"Blue Bossa" from practice session

Clip from a practice session playing the classic Joe Henderson song. Playing with a "stream of consciousness" approach. Seeing what develops and working with motives, varied sounds (articulation, dynamics, accents, ghost notes, deadstrokes) and techniques as they come into play. This is one of the ways that I practice. I always enjoy playing songs this way and seeing where the music leads me along with taking some chances. For me, it's not about perfection but more about the process that's important.
