I play Jazz piano and a few more instruments (guitar, flute, violin, harmonica, melodica, recorder) and have studied music and Jazz performance for a couple of years at the Rimon school of contemporary music in Israel.
I plan to add the following here:
- Jazz standards.
- Solo transcriptions.
- Training material.
- More recordings of me.
- My music collection for browsing.
- RSS feed of music I am hearing.
- Recommendations on various musical software.
- Reports on my ear training progress (this is especially to motivate me to work harder).
- Various links.
I am running a project called openbook which produces a real book for Jazz musicians.
The openbook github project is here.
The web site for the project is here.
The latest stable pdf coming out of the openbook project is here.
The latest stable postscript coming out of the openbook project is here.
The lilypond file from which the pdf and postscript were created is here.
A piece by piece access to the outputs of the openbook project…
Recordings of me…
Whiter Shade of Pale – Short piano and vocal live recording at Yaron Dorman’s (yes, this is me singing and playing the piano…:)

Last 50 pieces of music that I heard…

Ear training
I use two pieces of software to do ear training: solfege (open source), and ear master (commerical). I run them both on Linux.
I will post stats about it when I get the time to write some software to generate graphs from my progress.
