This is our first try at recording this wonderful little song at a crazy, slow tempo. (The original version is up tempo!) I'm not sure if anyone under the age of 50 is familiar with this tune. The composer, Harold Arlen, wrote such classics as, "Somewhere over the rainbow", "Blues in the Night", "Sleepin'Bee", etc.
A little “Basin St. Blues” from a warmup session today at Berklee before classes. I love these classic old gems. Some great versions from Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson and Keith Jarrett.
“Take the A Train” by Billy Strayhorn – warmed up today with this classic. I’m in a practice room at Berklee right next door to the hand percussion room. A little bleed through the room. Sorry about that. This may be a simple song but there are so many things that we can do with it within the framework of the form and harmony. One of my favorite versions is from the great pianist Oscar Peterson.
This is an exercise on minor pentatonics through the tune I am working on I just did one chorus of improv I have used some Bergonzi licks over the tune as well as some comping hope you like it
"Loro" by Egberto Gismonti - A great (and somewhat tricky!) song by the superb Brazilian guitarist/pianist. I played this one many years ago and dug it up from the files recently. A very unique and beautiful composition.
