I attend a big band once a week and have great fun playing there. The only down side is the MD always picks a lively tempo for a lot of the songs. So much so that if I get to do a tenor solo I have to imp it as I cant read and play fast runs accurately.
We had a new tenor player join us last night who staggered me with her playing - She is a fantastic player, Sight read the whole evening, and played all the solos spot on. She even pushed the tempo on a couple of songs.
So I'm doing a lot of technical exercises, I'm doing a lot of reading (at my own comfortable pace so that its accurate ). Is there anything else I can do to push my limit so that I can sight read accurately at something like a semi-breakneck speed?
