| Standards and Originals
Hi Ingrid,
I was just curious as to if you still learned standards or worked on ones you already know(to make sure you didn't forget any changes). The reason I ask, is(from the gigs i've seen you play), you play mostly original music or more obscure standards(with some sort or arrangement).
lately I've been playing pretty much all original music by different people I play with and have been finding it tough to keep memorizing more standards AND make sure I havn't forgot any changes in the standards I know...while spending time working on difficult original music.
from my perspective, it seems like a lot of musicians are going one way or the other..or at least focus on one or the other
