Allright, First of all I gotta admit that these 3 days in London were actually so exciting and also so busy that I couldn't post anything. Thanks to Fari Bradely (http://sixpillars.org), LCC, Southbank Centre and all the others who made this happen.
During these 3 days we have done a lot of things. Rehearsals, lots of improvisation, going to a concert and also plenty other stuff that I can't talk about them, Cause It will take a lot of time and words.

The way he looks at the artwork and the philosophy behind it is really magnificent. He just coached us through our improvisations and inspired everyone with his ideas and... Personally I think he is one of the few artists that does thinks and acts way ahead of his living period.
Today we had the chance to continue our rehearsals with Veryan Weston (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMSjXtrdRbY (Preview)http://www.discogs.com/artist/Veryan+Weston

http://www.somethinelse.com/content/jazz-on-3-this-week-18/). Actually he is a really great artist with a very warm attitude and great ideas of course. He just told us about the Graphic Scores (http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/music/powerpoint/graphic_scores.ppt) and cunducting.
He just thought us how to read one and conducted us to play it. He also played a part of piano with us through a 10 minute improvisation which was really awesome.
Soon I will try to write technically what was going on in the rehearsal sessions. The ideas that were talked about and the act of improvisation itself.
Also last night Fari Bradley took us to Sinead O'Connor's concert which were kinda great. I don't wanna get into details about it, But overall it was just great. By the way she got a history that I think it could be really interesting for you. So just google her and read and watch her.
Overall there are a lot of things to mention about these 3 days which I couldn't find the chance to write about them more. But I gotta mention that Fari Bradley were always out there for us which is really appreciated by all of us.
Soon I will post some more post and talk about new events and explain more about all the rehearsals and the live performance. Wish us luck!
