Since I left college Im on the up. I think this is due to the fact that I&#8217;m well rested and not destroying my chops on a weekly basis. For example; in my second year I had a day where I would play for the Jazz course Big Band in the Morning (2hrs),  Wind Band in the afternoon (2:00 hrs) and then play lead in the BMus Big Band (2hrs. After which I would jump on a train to a Big Band outside of college (2hrs).<\/p>\n<p>I would be destroyed at the end of it.

I was quite happily popping out F&#8217;s and F sharps at a big band rehearsal the other night and I had a nice string of well controlled double G&#8217;s. So I&#8217;m well on track to get my double A&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n<p>Good Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m currently in Liverpool and attemptin to restart an old project with a few musicians here.
