over the rainbow

This was recorded shortly before i joined vibesworkshop. i should post another version to show how far i have progressed but, right now i just want to post anything just to get my feet wet. this is a pretty rough version. i forgot the changes twice, but i stumbled thru... anyway, enjoy.

From a Half Step Above

Man I listened to some Bud a while back and it got me hooked on the sound of going to the one chord from a half step above. Like Db to C. I love that sound and have been pulling it out all over the place. It's pretty cool. It's sort of like getting to the tri tone sub all the time.

Then I played a little gig with John Ellis (sax) over the weekend. And man he is a line manipulator! Being in that frame of reference and then listening to him was a great experience for me. It gave me so much to think about. It's kind of like being chromatic in a diatonic way. Does that make sense?
