Week 11 Improvisation Workshop 19th October 2006:

At the very least, this was a one hundred percent improvement on last week’s session. All it really took was a little communication before the start of each jam, and some diplomatic leadership from Ben, which served to keep us aware of the overall sound.
Much credit should go to Jacob this week for keeping the rhythm tight and interesting. His ‘on the fly’ skills are improving rapidly.

There were a couple of interesting ‘lead war’ moments between myself and Matt. It’s always fun to have someone to bounce melodic ideas to and fro with. A bit of EQ tweaking gave Adrian’s bass some nicely rounded bottom end which filled out the mix nicely in the second half. This session really started to rock towards the end, when it was cruelly cut short. I’m looking forward to next week…
