. . and sweat is the pathos of humanity . . .(heh) . .but jazz is the music of sweat and the tides turning, the mood growing and oppression losing. It is instinct and scales. I have a jazzy soul and in there you can fit blues and soul and then even a little country.
I want to stand up and croon that, learn to spoon that, rewrite the ending and balloon that.
I want to swing, I want to groove, I want to share my saturated learning and set hearts burning. I want to play with exceptional musicians and keep jazz alive.
I guess what I can do to start is learn a new song every week/day or so.
use time to practice. Even alone in the park.
You have the time – just set goals.
You can do it. You are doing it.

I got my venue for the October gig! My husband and I went out to check out a few places and ended up in a little Italian restaurant that didn’t have music. As we were leaving one of the employees came literally running after me telling me that she was opening up her own restaurant and wanting to tell us about it. Turns out she is having live music in her new restaurant and would be happy to have jazz there!!! Can’t believe the “luck”. Why did that woman come chasing after me out to the sidewalk? Why did we end up in that particular restaurant in the first place???

I’ve really been at it for several years and have had a couple of litle amateur gigs, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Actually I’m not sure what I want, (have a day job and family, etc.) except to know that I’m singing really well and with huge heart and that people are getting it. I love the interactions with the band, the on the fly arrangements and improvisation. I’m just getting started with that part of it, and just getting deeper into the music theory and construction of the songs and changes. That part is exciting for me these days.
I have a gig coming up at the end of October. What I need to do is practice the music every day to be really ready for that. I can use all the support I can get.

I’m really jealous of all the jazz singers because of their voices and life choises. I know that can never be real for me; but maybe someday I can go up the stage and sing at least once in my silky dress with odions adoring me and may voice! :O)
