Faculty jazz last night

Hey Jazz Club,

Hope you all enjoyed the concert as mch as I did last night, I thought the faculty sounded great and really sounded like a BAND and not just a bunch of people playing... FYI - the only "rehearsal for all that music was the soundcheck from 5:30 - 6:45 just before the show!

What impressed me the most about the concert was the breadth of material presented and the skill with which it was performed; from those "Blue Note" classics (Hammerhead, Una Mas, Night Dreamer and Straight Ahead) to the free-blowing original tunes and the relatively obscure ballad Dave Scott was featured on, everything sounded natural and completely convincing. To me yet another demonstration that the traditional languge and style informs your playing and will help you go in whatever musical direction you eventually want to go on your own.

Enjoy the weekend,
Jamie
