Anonymous asked: hey, i'm a young musician, and like a lot of other people i know, i want to become a professional musician. But lately i've been worried a lot... i don't know how to succeed in music. do you have any advice?
“One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic - something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word “decide” contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese proverb, “With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin.” Maltbie Davenport Babcock
Working on writing an arrangement of this song for my side project, Illustrator. Can’t stop listening to Gorillaz at the moment…
One of my favorite Sam Rivers’ tracks with Cecil McBee (one of my favorite bassists) on bass.
RIP Sam Rivers
