| Re: Standards and Originals
yeah, don't get me wrong, I play a lot of standards, I played a three hour gig yesterday in Harlem that was all standards. I had just felt that recently most of my practice time was spent on working on different people's originals, because it seems a lot of people's original music is more difficult that ii v type stuff. I guess I just have to find that balance so I can keep learning new stanards. An old student of Joe Lovano told me a while back that he has a working repotoire of 5000+ tunes; he must have an amazing memory. |
