Summer vacations arrive
So, after attendning multiple end exams from various people at school, things are finally calming down for sure. It was a quite busy end of the school year I must say and I totally enjoy the free time! I am playing the last show of Jesus Christ Superstar tomorrow and have time to get ready for the preparations for the North Sea Jazz Festival. We start rehearsing the 10th.
Tip for the summer musicians: I'd like to recommend surfing in on Jeff Helgesen's marvellous home page for solo transcriptions. He has numerous pdfs on his site with transcribed jazz solos from famous trumpet players like Chet Baker, Conte Candoli, Clifford Brown a.o. Great if you are getting tired of your practising material and want to try new stuff. I'm glad he is sharing this great resource with us!
