[Trombone-l] Improv in daily routine

[Chris Tune]

Patterns for Improvisation, by Jerry Coker was useful. The Jamey Aebersold
recordings are useful. Transcribing is useful. 

[there is useful software out there called "Transcribe" by Twelve String
software--it allows you to slow down fast licks and yet keep the pitch the
same. . .also great for changing the keys of music to your liking--you can
load mp3 or wav files and then highlight the section you want and then go]

Mostly, I like to get a solo in bands and see what I can do with them.  Some
tunes are more challenging to get the sound in your head than others, but
then, it seems that being persistent on these tunes pays off.

I think it took longer for me to mature to my present point as a improviser
than I would have liked, but the trip was worth it.

Here are some questions for you improvisers out there:

- What material(s) do you use to develop your improvisation skills (such as
Crook, Bergonzi, Neumeister etc.)?

- Do you incorporate improvisation as part of your daily routine? If so,
what do you work on? Standards, licks, progressions, free, etc.?

Happy New Year!
