3 Takes - A Nightingale Sang In Berkely Square

I have a concert in a few days. It's with The Philadelphia Mallet Quartet. That's me, Behn Gillece, Oliver Mayman and Morgan Walbridge. We are each going to play a solo tune in the middle of the concert. That's a little nerv racking! 

When I do something like this I first work on the tune, then start recording it. I walk in my studio turn on Logic. I HAVE TO play the first version complete. Imagining I'm at the concert and walking on stage. I have to try and play with some nervs, if you know what I mean. 

Version 1 of Pannonica

Ok, I'm working on Pannonica. I hope some of you guys are working on it also. I posted an etude. 

It's here.

When I study these tunes I think of 2 parts. 

  • The first part is can I make lessons around the tune. Do I know the tune well enough.
  • Next, can I make a decent audio recording. 
  • Next, can I make a decent video recording
  • Finally can I play it on a gig, solo or with the band. 

 

Sunset Glow

I talked in another post about the release of Sunset Glow featuring myself and David Friedman. 

I thought I would embed the CD here for anyone who wants to check it out.
