Big Band Jazz Concert – 12/09/2010

On Sunday 12/09/2010 at 4.30pm there is a concert of the Manawatu Jazz Club Big Band at the Masonic Hotel, which I am part of. I will be playing at least one solo, so be prepared, whatever that means

There might be a small cover charge, however last time it was not compulsory.

Hope to see you there. If you are into Jazz it is well worth the visit. We often have high quality singers and we are generally well accepted.

Music is the key

I would like to write something down that I learned in my music lessons:

Order of sharps: Fat Cats Get Down And Elegantly Boogy (FCGDAEB).

Order of flats: Big Elephants Always Do Great Circus Feats (BEADGCF).

This is related to the Circle of Fifths or also called Circle of Fourths. This circle is quite important in music as the number of flats or sharps depends on the position of the major scale in this circle. From the top it goes CGDA…

This post is really just for me to remember.
