Exploring Jazz Arranging

[Sherry C]

Howdy Herbert,

He indeed is a master! He has some excellent articles about music in general that anyone can access from his Articles page at http://www.chuckisraels.com/articles.htm

PS: Bass players of the world unite!

Yes! I didn't know you were a "low life" as well - I'm in great company, then

Some years ago I was teaching bass to an exchange student from South Korea. He was so excited to be learning that he wanted to play a bass duet with me for our church's Christmas program. That was the first (and only time so far) that I've been able to do something like that with another bass player. And boy, was it fun It was a jazzy arrangement of "O Come All Ye Faithful" that I came up with that was pretty easy and open, and leant itself well to covering any mistakes that we might make

ttfn,
Sherry
