Getting it together!

Getting a set of music together and made a little playbook on who solo's where. And a nice arrangement on Mr. Knight from John Coltrane. We have one more week to clean things up. Looking forward to hear the workshop perform in two weeks. And, Albert proved for once and for all that you can play you horn after a wine tasting. Glad we got that cleared up:)

Back in the mix

After a small holiday break we are back on track and getting ready for the performance at smalls on the 29th. We warmed up with sight-singing diads, played through some ii V melodies in all keys, warmed up with the modes and got started with Blues for Alice. We analysed the changes, worked on the melody and everybody took a solo. We also touched upon All the things you are and Ladybird. We are getting it together.
