In attendance: Rick McCarthy, Chris Paquette, Brad Hogg, Glenn Hughes, and Dev Ray.
Getting started a little earlier than the week before, we begin with a bit of a pause before jumping straight in with the opening 16 chords of Chrysanthemum, presented by Glenn. Work on this is pretty direct: the sequence is long*, and there's a couple of jumps thrown in that are not difficult, but are hard to remember where they are. The most difficult part of this, for the scribe, is reconciling the root movement and the suggested fingering of the notes. Work on this takes us straight up to 9 p.m., and a break ensues.
After some small talk, we reconvene, and discuss the upcoming gig on July 7th: who will open, what we might do. After this, we make some very clear headway with MHB, having both the chordal structure and the primary melody down. A circulation and improv to close the night, and we finish at about 10:15 or so.
*The sequence of the root movement will be in a comment on this post.
