The note you don't play matters too

Hey Indiana,   One of the most common habits in jazz improvisation is filling every moment with notes. It feels productive, but it often works against you. Here's something worth considering: the space between your notes is just as important as the notes themselves.   When you leave silence in your solos, a few powerful things happen. Your phrases get more definition. The listener has time to absorb what you just played. And the notes you do play carry more weight and meaning.   Think about Miles Davis. One of the things that made him so distinctive was his use of space. He would play a short, simple phrase and then let it sit. That silence wasn't emptiness, it was part of the music. It gave every note he played more impact.   Try this in your next practice session: Play a simple four note phrase over a chord, then stop and count two beats before continuing. Notice how much more musical it feels compared to running straight into the next idea. You're not running out of ideas, you're giving your ideas room to land.   You can also think of your solo like a conversation. In a good conversation, you don't talk nonstop. You say something, pause, and let the other person respond. Jazz works the same way. The rhythm section is talking too, and space gives them room to be heard.   Here's the takeaway.   If you want your solos to sound more mature and intentional, practice leaving space. Less is often more.   If you want more practical ways to develop your jazz improvisation, that's exactly what we focus on inside the Learn Jazz Standards Inner Circle.   Learn more here

Where it all started

Hey there,

My brother and I started Alter Ego Running with a simple idea: to create running hats built for performance — tough enough to keep up with us on a 100-mile race — but designed with style you’d actually want to wear all day. Something different. Something that runners, athletes, and everyday people actually wanted to wear.

We didn’t want to look like everyone else out on a run. We wanted to feel like ourselves. 

When our first customers got their hands on our hats, the response was bigger than we expected. People weren’t just buying them for runs. They were wearing them to the gym, to play golf, grabbing coffee, at their kids’ sporting events, and even out to brunch. It quickly became their new go-to hat.

So if you’re wondering where to start, here are the pieces we recommend most.

And if you’d like to explore everything, here’s the full collection.

We’re always here if you have any questions or just want a recommendation.
