Tin Pan is a band performing American Roots music, it sounds like Tom Waits and Ray Charles hanging out on Frenchman Street in New Orleans. We got our start in Central Park in New York city but have played all over the world. Now we're located in Turkey!
This channel features videos of the band as well as weekly updates on two very special playlists:
1) Composition challenge - 100 new pieces in one year. That's every Monday and Thursday for a year! The rules - the whole piece has to be composed in one hour and then "produced" and recorded in an hour. I will make a video of me performing the video
2) Lick of the Week - An educational playlist. I will demonstrate an iconic phrase of jazz vocabulary and break it down about how best to memorize it and use it in your improvisations. This is for amateur and semi professional musicians.
