I think that it is difficult for musicians chose only one ''favorite music'', because always we can discover new interesting things in all music. However, I believe that I have musical preference for two especific things: jazz and modal harmony (this is a particular type of harmony when ''color'' of sound is more important than functional and tonal relationship. It was use in modern music like french impressionists: Debussy, Satie, Ravel, etc). Maybe a good example that mix modal harmony with jazz could be the album Kind of Blue (Miles Davis).

I was sixteen years old the first time that I heard Kind of Blue. In this moment I considered it boring, because I didn't understand jazz languaje and neither knew about harmony. But, thanks to my instrument teacher, I began approach and value this music... today, I love it.

At this year, I am studying and playing in a workshop about this album (the first of june I will playing this music in ''Thelonious Club de Jazz'', everyone is invited). This is a very good experience for me, because Kind of Blues changed the form to do jazz in sixties. The study of this music helps me to understand modern jazz.

There is a picture of my own transcription of Kind of Blue.
