This weekend, many will settle in at various venues for performances across Northeast Ohio. But when jazz pianist Kenny Werner takes the stage, he will be playing as if no one’s listening. Werner shares his process in his book “ Effortless Mastery: Liberating the Master Musician Within.” While chatting with ideastream’s Dee Perry in 2014, he talked about what led him to put what he had discovered for himself on paper.
