After an overwhelming day 1 fully immersed in jazz, day 2 seemed to go smoother. Everyone knew the schedule and where they were going, and felt more comfortable making friends. The thing that stood out this day was that our combos (we were put into groups with other musicians playing different instruments) really started to come together and make progress! It certainly takes a lot of trust to be able to improvise especially if you have no idea what you’re doing! Also, the more we practiced, the more cohesive we were as a group. We began to encourage each other and make eye contact during the playing to acknowledge each other. It was so fun to play together!
