Yes, do tell. Going anywhere nice enough to make us jealous? Err. Would you be jealous if I said I was going to Exeter?  I thought not. I'm playing for the Queen, actually  - part of some Jubilee event, I believe.
Playing? |

It was cool. If you are in the westcountry - I was on Spotlight Anyway, I'm back to the old computer again. Improvisation is pretty tricky - I wouldn't say you could ever 'master' it you just keep improving. You can master it in the sense that you can get good enough at it to pull it off with confidence. That is the state that I almost achieved, in my hay day.  |

Is Jazz complex - it always seems almost random to an ignoramus like me?
Yeah, I'd say it was pretty complex. There's a lot of stuff that's common between classical + jazz music, though. Learning your scales helps What might sound random is often several practised phrases which the player often uses - all stuck together in different orders.
Anyway, I'm going home now, for a nice ... long ... holiday ... aaaaaaah. I read this about guitar solos that it's a collection of ideas and expressions. I prefer them to have some kind of theme or lead somehwere though often.

About 9 years. I'm not bad, if I do say so myself
Hope old queenie likes it. I play with the county jazz band. We've got dancers prancing around as well - gives em something pretty to look at I guess - better than a bunch of miserable musicians |
