Content type: Video Embed
Part of my new practice strategy of just improvising a solo arrangement and recording my first take, instead of my usual thoughtfully working everything out beforehand and using maybe a third take. It's a lot more time-efficient.

"Bright Size Life" by Pat Metheny. Great song by Pat that still sounds fresh. When this came out with Pat, Jaco and Moses in the 70s it turned a lot of heads. A classic album featuring Pat's compositions and superb trio playing.
