AggieDave 6 #53 February 15, 2002 The week after next, its a combo gig, not the full band. Just me, a drummer, bass, guitar, alto-sax, tenor-sax and a trombone. When doing the combo thing, we usually just pull out the fake books and basically jam, improving and having fun. The real fun is when we play full gigs, so we can play the tunes that are loud with screaming trumpet licks. "Alright, at 4500 lets break it, turn 360 and track away..."

Strynx 0 #57 February 15, 2002 Cool Man let me know how it went. Impro is probly the best thing in music i compare that to skydiving cuz you'll never know what can happen next. Do you Impro alot on big gigs or mostly stick with the "plan". How long have your band been 2getter? P.L.U.R. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #58 February 15, 2002 We do quite a bit of improv at gigs when its a combo gig. Otherwise we usually keep it down to one or two solos during a full band gig. The band as we know it now has been together for this semester, since its a student organization (the school's jazz band) member come and go every sememster. Although a lot of the people have been around for a few years, like myself. "Alright, at 4500 lets break it, turn 360 and track away..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #67 February 15, 2002 Nope, never played with a military orchestra. Infact, I haven't played with anything besides a combo group or a jazz band since high school. Its sort of like FF vs. RW, I guess, I just don't have any desire to play in an orchestra anymore. "Alright, at 4500 lets break it, turn 360 and track away..."

They have a keyboard player that is ex Joan Of Arc I beleive; them or ex Cap N' Jazz.I'll go to college; learn some big words; I'll talk real loud god damn right I'll be heard.
