Potential Set List

Since lasts weeks expansion of Jamiroquai to 'The grooves of Acid Jazz' I have now researched into 3 seperate bands to include in my project. These three bands include The Brand New Heavies, Incognito and as before, Jamiroquai. Each portrays a unique style demonstrating the diverse range of stryles that make up the genre which will benefit my research greatly when it comes to analysing how the bass, drums and percussion play together. I have already gathered together a potential set list that demonstrates influences of Jazz, Funk, Cuban and Latin elements. One area that has weakened my show is the fact that I will have no Synthesizer present and so most of the electeronic sounds are being substituted on guitar and a limited keyboard. Although this may take away the authenticity factor it is not an area I wish to focus on as I prefer the idea of an original and personnal rather than attempting replication. This has already become apparent in rehearsals as we experiemnt with seperate ideas in an attempt to create the acid jazz feel with th instruments at liberty. With next practice this Sunday I am currently transposing a piece for the singers range while also notating out the important brass section that need to be inserted. Overall, band is coming together nicely and I am looking forward to the end product. I just with the holidays coming up I can manage my time sufficiently to create as effective an end product as possible.
