*dies* What do I do?! ARG!!!!
I have my first gig with a serious jazz band this Thursday. We're playing at some steakhouse place, and I think I'll be the only alto sax in the group, it was just kind of a "hey, come play with us, we could use you there", but anyways. They're a kind of bluesy band, I think. What kind of jazz is played in "this time", I guess, lol- all I listen to it the old no-name stuff you pick up at flea markets (ooo, it's the best). All the guy said was that I have to be able to play alright by ear and improv.... I'm so nervous, but that's not to bad, the question is...
What do I study?!
What should I look at to kind of prepare myself?!
Arg!
What's the most common key used (if there is)? If I get up there and fizzle, well... that's not an option. This is really really really really important.
Any reccomendations for practicing, suggestions for what should be said in my obituary, etc?
Thanks so much for your time,
Christie J
