Combo: The group was given an arrangement of Herbie Hancock's Watermelon Man. We listened to the original version as well as the famous recording from the Headhunters album, and worked on combining the two into our own arrangement.

The Joe Henderson combo talked about making some backgrounds for the melody on Night and Day. Keep working on connecting some ideas on bar 9. Professor Dissendadt needs some work on the melody - time is everything. Also, play the blues on the solo section. We will work on Kyles Blues next time. Please have all the tunes memorized.

My combo is narrowing down the two tunes we are going to play for the last gig this summer to perdidio and samba de orfeo. For samba de orfeo we worked on alternate changes that one of our horns will play over during his solo. Dan also brought out a new tune for us to learn called Silver Serenade by Horace Silver. For the shout part he showed us rhythms that the horns and rhythm section play together and we sight read that part with the tune. We will see if everyone is memorizing their tunes. We are still working that out.

Instead of choosing two new tunes, we decided to stick with our tune "Four" and choose only one new tune. We decided on an unorthodox arrangement that our trombonist Graham Everhart put together. We spent most of our time rehearsing, discussing and tweaking the arrangement that Graham wrote, focusing particularly on the replacement of some chords and melodic lines to make the piece flow/sound better.

The Sunflower group spent the hour working out our new arrangement by Jai Lasker of Horace Silver's Peace. Next week we will finalize our arrangement of Blues on the Corner.
As you are probably aware the City of Edmonds is conducting an Economic Impact of Arts and Culture Study, working with Berk Consulting and AdvisArts. One of the things we are doing to collect data is a very brief anonymous survey of community members and visitors. In addition to this online survey there is an online Story Collector where people can share their stories about the importance of arts in their lives.
Congratulations on another Jazz Colony summer – it has been great to hear the performances at the Port!
