I dreamed I was gestating a saxophone player, but 9 months on it turns out it was only gas.
I finally manned up and went to my first Jam/Open Mic session last night (Sunday).
I was invited to join in for 3 blues tunes (with guitarists, keyboards and drummer) and then late on got my own spot for a solo with backing track. This is the latter.
I didn't play the changes, its not proper jazz, but it went better than I expected apart from the backing coming in too soon without any count in and me consequently messing up the first 4 bars. A liberal sprinkling of duff notes of course but happy enough considering playing without any dots and how little I prepared...
