions.
