Forever stuck in Dmin7

The other day, Greg asked me where I draw improvisational ideas from. Then another musician friend, Hamish, and I were talking about solo structures, chord concepts, sounds, etc. It occurred to me that even though all this is based on set rules, practice, and theory, in the end you just draw it out from somewhere deep down inside. You take what you got, deal with it, and just play.

So I'm trying to put this jazz experience towards playing through the Joy Spring of life. What a bitch of a tune. Before you get to the end it changes key three times on you, keeps moving moving, doesn't give you one second to ponder or fart around before pounding you with another two-five to the head.

These days, whatever I do just isn't getting me through the changes. Nothing feels right. Nothing swings. Nothing sounds good. I'm unable to draw anything up from inside.

It's like I'm stuck forever in Dmin7 hell.
