 (p [Since a few weeks I’m learning how to play more interesting jazz
     solos from Gary Burton through his ,(ref "http://coursera.org"
     "Coursera") MOOC ,(ref
     "https://class.coursera.org/improvisation-001/" "Introduction to
     Improvisation").])
 
 (p [What’s great about the course is that it forces me to record solos
     and upload them for peer review.  I don’t normally publish
     practice recordings as I’m never quite satisfied with them, but
     this also means that many half-decent ideas are never published at
     all.])
 
 (p [You can find my growing collection of improvisation recordings in
     fulfilment of the assignments ,(ref
