Wednesday

Piano:

30 Minutes Bergonzi On The Brink Permutations 100, 104, 108bpm. I've just about reached my maximum tempo for now. Need to work through the patterns at these tempos a bit more before I get quicker.

30 Minutes Footprints 84-194bpm, then working on the solo section.

Drums:

30 Minutes Horacio Hernandez coordination studies. 60 bpm Left hand clave, right hand permutations then improv.

30 Minutes Horacio exercises. 60bpm Right Hand Cascara, Left Hand permutations.

I watched the companion DVD last night for a bit of added inspiration. I think that working on this material should really help my 'latin' playing - an area I've always felt needs improving.

Arranging:

About an hour working on a new tune for Frith Street Band.

More to come...
