Concert Band Is My Life, Teaching Improvisation Is My Job!!!
Clinician Name:
Denis DiBlasio
Clinic Synopsis:
There are many ways to alter Big Band charts to highlight improvisation; and the space created can sometimes be the highlight of the performance. We will discuss spaces in front of the chart, creating a vamp situation, and establishing a single chord vamp out of a complex progression. Also, there are countless ways to create using a single scale. This helps soloists get right to the act of creating by making two basic choices, a) what to use, and b) how to use what they choose.
