Citizens of the Jazz Piano School!  We're going to start a new feature here, Lick Of The Month, which will be a quick look at a nice chunk of music to add to your vocabulary, useable instantly!  This month's lick is a classic blues run that's been part of jazz for a LONG TIME;  great little riff that you can hear from hundreds of artists from Oscar Peterson to Earl Hines, Billy Preston to Billy Payne, in every genre of jazz, blues, R&B or rock music.  Let's take a quick look!:

If you'd like to hear it and see a little demo, check this link:

Add it in there, and if you don't yet have the blues, or are not sure, come on over for some of my famous under-barbecued barbecued chicken, and you'll be playing like Dr. John in no time!
