It was my birthday party in the jazz club in Japan and I was explicitly told several days before I must play for the guests because this is a rule. OK. I practiced at home with the backing track, recording myself, listening, improving and so on, and was more or less satisfied. And guess what? In the middle of the playing I forgot the tema. Completely! Of course I didn’t have the scores sheet. And honestly, I was a bit drunk. But still... My question is: what people usually do in such situations? When you are in the middle of the tune and you do not know what to do next? Any immediate actions?

Hi everyone! I am a complete beginner in the jazz world. Could you, please, suggest any books with scores for violin solo?

Here is a little example of how you might use lines that you have learned when practising improv. Using one of the lines from the new course "46 Simple Lines in G"
