Sax and clarinet students swing in recital
Friday, November 17th, 2006
Last week, ten of my current students took part in the Fall recital, entitled “Students of Swing.” I wrote an arrangement of “C Jam Blues” for 5 of my beginners. Simon and Sierra nailed the bass line, sending it back and forth between their two instruments. Kate, Katie and Sean handled the melody and harmony. Duets by Kendra, Joellen, Davis and Emily were tight. An added treat was the arrangement for alto sax and vocalist performed by Kate and her friend, Paula. The afternoon concluded with a performance of a sax quartet, “Three Men and a Babe.”
That’s me on the left. I guess that makes me the babe! Read more at Grace Notes Music.
