merello Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 Young 16 year old lad called Sam McLeod carried off the whole gig with aplomb. Info here...it was brilliant! https://www.rcs.ac.uk/whats-on/rcs-jazz-orchestra-jaco-directed-by-mario-caribe/ Orchestration of the horns was redolent of Word of Mouth material. Anyway - £11 for this excellence? Wow! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoham Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 I wish I'd have known about this, would have been a short stroll after work. A 16 year playing this? Very well done indeed. I remember being the same age, and my bass teacher at school was always giving me jazz pieces to learn. I think it took me about 6 months to get 'Blues by Five' up to scratch for an exam - never mind playing a set of Jaco stuff to the public! I went to a production of Tommy at the Conservatoire years ago and it was really well done. I should probably keep an eye on what else they're putting on, try to support you musicians a bit.
