SLHS Jazz Band Concert 090529 - 04 - 500 Miles High

500 Miles High by Chick Corea, in the last Jazz Band Concert of the year, right before finals.

In my opinion (and not just because of my solo) this is the second best piece in the concert. Unfortunately I don't have A Few Good Men on video, but that was hands down the best piece in the concert.

Yeh-wern (trumpet solo)
Doug (electric violin solo)

Arunabo (piano)
Perry (drums)
Luis (bass)
Jorge (guitar)

Nice job guys!

You need to work a bit on blending, but  altogether, quite well!

Thanks. Yeah we didn't really do a big sound check. And a lot of us were using speakers instead of real amps.

If you are on trumpet ... it was a good effort re a difficult solo ... play more patterns against the progression (get a backing track) it helps and will give you material to call on when you are on the spot.
