I felt I was playing brilliantly and it was all because Jeff was so good at establishing a perfect rhythmic and harmonic setting. I've probably not felt so professional since!Robin Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123305335818996352.post-91186722190600154862009-12-10T16:45:41.525+00:002009-12-10T16:45:41.525+00:00Thanks Nick.

T...This is beautiful writing, Nick and very moving. Thank you for posting it. Jeff was so encouraging to me and I value that hugely. I also found him a very charming man and always loved seeing him. But I too learnt a very important lesson about humility from Jeff at a Blackheath Concert Halls jam session he used to run years ago, when I put a beautiful Kenny Wheeler song in front of the band of mixed ability musicians (can't remember the name now - a girl's name - you'll know it). I loved the song and wanted to sing it, thinking about myself, not the musicians and that it was a hard tune to play and that they might not manage it and feel embarassed. They got through it just about and I came off the stage feeling pleased with my performance. Jeff looked at me quite sternly and said 'you shouldn't have done that!' That was all! I felt very embarassed - I can still feel it when I remember it - and knew he was right. In that moment I learnt about being in a team with musicians and that it wasn't about me doing my own thing on my own. A super-important lesson. I went on to marry a bass-player!Rebecca Hollweghttp://www.rebeccahollweg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123305335818996352.post-53400297375538876942009-11-27T17:43:53.984+00:002009-11-27T17:43:53.984+00:00Thanks Nick
