Just dusted off the chart for this one, havnt played it in years:
It's the chart that was chosen for us to practice individually in-between our practice/jam sessions.
I've been playing music weekly with some co-workers for about 2 months now. We read charts and play jazz. We got keys (me), a guitar player, a sax player, and now a drummer.
The best part about it is that everyone, independent of their individual tastes, styles and competency, is rhythmically sensitive, which is soooo important. That's one of those things you can't really teach imo: The ability to adapt and be sensitive to what everyone else is playing without having to stick to a beat or a tempo. I'm totally confident that if we continue to practice regularly and develop a repertoire that we could get gigs, not that it is necessarily a goal.
Oh, and a bass player would free me up a lot (esp. during my solos) as it dominates my left hand
. But thats OK w me because I enjoy playing rhythm.
