Little Jam

Last Friday, I had a small little jam session with a couple of people that I did a recording with late last year. We went through a few jazz standards and a couple of contemporary songs as well. I always find it interesting to see how other players process music, especially those who have been self-taught. I threw out a tune that the others didn't know at all. Although it took a little bit of time to figure it out, it came out sounding pretty good. In fact, everyone always brings different things to a song and it is always refreshing to see how a person interprets printed music. After all, "there's more than one way to carve a turkey" or "all roads lead to Rome". Anyway, we got to where we wanted to.
