Almost no one has heard either one, which doesn't make me happy but it isn't as if I am dedicating my life to being discovered so I will take what I get in terms of recognition.

That said...yesterday, I spent the day in a friend's studio, creating the base of a new album. it is an entirely new concept for me.

I set up my beautiful handmade drum set (Le Sopranos, made in Italy), got a good sound and then started playing. I had nothing composed at all. My idea was to play the drums, thinking melodically, and then to see what came out and compose music on top of it all. Maybe all percussion instruments or some percussion and a middle eastern singer if that worked, or maybe I'll play piano on top of something...who knows? Not I.

I stuck to my vision for the most part. Later in the day I wimped out and just laid down drum tracks for two tunes where I know that I'm going to want to add bass and piano some day--might as well take advantage of the lovely mic collection in this studio! But for the most part, it was just improvising.

This clip is a good example, both of the concept and the way I play drums. I used to be a good big band and small jazz group drummer. Today, a lot of Ringo has crept back into my playing and it's just what I sound like. Anyway, as you listen, imagine a percussion ensemble (djembe, clay pot drum, bongos, shakers, etc) playing interlocking figures and then suddenly coming together in unison for some of the more dramatic drum parts. COuld be cool. Could be nothing. :)



I hope it's at least interesting to you, but of course I hope you'll enjoy it too. ]]> SPEAK OUT Jazzooo http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?31891-My-Next-Album http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?31872-Digital-or-Disc-help-a-Brother-out!&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 15:23:03 GMT Man I dig discs.I dig the cover art , liner notes and all that.

When I got home, I dialed up my unreleased arrangement of the song, with the late and great Dave Carpenter on bass, Peter Erskine on drums and Paul Sundfor on soprano and alto sax. It's one of the only straight ahead tracks I've ever recorded. I thought you might enjoy it.



Its from an album I recorded called Let Freedom swing, all re-thunk Americana stuff featuring those players and other good ones like Peter Sprague and Wayne Johnson playing my arrangements . I like the work, but we finished it about two weeks before 9/11 and after that I started seeing all of this phony (or heartfelt, I couldn't tell) "America" themed albums and i couldn't bring myself to join the circus. I put the album on the shelf until about 2005, but I still haven't released it yet and probably never will now. Oh well. ]]> SPEAK OUT Jazzooo http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?31865-My-Arrangement-of-Oh-Shenandoah http://speakeasy.jazzcorner.com/speakeasy/showthread.php?31855-May-2013-Birthdays&goto=newpost Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:17:14 GMT Additions or corrections always welcomed...
