I am from Panama and I have seen that most of the teens only listen to reggaeton, which is a trashy music.
I am a teenager and the other teens think I am weird because I love jazz. I love jazz so much that I learned how to play jazz piano (I wanted to play sax, but we already had a piano at home, after some time, I fell in love for my piano). I like to improvise and do those kind of stuff. My cousin likes reggaeton and hates my jazzy melodies. Another problem is that I cannot make a band coz it seems that there isn’t young people that play jazz, blues or boogie. Please, I would like an advice.

Kennedy was assassinated, Hebb’s older brother Harold was killed in a knife fight outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb was devastated by both events and many critics say that those events inspired the tune. Others claims Bobby wrote the song for God. Certainly, events influenced Bobby’s songwriting, but his timeless melody, crossing over into R&B (#3 on US R&B chart) Country and Pop (#2 on US Pop chart), together with the optimistic lyrics, came from the artist’s desire to express that one should always “look at the bright side” – a direct quote from the author. Hebb has said about “Sunny”: “All my intentions were just to think of happier times basically looking for a brighter day because times were at a low tide. After I wrote it, I thought “Sunny” just might be a different approach to what Johnny Bragg was talking about in ‘Just Walkin’ in the Rain’”. “Sunny” was …
Hey, in this video I am going to show you how to play a bit of Jazz. I apologise sincerely for accidently having my piano transposed. I didn’t know it was in the wrong key untill after I recorded the video. I hope the video is still helpful in some way. Ben
