I play the electric bass in this band (still a newbie in walking bass). It was recorded in January 2011.

It's a typical rehearsal: 
- one jazz standard (there will never be another you)
- tweaked intros or vamps
- rounds of solos
- some exercises like humming the fundamentals, thirds or guide tones across chords.

zarbibilly : A composition from our band "teacher". I play the soprano sax on it. I think it was recorded in November 2010. Well, we are not professionals as you can hear...

I had transcribed some parts of Lucky Seven from Dave Holland Quintet a while ago. I wanted to test Sibelius, so I used it for typing the parts and for audio rendering.

I think it sounds pretty good. I had a bit of trouble with some rythms (If is in 7/4 and full of syncops. too much for my brain)

Demonstrating the use of parallel effects.

Here, I added over-the-top reverb.

I am learning / practicing / playing Jazz on the clarinet, the tenor sax or soprano sax and bass.

So, these are random recordings done during practice or rehearsals when I had a microphone around. I will try to post regularly to see if I am improving or not.
