Hey guys.
Im a high school saxophonist, but Im very classically trained and have only played a little jazz. I made 1st chair in the second (of four) all district jazz bands but i think that was only because I could play the piece technically moreso than most of the other auditionees. Anyways, Im in my high school jazz band and my director decided to give me a solo piece (Since I Fell for You, I cant recall the composer right now). Its in F blues and I know the blues scale and the basics of improving, but I need some suggestions on how to make my improving more interesting. Ive been doing dynamic contrasts and some rare pitch bending, but what else can I do for it? Its VERY bluesy.
Thanks.
