9:41 PM | Link | This week I had a great rehearsal with the Ernesto Marquez Quintet, a new combo focused on Latin jazz. Actually, the group is just a new mix of my usual musical pals - Ernesto & Jonathan on horns, Chris on bass (which is amazing since he's primarily a guitarist), Steve on keys (from Stella), and myself on drums. One of Ernesto's musical colleagues is going to join us every now and then to add a trombone to the mix, which is exciting. We originally got together to play a quick Christmas party last year, but we had so much fun that we've decided to keep rehearsing and see what happens. Since Ernesto is stepping up to organize everything, the band is named for him (and his name sounds the coolest for a Latin jazz band). This week we really had a good time - it's so much fun playing styles that I learned in my early days of drum lessons, but rarely get to play. I even bought a new drum book with more Latin rhythms for me to try, so I'm pretty psyched about it! |
