Re: Going to my frist BG jam
Prepare and take it. Look thru Parking lot pickers book (The Baldassari/Flinner book looks good too) or get a list of maybe a dozen tunes and listen to lots variations on youtube. Record yourself playing rhythm: chord-chop-chord-chop, get it even and smooth chord chages. try a few ways to start a break (but not w/rhythm track at full speed): harmonize the melody or move it up/down octaves in kind of a call-response, change the rhythm up etc.
Kentucky km900
Yamaha piano, clarinet, violin; generic cello;
a pedal steel (highly recommended); banjo, dobro don't get played much cause i'm considerate ;}
Shopping/monitoring prices: vibraphone/marimbas, rhodes, synths, Yamaha brass and double reeds
