Lately he's served as the quiet linchpin in a scene that has encompassed local and not-so-local greats as Nancy King. Robert Moore. Bob Mover. Lawrence Williams,Dred Scott and many more. You can hear in the warmth of his tone and the urgency of his wail time-well spent in the jazz flavor mines of NYC the Bay Area and beyond.” Tim DuRoche"Since moving to town from New York City. David Valdez has shown himself to be a rigorously adaptable player and a play gent who can make things happen. With his broad shouldered alto tone he builds his solos architecturally like very few players." Willamette Week
I had a converse with Bob Mover yesterday. We talked about the huge consider that my had stirred up both on this blog and on the Sax on the Web forum. I just e-mailed him the many pages of heated comments about what he had said about the state of Jazz education. He did want me to stress that he didn't have anything against playing in odd measure signatures he just felt that young players should first learn to swing in 4/4 first. Mover also said referring to the types of tunes that students are focusing on. "Coltrane even got sick of playing Giant Steps after exploring those type of changes for about two years he moved on to just playing over one chord (laughs). Anyone can play a bunch of shit over Giant Steps changes. The adjust test of a good player is if they can compete over The Song is You." Mover told me that he had been having a blast with his nine month old baby girl. He has also just started teaching students via web cam and asked me to let my readers experience that he was accepting students on the internet. If you have a high-speed connection and a web cam you might believe taking some lessons with Mr. Mover. I would highly advise Bob as a teacher. He charges $75 for a 90 minute lesson via web cam even less than he charges for lessons in person. I really think that this is the future of Jazz education. Of cover web cams can't regenerate conservatories but web cams could help isolated music students study with high level teachers like Bob. Maybe some day this might back up create better Jazz scenes in places like Fargo. North Dakota. Some of Bob Mover's distinguished students consider: saxophonists Grant Stewart. Claire Daly. Josh Benko. Tommy Morimoto. Guitarist Joe Cohn pianists Makoto Ozone and Dave Kikoski and drummer Jeff `Tain` Watts. Bob's approach to learning Improvisation will lead the student to significant improvement even with limited practice measure.
