woohoo, this rpm-album eats up a lot of my ‘free time’, so sorry if i’m not writing as much as usual. it will be over in a week, guaranteed. i got half of the album finished and next monday it’s off to shippingland. and i was asked to teach jazz-vocals in a music school which got me thinking all day. there’s time to decide for me if i want to do it and for them if they want me to do it – it’s all a bit vague (is that even a word in english?) at the moment. they have someone for pop-vocals but would like someone for jazz. what i was thinking about is how to divide this. i never kept those apart – in my book all the styles belong together somehow and a good musician should know about them all. so i was wondering how to do this without shooting too much deers in the pop-teachers woods – ha! i’m speaking in pictures, how cool is that? the master of lame analogies has found a new discipline and made it his own :-) ok, you can stop kneeling before the screen now….
i knew this thinking outside the box and fighting the sort-it-into-different-styles-thing would get me into trouble one day. damn you world !!!
