JAZZ DUET SOLOS THIS COMING SUNDAY

You all MUST MUST listen to this. Andrew would you and Geoff be willing to try out something like this on Sunday at 6.00 until 7.00. It needs thinking through beforehand if you are willing. What I have in mind is finding interesting ways of playing off each other, maybe even partly arranged as this is. It has some melody in it, some arrangement in it and soloing. Let's try something different before we all die. Up to you two guys.




THIS COMING SUNDAY
I'm going to ask each of you to cook up a Duet with a partner over a Love for Sale in Eb (con), and again over a new song, this one, Cantaloupe Island.




Bob could you please look at some of the other Cantaloupe videos on YouTube for drumming ideas. In some it is almost a drum feature. This is another good one for example

Have a look at this one boys. The drummer is hitting the 2 beat, the bass is playing broken time, and the guitar is almost as good as Dave.





DUET SOLOS THIS COMING SUNDAY
Here are the simpler options for two people soloing together.

Player A Tune and Tune embellish
Player B
Fills
Harmony
Improv
Ensemble
Exchanges 4,2,1/feed each other/Q+A

We had a thin turnout yesterday - very good reasons, like number 11 buses they all came at once. Thank you very much Paul for staying, you were really helpful. The rhythm section did new stuff and it worked! Excellent Bob and Vic. Bob copied Pauls lines, Vic took charge of breaks, Bob also hit things very successfully, and Vic broke the timing on the bass. It all sounded good.
