Hello,
as suggested i'm 'ringing the bell' and introducing myself.My name is Jo,i play Alto and i'm studying Jazz at Middlesex Uni which is generally brilliant and really enjoyable.
First let me say what an excellent and friendly site this is,and Pete-all these excercises and tips are so incredibly helpful!I'm really pleased because i've just worked out how to do the 'Adderley Trill'(all thanks to Pete's 'how to' guide)-now i can't resist not slipping it into every Blues solo i do!
Anyway,thats a little about me,glad to be a part of this cool site🙂
Jo.

Hi Jo and welcome

 

[josef_stout]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
Philippe-yes i'm really enjoying Middlesex-the teaching is superb and its a really inspiring and interesting course-highly recommended to anyone who wants to study jazz at degree level.
I see you know Johnny Griffiths too-small world eh?!he's a good mate and what a player!he has a magic touch.
Bob,i'm not familiar with mill hill jazz club but will have to check it out-where is it?i'm at Trent Park campus which is in between sounthgate and enfield.
Jo.

Trent Park, eh! Very Nice there, I played there once years ago....

Enjoy the course!

Went to Trent Park a few times for sax lessons in your music dept. What I remember about it most is running late, jumping our of the tube, hoping the shuttle bus would hurry up, deciding to go on foot and being really freaked out by the last part of the path before you actually get onto the campus proper where there are no lights, inpenetrable darkness and loads of bushes.

The next week, I got there a little earlier and got the bus instead.

😛

Yes Trent park is lovely-i have been living in halls of residence there since Jan,well i'm back in hastings for the summer now,but yes a very picturesque place.
Tengu-hahaha,yes i can relate to that-especially the bit about waiting for the darned shuttle bus!who were you having sax lessons with there?just out of interest.
Jo.

Jo, the Mill Hill club is at the Mill Hill Sports Club on Grahame Park Road, about half a mile from the main shopping street. Sometimes it veers towards something a bit more soul or funk-based as well as more mainstream, straight-ahead jazz (watch out especially for Simon Spillett, a fine player in the Tubby Hayes vein), and the last Wednesday of the month is Val's Jam Night, just turn up and get your name on the board.

I believe the have a website sonewhere, too.

Cheers, Bob
