Have You Met Miss Jones?
Working on 2 251 paterns (Clifford Brown) over Have You Met Miss Jones. Will learn this standard thoroughly this month. Starting at 80BPM and working up to 140 bpm each pattern for each key centre of which there are four. Then to be able to insert them in time using Band in a Box. Raise the speed. Realised that you need to really get these patterns down under your fingers and work hard on them until they are really pollished. Will try and bring speeds up to 220 bpm at some stage! Currently feel that I can't do the things I want to do at 120 so need to work on my speed and my facility.

find that working licks up to 160 improves my control of them. Amazing how you can have it down one day and feel like starting from scratch again the next!
