Hi Dougie....yes it seems you are getting it right.....I'm unfamiliar with the tune but basically you are using a D dominant 7th and you can usr all the other...
Dougie Bloody marvellous. Learnt loads. Playing sax for, I suppose, totalling six hours each day, all of it sight-reading. We played in a large ensemble, and...
Hi Moz Great to hear you had such a good time, here also is perhaps the answer to Tom's suggestion. Those who were interested could book up for next year and...
