I'm digging back into recordings from a few years ago. I have an m-audio and was bringing out to lots of gigs.
I just started digging into ones from 4 years ago. It's really great because they're far enough away that I have really no connection to them. I can really listen critically which i'm doing right now.
Checking out your past can really give you a perspective on things. Too bad we can't listen to the future! That would really help.
There were still a couple mistakes in my transcription of the Coltrane solo on "Four". I have corrected them and asked Tifoo, my faithful copyist, to rectify the Sibelius file. This is great stuff. I have managed to learn the whole solo by heart, and I play it (but only slowly)as an exercice, to try and get the feel of it.
About the Mallet Kat metronome.
I love this. This reminds me of David's duo with the sax player. To me it shows that if you can play lines you can play in any situation and make music.
This cat is a true vibe geek. I don't even hang, don't even come close. He's in league with Piper!
I thought everybody might enjoy this Saxophone and Vibe version of O' Grande Amore. It's on the new Duo CD with Peter Weniger, which will come out in September. I tried to play a kind of flamenco-style accompaniment.
We didn't have a game plan. We just counted it off and played, so the ending is kind of amusing. Enjoy!
A great demo by Mario of Alternate Mode
