Bebop to Hard Bop Workshop
Today the Bebop to Hard Bop Workshop had Andrea Veneziani subbing for Mark Sherman. We worked on the tunes are going to be played at Smalls. We decided endings and introductions and worked a lot on interplay and the melodies.
We also talked on how to comp the bass player during the solo and how to trade with drummers before heading back to the last head. Those are always the most difficult moments of a jazz group performance!
