Had a rehearsal yesterday with a youth big band in Uppsala, which I’m gonna join as guest soloist on a concert on Sunday.
I was pretty tired after a long day of rehearsals in Stockholm, so my playing maybe wasn’t on top, but the band sounded great with lot’s of talented kids, and I think the concert on Sunday will be a good one!
Before I went there, we rehearsed for my examination concert next week with my new band Usual Suspects, our first rehearsal since the recording we did a month ago. Piano player Edvin and guitar player Efraim just came back after a trip to Africa where they mostly have played drums, so everyone seemed to be excited to be back on their own instruments again.
I think the concert on Tuesday will be a good one, I brought some new tunes to complement the material we already have, and they turned out to work great in the band. We have two rehearsals left before the concert, just enough to polish the final details!
