Summary of Combo Rehearsals

This from Jansen Leggett for the Michael Glynn group ...

Jeep’s Blues notes

Ending on bar 11 beat 2 

Everyone prepare to solo on this tune.

After You’ve Gone

Natalie took the melody and sounded great. 

The group is still struggling with the form of this tune, I think they could fix that by just listening to the tune. 

Find ways to simplify the chords

Bb- to Eb7, leave some space beforehand to prepare yourself. Look ahead, knowing where you are going is more important than where you are.

Vibes and guitar, practice physically taking breaths as if you are a horn player. When transcribing horn players, breath when they breath. 

When Lights Are Low

Listen to Miles recording. He didn’t even play the bridge. Bridge is 2-5-1s in Ab, B, and D. 2 measures each, then turn around into F (really just a stretched out 2-5 into F)

First 3 1/2 bars of each A, you can just hang out in F.

The Things We Did Last Summer

Keep straight 8ths and swing separate, even though bass has triplets. Solo sections are split in half. 

Trumpet pick up notes into 147 are 3 half notes in the new tempo.

Hunter set the new tempo perfectly in the rehearsal

July 17th summary; Milo Peterson group - submitted by Joel Steinke

Sarah and Anthony were able to make this colony, so we worked on our two tunes, My Little Suede Shoes, and Solar. 

Similar to last time, we worked on deepening our understanding of the chord changes with our patterns and talked shop on various grooves (Rumba and Son Claves). Both Sarah and Anthony had to leave early, so Jai, Joel, and Milo talked about the lesser-known Harmonic Major scale and its applicable uses for the last hour of Colony. 

(Tim Carey out) - 7/17
Dylan Allrud-Faltisco & King Dawidalle w Jack Roben 


Tim Carey called out sick so King and I led the combo with help from guitarist Jack Roben (alum of EW and University of North Texas) and some later guidance from Mr. B. 

We rehearsed Tim Carey’s arrangements but spent our time mainly on comprehending the chord progressions of the songs. The benefit to vertical lines - 1 3 5 7 9 in different orders - as opposed to scale lines, is the better way to outline each harmony in the changes for the benefits of learning the harmonies, building lines and running those lines in different orders (aka permutations), and as we go forward, collecting this knowledge to start designing well-informed and longer lines over several bars/changes. We started focusing on the latter skill a couple weeks ago when we drilled chord tones over major and minor ii V I ’s.
