Jazz Camp

Posted by Twerpo - July 22nd, 2007


Well since we have this new feature, I might as well use it for something. Hopefully NG doesn't turn into a shitty myspace site though.

This past week I've been away at Jazz Camp. It was pretty cool actually. For the past couple of years, the camp was packed with people, but this year there was only around 18, so we each pretty much got private lessons with amazing jazz musicians.

Basically, we'd meet with the profesors in the morning, then go to our jazz combo group (A small jazz ensemble with usually only one of each kind of horn i.e. : Trumpet, Trombone, Alto Sax and Tenor Sax). It was pretty fun, except for the fact that everyone else in my combo was a Senior and was therefore, awesome at Jazz. It's not like I totally sucked, but I always felt like a douche after my solos because I didn't know the crazy music theory that they did.

On the final day, we had a concert where we performed the various peices we had prepared that week. I had a some pretty decent solos and overall it was pretty cool.

The jazz was fun, but that wasn't even the half of it. I stayed at the dorms for the six days I was there, and we had plenty of fun there. I don't want to say anything self-incriminating, but we had some pretty sketchy stuff going on in the dorms. It was damn fun.

Overall, it was a great learning experience and it really taught me a lot on how to play jazz and how I can improve my playing.

P.S. I'll upload some pics of me performing whenever I decide to rip the pics off my camera.
