in llama land theres a one man band
singing jazz solo is good fun because you can sing it however the hell you like coz thats kinda what jazz is all about.
singing jazz with SATB (soprano alto tenor n bass) is a NIGHTMARE! especially when you get the score very very late. everytime the harmonising sounded weird we would stop only to be told to continue by our musical director.." dont stop, it may have sounded horrid but what you were singing was actually correct.. thats jazz". what makes matters worse is that with this song (which is 'come fly with me' btw) the sopranos (me included) doesnt get the melody all the way through. so im gonna have to concentrate really really really hard and pay attention to the score.
my only consolation is that we'll be singing this piece with the jazz band and not acapella like our other songs.
i hope the band drowns us.
and you know what.. he has the voice of an angel.
ok actually i dont know what angels sound like.
but you get the picture.
