All The Things You Are – Open Project

We’ve done a number of student projects over the years, most notably at Christmas, but as we can’t have a students summer concert this year, I wanted to put together a video that is open to EVERYONE, playing the great Jerome Kern standard ‘All The Things You Are.’

If you are working at a higher level then please take a look at the Kenny Dorham tune ‘Prince Albert’ which is a Contrafact over the top of the changes to ‘All The Things You Are’. What I want is the head, one solo and the out head. I’ll then edit everything together and share it on Social Media!

When you’re done – email your VIDEO (preferably just with your sax, use headphones for the backing track) in landscape mode to [email protected] – DEADLINE IS 30TH JUNE 2020.

Of course if you really want to get to grips with this, take the Coleman Hawkins ‘All The Things You Are Transcription Course’.

Silent Night Project

Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria, is not a place you often hear about in the news. However, this year its most famous carol, ‘Silent Night’, has been used to reference the Christmas truce of 1914 and even to help Sainsbury’s shift some groceries!

‘Silent Night’ was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 and has been translated into 140 languages. It was originally written for choir and acoustic guitar as the church organ was not working.

I thought it would be a good piece for us to work on as a group. I’m thrilled that so many of you took up the offer to join in this project.
