For the first Zost, we will start smoothly, calmly, with no rush.
Calmly because we share the building with other organisations who need to hear themselves too.
The session will be divided in 3 sections:
In the first section, you will have the opportunity to play a jazz standard that you can prepare from now on! (see below). No need to learn all songs, just one is already good. If we are too much, we will just replay it and enjoy different solist versions of it.
In the second section, you will be introduced, for those who are not familiar, to free improvisation. No preparation needed, just take your instrument.
In the last section, let yourself improvise on a groovy bluesy baseline.
Let's have fun!
