Saxophone Section
I must say that the GMO saxophone section is really beginning to gel. The balance and blend is getting pretty good. My vibrato is beginning to blend with Kevin and I am just finally beginning to get the sound I want and need for this section. The section has a ways to go but it sounds pretty good now. Almost up to Kevins expectations. ALMOST! We should be smoking by the time we get to Japan.

Whatchu guys gonna b smokin? Great to haer that things are going well, just starting to beat the bushes down here. I have met a very good lead trupeter from ChCh, went to school at the main fine arts school in Philly and got his masters. Anyway, we're looking at putting together a big band, a smaller corporate bsnd, combos, a rhythm and blues band, latin small groups, and pop stuff too. If we can get these Kiwis to get off their butts we might make a go of it. Kinda like home tho', great idea and you never hear from them again. We are also putting together a jazz outreach program and will be hitting the high schools in public ed, private schools, and then the middle schools. We will go in and help them to work on their jazz stuff and hopefully get students to take lessons etc. I'm really happy to hear you are doing well and likng the process. I have always tried to be a student no matter what the group was about but sometimes life gets in the way. I don't have a lot of time for folks who are always negative and tell me why things can't be done. Anyway dude, take care and I will try and give you a call soon.

ReplyDeleteHey man, I just got the green light to run a jazz camp here during our summer break. I have been working on this for 3+ months so I'm really excited about this opportunity. Kiwis are great but a lot like Arkies, great idea, and I 'll call ya, and then the phone doesn't ring etc. Ya know what I mean? I'm also going to maybe do some teaching for the ministry maybe this next term. Sounds great on your end! Have a great gig and tell JC hello for me.
