Few days ago while tidying up my room I found in one of my notebooks a list of things that I’ve been focusing on in the past few years, on the page it says January 28th 2020.

They touch different fields of music and they are not in a particular order. I thought it would be interesting for the people that read my blog to check them out.

Here’s some of the most important ones:

• Importance of the 1;

• Balance;

• Develop Ideas;

• Listen;

• Relax your body;

• Do not hold tension;

• Create using what the other members (of the band) are putting in the pot;

• Say something that is part of your story/experience;

• Be coherent with ⇧;

• Think on what moves the needle.

Thank you for reading,

Giuseppe.

This post is dedicated to my teachers and mentors that made me reflect on this topics, in particular to my dad, Ron Carter and Rodney Green.
