November 30 Recordings

There seems to be a problem with DivShare and I'm having trouble uploading the audio files we recorded today. check back later.

Afternoon in Paris 1

Here's today's recording: I thought there were a couple of melodic errors in the melody. the C on beat 3 of measure 3 was out of tune, and the 8th notes in the first ending were not as clean as they could be. Granted, this is not an easy melody to play, but it's not anything you aren't capable of. A little more practice should iron out the kinks. I love the balance during the bridge- especially the guitar comping.
Dom's opening lines in his solo were excellent. towards the end of the second A section it started to pull away from the changes a little bit. I'm glad that you all decided to mix up the solo order too.
Both Curran and Tyler had similar solos to Dom- strong openings (in Tyler's case, a guide tone line), and then a feeling of getting lost.
Christian took two choruses which was fine, but I felt that Christian was getting a little lost in the changes too- especially on the bridge.
To address this, consider practicing just the ii V I changes one key at a time until you feel comfortable with them.
The drums were good throughout. I liked the double tap on the snare to accent the melody in each chorus.

This song has a lot of promise. Keep at it!

Tenor Madness

This is the districts jazz audition piece. Play along, and learn the solo at the end. Don't forget, you can turn in those audition forms anytime. If you need one, they are on the board outside the office.

Ceora MIDI arrangement

Please excuse the audio quality of this arrangement. The computer is playing back the Finale MIDI data, and it could sound better. However, it does serve as a good reference to the arrangement parts- especially tenor sax and trombone.
