Top Ten List

The key signatures are not there as "suggestions."

A few of those changes I heard you play were non-union chords.

You're playing is somewhat irregular.  You might consider becoming a Jazz player.

It would also help if you beat your foot in time?

Have you ever considered the priesthood?

Wrong notes in your improvisation isn't considered "freedom of expression."

The band leader's count off isn't "Ready ... Set ...Go". Horns up.  See you at the end.

"Up tempo" marking doesn't mean ... play as fast as you can. Try to catch me.

"Time" is something you hear. "Groove" is something you feel."
You might be at a disadvantage here.

For those of you who are from the "Middle East," here in North America
we read the music from left to right.

Have you ever considered the other "nine" lessons in that course?

What's your motivation for being here tonight?

Maybe Zeller's will refund your money for that saxophone.

You might want to get acquainted with the bass player.
I think he speaks English.  He's the guy in the back standing up.
He also came to the gig by car.

I don't blame you for being dissatisfied with your playing.
I don't want to seem contrary and disagree with you.

Do you have an issue with some of the notes the arranger wrote in the unison section?
