Heya, Sorry I wasn't able to make it last night, like a number of folk got held up at one of the shindings - enjoyable enough but not conducive to rehearsal time. I took a couple of notes from Monday night's rehearsal; ** With or Without You - U2 ** Came together ok, need to slow tempo down - might be worth taking the chance to listen to it on You Tube to get a sense of the feel. ** Don't Stop Belevin' - Glee Version ** Also worked nicely but suggest we standardise on the Glee version (You Tube will find it) rather than the original one by Journey - they only real difference is the Glee version takes out a couple of instrumental bars here and there, this will be no bad thing in respect to audience enjoyment I suspect. Key of E. ** Hallelujia - Leonard Cohen Version ** Again came together well. We played a few other tunes earlier that worked well but I didn't note them down :( What we did in Orlando that seemed to work well was get a Wiki page together with songs, keys and who would like to play what - we can then coalesce this into a set list/running order for Friday night. This level of formality might seem a little odd, but imho gives us a good balance between us enjoying ourselves as players versus actually providing a fun show to those listening. Spinal Tap-esque free form jazz improvisations tick the former box, but not the latter. Other thing I'd like to flag - couple of people had flagged playing one or two Jazz standards, possibly instrumental - I reckon this could be fun - thoughts ?
