Brighton Jazz Workshop - Jam Session this Tuesday

Co-opistas

As this Tuesday is a bank holiday (for some reason) there is a danger
that we will have lower numbers at the workshop so will therefore have
a jam session at The Open House rather than the scheduled tutor. Last
weeks jam session was really superb with some great soloing and lots
of playing for everyone. A good time was had by all.

Brighton Jazz Workshop - Jam Session - Park View

Members

The jam sessions are an important element of the financial lifeblood
of the Workshops and help us pay for tutors in the term times. All
sessions will be £3 per head which is a cheap way of getting a couple
of hours blowing in with friends. The session next week will be at the
The Park View - Pretson Drove, and we will look at 500 Miles High,
Footprints and
Recordame. Let me know if you need charts. Most of you should already
have them. There will be time to do at least another 3 numbers so if
you have ones you want to do then let me know and I will email the
charts out.

Cheers

Tunes

Co-opistas

Message from Angele. It was a thoroughly enjoyable session last week.
Tunes attached. Thought we'd make it an evening in ¾ and 6/8. Yes,
we'll do 'I can't get started' in 6/8, so every 2 beats will take up
the space of a dotted crotchet (1/4 note). The first bar of 6/8 will
have 2 chords in it: CM7 A-7 in concert.
Looking forward to Tuesday,
Angèle

Freddie Freeloader solo

http://brightonjazzco-op.blogspot.com/

Brighton Jazz Workshop

Geoff Simkins ran a fabulous session last week analysing the solo by
Miles Davis on Freddie Freeloader. This coming Tuesday he will be
looking at another solo by a classic jazz artist.

"We'll look at a Lester Young solo......the tune is "Almost Like Being
In Love" (New Real Book 3 and some others I guess) and it's from an
album called "Lester Young in Washington, Volume 4" from 1956. Not on
Spotify (I think) but on itunes, and if people preview the track they
can hear the first chorus of Lester's solo (which is the one I've got
the transcription for).
Best,
Geoff

Dots are attached. let me know if you have any problems with the
attachments. I have unzipped them.

Members like the idea of learning and analysing solos as a way of
learning jazz language. Feel free to give me more feedback about
approaches you would like in the workshops.

See you on Tuesday.

BJW - Geoff Simkins session

message from Geoff

I'm intending to do a Bb blues (Freddie Freeloader) and get everyone
to learn a couple of choruses of the Miles solo from the recording
that I'll bring along....it's a priceless example of economy, swing
and use of limited melodic materials...I'll send the head over if you
want but I'd rather get people to sing/play through the solo on the
night.
Best,
Geoff

This sits well following the excellent session by Martijn,
