Hi all

Nigel Thomas took the workshop last Tuesday

We worked on a tune written by Steve Swallow "Falling Grace" the melody contained a number of quarter note triplets which can be tricky to feel initially, if one is having trouble reading a certain rhythm clap the rhythm very slowly and count out aloud the timing for it do it ofton and it will fall into place.

Nigel had each one of us solo over the changes on our own no rhythm section which is demanding but it will make you a stronger player as with no chord sounds to help you, you have to convey the chord sounds in your solos.

 

Nigel is with us again tomorrow night so please come and play some jazz.
