Things are speeding towords the end of the semester in Graz. Exams, recitals and concerts all next week. The legendary "Stage Band Party" was Thursday and it was a blast, as always. The police came and I had to talk them out of arresting the whole jazz department.
The Big Band from Katowice was here in Graz two weeks ago as the first part of an exchange that will see our KUG Jazz Orchestra in Polend next spring. The band from Katowice played great and Nikola´s piece was terrific. It was good for the students in Graz to hear a smoking band and see how the Polish kids really stick together and support each other.
I bought a great new mountain bike yesterday but it´s been pouring with rain all day today and I can´t bear to get it all wet, dirty and muddy the very first time I take it out. I know that´s a bit anal but I can´t help it.
I´m on Facebook now as well. I´ve tried to avoid that sort of stuff like the plague, but I got weak. next step will probably have to be myspace, but we´ll see...
Slowly thinking about the music for my new CD. We will be recording this September in Berlin and I´ve got a bunch of ideas and fragments, but it has to be turned into big band charts in the next few months.
God I´m so fucking boring...
