The 14th workshop at Leicester was another successful days playing. The large ensemble piece was Michael Buble version of feeling good. Now this provided everyone with a challenge as the tempo is very slow to start with and this can be as difficult as a fast piece.
The small groups worked on ‘Fever’, 4 Gershwin tunes and ‘When Sunny gets Blue’. good performances put in by all three groups.
The improvisation session included the tunes, Jamaica farewell, Canteloupe Island and Watermelon man. We looked at maintaining your place within the tune as you improvise and how to make your solos more interesting to the audience.
The day finished with some pretty impressive jazz playing by the 3 groups, well done everyone.
We will announce our next day as soon as we can. Hope to see you on the next one folks
