I finally got that Evan Ziporyn CD, "This Is Not A Clarinet." It's fucking awesome! I love that composition on it "Partial Truths." I can not wait until he comes to school on April 24th. And I can't wait to play the composition he wrote for us called "Monkey Forest." It's a great, but hard peice to play.
Anyway, I started spring break Wednesday. I hate being on break, which is an odd thing for a college student to say. I like being in school. It keeps me on schedule though. I can't wait to go back and play in Contemporary Ensemble. I also get to go to that church the Sunday after I go back. My History Of Jazz class is going to an African-American Bapist Church to observe one of there services. It's really long though. It's from 11:00AM until 1:30PM. Then after that I have to write a 1 page report on it, explaining how they used blues notes, call and response, ect... Then April 19th, I have a gig with Lauren at the Aquarium in Riverhead. We're playing Flute and Violin duets. This is going to be an interesting last 2 months of the semester.
