I've just found the Austin powers kind of intro theme on www.musicnotes.com .

It's really cool. Anyone else enjoy Bossa Novas? Are there any you would reccommend??

Cheers, Oddball

not the one on last years grade 5 syllabus!

That particular piece used in the Austin Powers is by Quincy Jones and is called Soul Bossa Nova. Its a nice piece to play with some really cool jazzy riffs which sound great played on Jazz Organ. I have it in the "Jazz All Stars" book compiled by Jim Progris.

i agree. That was a horrible piece!
i'll try and control myself and not rant on about the awful C list for grade 5!

yes we'll refrain from moaning about grade 5 foronce!

I got full marks for that piece... Why do all of you think that it's horrid?

maybe coz your talented and im not, therefore you can actually play it

i actually got the most marks for it in my exam out of all my pieces but i just didn't enjoy playing it. and i couldn't play it until about a week before the exam.

my best mark was for Lied and that was still a rubbish mark!

hey i hate composition too, you can join one of my clubs!

i saw your thread on it. i had to record one of my compositions today, everyone else's seemed to be so good and mine was poop.

Do you mind - some of us are playing those g5 pieces in March!

My teacher only realised today that today is the last date to post applications to sit the exam.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to play the peices by then! Especially as I'll only get one shot.
