Blue Bossa by Stefan Vdb

Hey all,
I haven't been around here for a while. I know I know, no dessert for me.

I worked on a chapter in Jon Metzger's book called digital riffs.

At the end of each chapter there is a list of some tunes where you can aply the technique. I tried it on Blue Bossa.
I got the playalong track from www.learnjazzstandards.com.

I'm not really happy with the result. You can hear I'm not used to playing with others (even if it is on tape)

Questions by John Keene: Odyseey of Iska by Wayne Shorter, In pursuit of the 27th man by Horace Silver, Laura Nyro.

'Odyssey of Iska' came about when Wayne called me personally to play on new album. I was, of course, thrilled beyond belief to asked to play on such a project with those great musicians. Wayne wanted to try electric vibes, which I had been experimenting a bit with with Hubert Law's band. Maybe Wayne heard the recording I did with Hubert and was intrigued. Although I used the vibe pickups occasionally, I wasn't confident with the set up, amp, etc. So, my friend guitarist Steve Khan, came to the session with me and helped me set up, adjust the amp, etc..

FLORIAN POSER & HAUKE RENKEN: Christmas Time Is Here & A Child Is Born

This video was recorded in Dec. 2013 on the legendary »Fröhliche VibeNacht« we did in the church of Haukes hometown Zetel (Lower Saxony/Germany). Each one of us starts with a solo version of a tune followed by an accompanied improvisation.
We hope you enjoy it!
(and sorry for the music stands...)
