Super Jazz Jam



Hey.
Last Friday night, I had my first Jazz gig at Loeb playhouse. It is a music theater in one of the university buildings and the sound system in the place is pretty wicked.
We played four pieces
When you are smiling
North Shore Morning
Straight Up and Fly Right
Better Get Hit in Your Soul.




Better Get~ was so cool. this piece went for about 10 minutes, about 4 people had massive solos. hehe they had a clapping section as well! it was so hard! I was trying so hard not to mis clap because that would be really embarassing.

Hehe I think I had a accidental wrong note at the completely wrong place incidence a few times and that gathered a lot of laughs after the gig. Overall I think we played really well and I asked one of my friends to take a video of us playing so it was good :)

After out band played, there were AMRE (American Music Repetoire Ensemble) and Purdue Jazz Band. Both of them were just so impressive. They play hard core Jazz music. Their solos, solis. ahhh just soo good.



But anyway, thats all the news for me.

Bye

The door to the Loeb Playhouse looks like a baggage conveyor entrance at the airport...

Respect for the use of Jam :)
