So, it's late and I'm thinking.... :shock:
This year, I joined up with my local community concert band and we've played 12 shows in the last 3 months with 4 more to go for the summer. And that doesn't include all the rehearsal time. In the same time I started a jazz duet with a piano player and we get together once a week for 2-3 hours. The pianist I've found is a great young guy and a strong talent. I'd like to keep this going. I also take lessons twice a month. My sax life has become very active.
Still, I know I need more practice time. My chops aren't anywhere near at what I want my sound to be. I know if I wasn't out playing, I would be woodshedding equal time. I dig the horn that much
So do I stop playing so much and go for seclusion with my sax? Or, is my playing time with the band and the duet just as good? Maybe I should just go with flow here.
Ah heck, I'll just quit my day job :roll:
