WYNTON MARSALIS TALKING TRUMPET. NICE IDEAS.


Geoff I put this up for you. You'll love it. Andrew, when we come to rehearse again, can we put different moods on the exchanges?


He is from the most amazing jazz family. Within the siblings there is a top trombonist, top drummer, top saxophone player, top trumpeter all world class. I visited New Orleans once and was disappointed to find little other than trad jazz. However I did find this one modern jazz club, and who should be playing but a quartet led by his father Ellis Marsalis who is a music professor at the Uni, and Jason, the youngster as he then was. on the kit.

Brilliant, as you can imagine.

LAST NIGHTS WORKSHOP
Sunny This was very good
In my playing notes I've added this line. Harmony: Echo melody stabs tenor, gtr, kit, twice in A section and follow the descending line in the bridge.
Lets do it again, melody in Bm this time, solos in Am. Try playing at 220 just for fun.

Journey Home. Let us emphasise the variations on the chords.

Chameleon. Greensleeves. Do again with 1 swing solo and 1 funky solo.

FOR MAR 16 SINGERS REHEARSAL
Bring these songs for the workshop too.

Side By Side in Bb,
How Insensitive/End of a Love affair,
I Can’t get Started,
Dindi,
It Could Happen to You
Nettie will do Spooky
I will do Ain’t No Sunshine
What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life.
I'm old fashioned
