The group is starting to sound like a band. We played the best
variation of Minority so far, by heart, no music in front of anybody.
And Reincarnation of a lovebird is coming along. Reflections of Monk
is on the burner and I am thinking about a fast tune with simple
changes but a fun head. Not sure yet, any suggestions? Also, the
warmups are getting better. We are working through the II V I in
minor, making great progress.

new tunes
Back to some warmups involving the modes in major and scoped out the locrian natural 2, 6th mode of melodic minor. And we are learning the head of mingus classic reincarnation of a lovebird, an absolute masterpiece. Next is Reflections and am thinking Steve Lacey and Monk, what a great force.
