Re: "High Society" Solo

GBK's gracious and encouraging remarks are the kind that keeps vain, self-centered musicians such as me in business! My initial posting was not my final narrative, but it appears the POST button had its own idea (hence no attachments ... no bucks no Buck Rogers!) Here are the two teaser charts (in .PDF format) and remaining comments.

I read some recent thread buzz on shortcuts to mastering improv. In my experience, there are never any shortcuts, but there are proven combinations of theory and practical application, adding an unfailing work ethic (not fad diet mentality) that can shorten the learning curve, i.e., "critical listening WITH developing ideal sound concept AND playing it out" is one such method.

The parts are prepared in two ways: 1) Solo only 2) Full part with Solo. For continuity, I opted in a few songs to supplement key melodic soli sections (i.e., shout chorus clar/trpt duet.) Actual pitches should be spot-on however, notation; rhythms and groupings are limited to my skill and knowledge of Finale 2006 ... I'm not a professional engraver. After all parts are completed (and any remote interest is generated) I'll consider going back to select solos and provide a measure-by-measure analysis and structural defense.
