New band

I’m pleased to report that I will be leading a new band. We’ll be playing fusion jazz, but hopefully on a higher level. I will be the main pianist but another (dare I say, more accomplished) keyboardist will be accompanying me on synths. I hope it will be a very powerful combination of complementary sounds.
I also respect my new bassist, who wants to play on a more advanced level. It’s always good for a jazz band to have a strong bassist. And the drummer is fairly versatile too. I’m actually looking forward to it!
We intend to learn pieces by Dave Grusin and Fourplay, which require precision, coordination and improvisation. We will be meeting up in a couple weeks’ time.

    My new band, the Moonjumpers, kind of met up this Sunday. We were all playing at a student jam session. It went well. It’s good to get out of ‘soloist’ mode every now and then, and work as a team. That’s the fun part. The students who don’t communicate with others are the ones who…

  • More CDs

    Recently acquired albums: Jamiroquai’s Dynamite, Mo’Horizon’s New Bohemian Freedom (High Society edition), Pink Martini’s Sympathique and Hang On Little Tomato, and New Order’s Best Of. The latter three were on a ‘3 for $49.90’ offer, which is great because I half wanted to buy them individually in the past, but decided to wait. Skimming through…

  • Concert pics!

    The concert went well. Frankly the reverb was so great in the hall, I could barely hear myself on the piano, so it was just ‘hit and go’. Me at the piano, playing Blue Rondo and So What. I’ve walked to the other end of the stage, switching to a keyboard, playing my own song,…

  • Sound of silence

    I’ve been busy, and therefore silent. I have one Women’s Business Connection article to rewrite (procrastinating) on a specialist trade I know nothing about, a church website to restructure, and a medical association anthem to produce (check) and record to CD (help!!). All at no charge, since family members and the Holy Father are involved….
