band week

I apologize to those few of you who read my blog for not posting last week, but I had to go down to SC for my great-uncle's funeral.

anyway: this week in jazz...


we played pretty much the same songs as last post, but there are a few changes...

Heavy Duty - still about the same tempo, but we added 4 measure fillers (electric guitar) and an electric guitar solo that most of the band forgets...oh well...

Kissing Cousins - no changes

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - we figured out who takes the melody in which places: alto sax first time around and bridge, tenor and bari second, and trombone and bass third time around

A Jazzy Merry Christmas - fun times: easy chording, but upbeat tempo. All the instruments basically have easy parts.

Catch Me Up - Only the alto sax likes this one...weird chording, spazzy rhythms, and just not a very good jazz song.
