A Tuning the Air Journal
Wednesday, August 24, 2011 – Extracurricular group workout
Mary Beth, Greg, Chris, Carl and Curt met for 2 hours at Curt’s apartment this afternoon to get a bit of extra work in. We will continue this, weekly and open to anyone who can get away from work in the afternoon, until the show opens on October 6.
First, Curt presented his arrangement of Chick Corea’s “Space Circus Part I”. All of the parts were represented in this quintet, so we were able to work through and learn the entire arrangement, and get it up to the working target tempo of 110bpm.
After a short break, we began to address Martin DeAguirre’s arrangement of “Lark’s Tongues In Aspic Part II”. We are going to get the piece up and running in its entirety and then, from what we hear, make some decisions about editing. It will be a while before it is up and running.
Next rehearsal is Saturday morning.
