24 days out, feedback

I was listening to the rehearshal recordings for a second time. I have room for improvement. 

On the good side my musical instincts are good. 
On the rough side my phrasing and time needs urgent work. As you know, I teach piano. All day long I implore my students to phrase beautifully and listen carefully to the pulse and their relationship to it. My needs work on this instrument.

Here is what I heard listening to Blue Bossa. 

• The introduction was interesting.
• The head was ok, but it was a little flat emotionally because the dynamic range was too compressed, especially at the ends of the phrases. I'll work on that tomorrow at practice. 
• The time in the solo was a little loose. Therefore, I will spend more time recording with the metronome.

Today's technical regime. 

• Etudes from the Morris Goldenberg book.
• Scales in alternating patterns
• Broken 60 Jazz chords in 3rd inversion
• 48 7th chord, 2 octave arpeggios
• Worked on stickings in a classical piece.
