Live at Smalls - The New York Jazz Workshop

I thoroughly enjoyed the performances of the 5 groups that performed at
Smalls Jazz club yesterday. The team work within the groups was stellar
and everyone rose to the occasion of the performance. I realize playing
in a classroom is very different than playing in front of an audience
and I was so impressed with the professionalism everyone brought to the
event. I enjoyed playing with my group and was very proud of how we
performed our pieces. The improvising was very melodic and musical
which is what we have been working on along with keeping the form of
the piece in tact. I also enjoyed hearing Andreas play bass and hearing
his group play since I had never met
him in person. He has been a great
sub for me when I had a gig during the time of the workshop. It was
great to meet the people in the audience and find out how excited they
were to be at Smalls.  There was a lot of excitement in the air.
