For the Second Zost, we will continue smoothly, calmly, with no rush.
Calmly because we share the building with other organisations who need to hear themselves too.
It is actually a good exercice to listen to each other 😊.
The session will be divided in 3 sections:
In the first section, you will have the opportunity to play a jazz standard that you can prepare from now on! (see below). No need to learn all songs, just one is already good. Also, we decided to have a base list of jazz standards we will most probably also play at each session (see below).
In the second section, you will be introduced, for those who are not familiar, to free improvisation. No preparation needed, just take your instrument.
In the last section, let yourself improvise on a groovy bluesy baseline.
Let's have fun!
