Here's a quick and dirty performance of Blues for Alice.

Some of you guys know that I really believe that putting your stuff out there is a great way to get better! That means playing in public, giving college concerts, playing in jam sessions and also posting on the internet. This is a fairly new way of putting your stuff out there.

The thing is you will try harder if you're putting your stuff out there and that's why you get better.

I just decided to give myself 1 hour to come up with a decent version of this tune and post it.

1:21 I say top 2 voices, I mean top three

2: 15 I say Bbmaj 9. I mean Bb-9(man 7)

I say confirmation. I mean Blues for Alice.

I say Ab-7 where I mean Bb-7

Hey everyone,

Here's a bonus for our 7 weeks of bebop, Blues For Alice. I thought this would be a good one because of the different changes. Good luck!

This Horace Sliver tune is a great tune for modal study. It moves through some contrasting and somewhat awkward keys. When improvising it is important to make smooth connections as you move from key to key.

I've included the arrangement of the head. You can substitute the flute with pretty much any other instrument.
