CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE FOR A FANTASTIC 2023 NYC CONCERT TOUR! I’M SO PROUD OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR DOING SO WELL THROUGHOUT THE TOUR!!
We’ll see everyone (No Luna) tomorrow, Sunday, July 2nd, for our 3:45 to 6:30pm rehearsal at Denver Percussion. Gabby will be joining us as a back-up for Luna throughout our remaining time throughout July. This will be Lena’s final rehearsal with us, so let’s make it a really good one! We need to select and prepare our 10 tunes for our Tuesday, July 4th (noon-2:30pm, 1-2 pm Performance; No Luna). The entire set list will also need to be revisited, so we can revise it, as needed (without tenor sax). We’ll rehearse as many selections as possible for Gabby to feel comfortable. Please bring all your music, a pencil, and improv book to every rehearsal. We’ll work on pg. 36 & beyond, in our improv book. Caedon has Sunday’s listening. Sebastian would also like to try adding accordion a bit in our set.
Bennett – Please bring the collapsible stool and hard cymbal case on Sunday, so they can be returned to the Denver Jazz Club.
