Dunno if it makes a difference to the audience, but it helps the band not end up mixing one tune with another. Try playing an up-tempo Margie followed by Avalon, for instance, and you´ve got a good chance of some band member slipping back into playing Margie during his solo!! Not really the best of examples, as we wouldn’t probably ever follow one fast tune by another, but the mixing of tunes has happened to the best of us (if you’re willing to admit it!)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>For a 45 minute set, I usually do (or something close to the following):<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><ol style='margin-top:0cm' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN-US> Fast instrumental<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN-US>Medium, with vocal<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN-US>Fast instrumental<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN-US>Slow, maybe with vocal<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN-US>Medium fast instrumental<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN-US>Medium instrumental or with vocal<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span lang=EN-US>Fast instrumental<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Here’s a list from a past two set (45 min per set) gig:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Jeepers Creepers Bb<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>All of Me (vocal) C<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Who’s Sorry Now Bb<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Georgia on My Mind (vocal) F<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Muscat Ramble Ab<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Sunnyside (vocal) C<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Flintstones Eb<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Hello Dolly (vocal) C<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Bye Bye Blackbird F<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Hindustan C<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Closer Walk (vocal) Bb<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Glenn Miller Medley Eb/Ab<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Found a New Baby F<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>This was for a non-jazz crowd at a restaurant where some people might dance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span lang=EN-US>Jim <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
