I am a huge fan of Brazilian music. I absolutely love the rhythms and the lush chords<\/a> and harmonies. I love the buoyant, upbeat melodies.<\/p>\n

However, I’m often times dissatisfied with the way people play it. \u00a0I am frequently left thinking that it could be so much better than what I am hearing.<\/p>\n

I sometimes get the same reaction to jazz chord solos. I find them theoretically brilliant, but oftentimes lacking on the performance end<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So why is this? If there’s a beautiful melody, compelling rhythm, and full rich harmonies<\/a>, then what’s missing? \u00a0It seems like all the ingredients are there, so why does it fall flat, like a souffl\u00e9 gone wrong?<\/p>\n

Organization is everything<\/h2>\n

The answer is organization<\/strong>. \u00a0If all of the musical elements were created equal, it wouldn’t matter. We could just play all the notes and out would pop a musical masterpiece. \u00a0But as you may well know, it ain’t like that.<\/p>\n
