Hey Carol,
It's been years since I was lucky enough to play with you at the Women's Conference at TTU. I think Cara set that up.
You were on fire the whole night...tremendous solos - prodigious imagination - fearless soloing - resolute phrasing and phenomenal chops.
I loved your originals, too (most of the concert was your tunes.) Great writing, great changes. Had a blast playing on them.
BTW, if you have or ever do write a paper or book about how you allow your imagination, intuition and ear have total control and not relying on tired things that have been already been played, let me know, I'd be all over it. I would love an insight into your thought processes.
I know you're doing great...sure hope I have the pleasure of working with you again. I wish I could have played tenor instead of my ham-handed attempt at the piano.
I wish you continued luck,
Royce
PS. On I Fall In Love Too Easily, big ups to the pianist at 2:21. That rules.
