we are playing this is our middle scholl jazz band and i play the upright bass during it it is amazing

[MrCirrusMinor]

I play guitar on this in my middle school jazz band. We do it so with a saxophone solo instead, but I've been trying to convince my teacher to let me play the original solo transposed :D

@Jsouleyrette lol, I know, I couldn't get it in practice, but last week during the performance it was the best solo Ive done with that song, it was amazing. Not a single mistake. That's usually the way it happens, but I was afraid because I had never had a good solo in any of the practices, usually I get them right sometimes.

[Jsouleyrette]

@Vintexen you just have to stop thinking, and let your hands and ears take over, thats the only way a solo ever works, I always screw up on solos during practice, but once I get on stage, I never make a single mistake, I just close my eyes and let everything else do the work,

[Vintexen]

@Jsouleyrette I was thinking the same thing, I have to do this a solo to this for tommorow for a concert, Its hard for some reason, but I think I can do it better than this, eeek

[Jsouleyrette]

the guitar player... it kinda fell apart to be honest. For high school I guess it was ok.

[animefancraze]

i dunno, that guitar solo was a little less energetic. I mean you dont need to do the actual solo, but you need energy.

[Pianomagicdude]

@tbcass I can assure you that years after leaving this high school, we will continue playing music and continue playing jazz. We don't intend to destroy the music - we intend to create new music.

Thanks.
