Is this the same Alan Matheson that taught at VCC in the 80's? If so, please do me a favour and tell him HI from Sunny California! I'm Laura Harrison. I went to school with him as my teacher. I haven't seen him in over 20 years. I think about him often! I would love to get in touch with him. Nice job guys! Keep up the good work! :D

What do you mean by harmonic generalization.  Can you be more specific no pun intended.

[boop4T]

Sorry, I ran out of space before. Good use of harmonic generalization on the solos. Avoid repeated notes(ta-ta-ta-tat). Leave space there instead,nothing wrong with silence. Don't worry about the so called rock thing, you're all just playing and that's the point (I didn't even notice it) I think,and I know it's hard at first, even though it's a good arrangement, it's easy enough to memorize and that will definatley?(sp) loosen up the feel. All this is meant to help, you kids did a good job!

[geoffpeterstrio]

thanks for the suggestions!

shut up and make a video

[boop4T]

This a fine amateur performance. To improve on this,you need to open up the feel more and not let it feel so frantic, The drummer(good job) should be setting up the phrases a little more than what is happening. Also when the trumpet player is soloing, the comping should be the guitar, not piano, that is the style. Intonation is always a problem (horns) and that can only be solved through long tone and proper mouthpiece(brass &w,w,) and reed selection(saxes). Good use of harmonic generalization i

It's very nice, but you're playing it way too fast for my liking! Slow down a bit and it will be very very good!

[lifeinahand]

only issue was that solos were hard to hear, but this was a good quality performance!

[PurpleHazeNr10]

Well, it was a great performance, the rock bit sounded kinda funny, though I wouldn't play that in a real concert, especially in a serious song. We do this kind of stuff, like playing a bluegrass or punk song during the warming up ;]

[geoffpeterstrio]

ah, well, I thought it was creative of him to add the rock solo, but I know it bends the genre a bit :)

[Limedrum]

Ok, good but the trading 4's at 5:36 is totally wrong. The drummer breaks into a rock groove! This is jazz not rock, and that totally killed it for me. It's a sign that the drummer has ADD.

[5sh6sh7sh8sh9sh]

He keeps the time which is all that's really a constraint for a drummer especially during his solo.

Jazz is a broad religion.

[geoffpeterstrio]

awesome drum solo!!
