oh shame
So back in September or somethign Kristina came into a practice room and showed me a book of music. She just held it up and waited for me to resond. I looked at . The picture was crazy and then i saw the title-"Suite for FLute and Jazz Piano". 'What is that?' I asked her. I was panicking because it said jazz and I was awful at jazz (still am) lol. She just said "Well, I play piano and you play flute..." I asked her what the point was and she told me it was for us to play in a concert. I panicked quite a bit then becuase now everyone in the room was starig at us and was all excited.
Days later she had me listen to a recording of this new piece thatshe was throughly in love with. I was thought yeah okay this is kinda cool. The she gave me a copy of the music and we tried it after school. It was pretty rough not gonna lie. I worked on it for a couple weeks with the CD that she gave me.
And I fell in love with it.
We've been playing it for months now, fitting in reherasls with thte two of us here and there. Skipping lunch or warmup time before jazz band. We're both addicted to it now. Im surprised we havent gotten bored of it yet. One day at her house she showed me another album by Jean Pierre Rampal and Claude Bolling- Picnic Suite. It was insane. I cried a little inside thinkgin about how hard that flute part was. Krisitna merely told me not to worry because Rampla was a world renowned flute player and had done everythign else so he was resortign to this jazz business. Then we went back to practicing.
Today I was practicng some random solo and needed to see if my mom had a recording of it. So I looked at the shelf of CDs and Tapes (you would die if you saw it) and couldnt belive that I couldnt find a single recording. i did however find a tape Picninc Suite. ;When the hack did mom get this?' I thought. I statred playign it and again ccried inside. Then I went to look it up online. WOW.
This guy is insane. He's played everything. And appeared on the Muppet Show. yeah man. And he's French. After about an hour of looking him up I found out that theres actualyl three of these jazz albums. And now I'm upsessed with this guy.
So in conclusion. I want this music and these albums. Right now. K thanks.
