Of sessions and tunes, hey? I am not fan of participating to sessions as they turn out being either boring (tunes that are fashionnable for, say, 20 years) or held by leaders that play standards aand do not listen to others that may have to play. Hence local to very local fashions that are 95% the same wherever you are (within region). I like the discovery of new tunes so I must travel long distances to hear different sessions.

Not being a champion at reading, I always look at a score very suspiciously, at first. But nowadays, there are user-friendly sofwares that makes it possible to hear a tune quite quickly. So now, I learn from scores and there are thousands of unheard tunes in these books. Maybe I have time to choose because I do not have the pressure of the next session... Too much of anything kills the anything in question.

Salut,

JL
