The clarinettist is obviously a reader more than a jazzer, so this
might also help her in developing her jazz phrasing.



You are quite correct - the clarinettist is indeed a *reader* and, in
her own words, *doesn't do busking*!!

What about you - can you record yourself playing the clarinet? I'm sure
the more the merrier and it would give Iain a chance to construct more
of a 'big band'sound!!


I'm trombone, not clarinet. And, sadly, more ex-trombone. It's one
of those things that aren't worth doing unless you do them every day,
and work moved in other directions many years ago.


Don't be so modest Laurence. We invited you, not Don Lusher!
(he's indisposed anyway:-)

Nice try.

So, how about you doing some trombone on the next one - I'm sure Iain
can organise summat sensible for 'returners' and 'rusty players'!!

Yeah, too true blue, I've only been here a short time but
I see that the 'mandarins' must hang around their
computers waiting for any casual aside or slightly
ambiguous comment so that they can pounce to demonstrate
their utter technical superiority.


Thanks for describing the behavoir of yourself, Kitty and Iain so well!

I see all the 'usual'
tricks..selective post editing


One of your tricks - completely ignoring posts with relevant questions that
would embarass you were you to respond truthfully.



Short people got nasty little minds and dirty little feet.

You got what you paid for, Kitty.

but, either way, it's a pity he had to try and make it yet another of his
obnoxious/bombastic but utterly futile attempts to get the better of
Iain!!


The thread shows that Iain first tried to get the better of me.

Interesting how history gets twisted to suit various malevolent agendas.

(1) not a relevant answer.

(2) I presume you're talking about yourself as I've never thought of myself
as being short.

So that's where she is now. Things can progress. If she likes
"Georgia" enough to take the trouble to make that recording, I expect
she likes it enough to work on learning the style?



I started recording her clart playing to keep her interest up - we moved
away from her quintet (which included Tony Michaelson when I met her)
over 10 years ago!

Fortunately, clarinet ain't the hardest thing to record - here, she is
playing both the clart and the piano:

Helps if you are 'double jointed'!!

Just had a look around the Opticom website..looks like they are doing some
interesting work on analysing perceptual measurement of voice n'stuff. German of
course.

Rogers LS5/8 and Genelec 1031A.


A nice bunch of speakers to have access to.

Again with the *paid*?? - Heating bill come in or summat?

You replied:


"Yes.

Sounded better with a broad dip around 100 Hz, and a linear 15 dB rise
starting at 1 KHz and ending at 15 KHz."

You need only have said "Yes"

And I would have sent you a dollar for it....

LOL!!

Anyway, consider yourself *excused* from any similar enquiry in the future!!

Never mind you getting paid, Arny - like I said before, you should pay
Iain for the training you're getting!

Don't want me to post Domine Pt2 again, do you?
