In the great Ebb & Flow of practicing, I"ve been on the ebbing side of things lately.
Since I've last made an entry, I"ve been practicing some jazz blues & be-bop blues. Most of the time there isn't much for me to write about. It's a big subject for me and progress is very slow.
Today I spent some time working on "Blues For Alice" again. I'm trying to learn as much as I can from those licks.
Lately, I've been working on arpeggios a lot. I'm trying to find uses for smaller and bigger arpeggios. I'm also working on using some chromatic approaches to the downbeat of a new chord. These 2 things have really held my priority in the past few weeks. Hitting the changes and approching the changes. so important.

I finished my practicing by working on another chorus of "Blues For Alice." It was good to go back to the recording and study Parker's phrasing.
I'm curious to see how it all fits together after a night's rest.
