I've heard some pianists recently that have a particular kind of style, basically they go way outside of the changes and develop their solo completely independently, but with strong harmonic and motivic development, and they will stay outside and free for like multiple choruses and then bring it back in right at the very end. I'm not talking about like McCoy style going out by going up a half step for one bar, it's much more elaborate, more modern, but still works in a piano trio for instance.

I'm having trouble finding good pianists with recordings like this that I can study, but I'm quite sure it's been done by a few people. I've listened to some Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett, Cecil Taylor, Andrew Hill, Paul Bley, etc. none of them are doing exactly what I have in mind.

Anyone knows what I'm talking about that can recommend someone for me to check out? Thanks.

Hi, I'll try to be brief. I am in my 30s, I have a day job, but I've played piano for many years. I have a few years of classical lessons but I am mostly centered in jazz, fairly strong in ear and improv and theory.

I've taught a couple of students throughout my life but they never lasted more than a few lessons before giving up (adult students). I have no official certifications in piano. I don't really need the money, I just am thinking of eventually soft retiring into a music hobby career. I'm not interested in teaching super young kids necessarily, but I'd be certainly open to teaching beginners. But my concern is that the market is just absolutely flooded with piano teachers who actually have the standard set of qualifications, so I don't know if I really fit any role in the ecosystem.

I know a jazz background is maybe slightly more rare in some places and that could be valuable, but on the flip side I don't think a lot of beginners typically seek out jazz teachers specifically though I could be wrong. And I wouldn't feel super comfortable teaching advanced players. But for instance I see a lot of people on reddit who seem like they are at the level that I could teach them. But yeah overall I'm not sure if it's realistic or worth my time, and if it was, what would be a good way to really try to launch that. Appreciate any tips.

Hi, I'm a jazz pianist in my 30s. I've been playing for over a decade and know the music pretty well, but my chops are really not at all where I want them to be. I spent my 20s working a day job not music related, and just focusing more on that, spent several years really not practicing. Lately I've gotten very inspired again and started practicing a lot on the daily, but obviously it's hard to not feel behind all the time. I go to jams and see young kids who are way better than me on a regular basis.

Wonder if others have experienced this but still been able to push through and really make great strides later in life, and what that was like?

I always wanted these games to have shoulder swapping like other third person shooters, don't know why they didn't (people say RE5 or 6 have it baked in, and RE9 kind of has it plus an RE9 mod exists for it). Finally got around to playing with mods and making one for this.

I kept things very minimal and simple just to get something workable published as quickly as possible, and also because I want people to feel safe using it and all that, it's just one small script for each game that controls the camera, and it uses REFramework, which is trusted and super easy to install.

It has full support for KBM and controller, with custom key bindings. Also, the character poses/animations obviously aren't designed to look great in flipped shoulder mode, and I only made camera tweaks, didn't touch any animation data for this so it doesn't look amazing but I think functionally it's very adequate if you wanna do a full play through with being able to shoulder swap.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all and enjoy!
