hey,

since tony posted so much stride stuff i thought i will try something on that. i choose moonglow. this was my best attempt out of 4. i put on a tiny brush snare and cymbal to work as metronom (you like it marie?) and to work on my timing, since i tend to rush always.

i think the feel is ok but i need more practice on the movement of the left hand during the solo.

I have been working on Friedman Etude No. 7. Going along with the theme of this month's Chord Fest, I add some chord accompaniment to the second repeat.

This is the best take of the night. I am still working on it but wanted to post my progress.

I think if I memorized it, it might be better. Right now, I am not looking much at the keys, so I miss notes. I need to work on my timing too.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Barry

Did this in 13 minutes from when I opened Logic until I started to post it!

One of you guys do one now!

Brazilian music.

With the chords festival, the topic of grooves arose and one of them is brazilian rhythm(s).
I personally lived (in the 80th) some years in Brazil as a professional musician and since then I lead a MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) group and a Batucada (street percussion band), both playing samba, samba reggae, partido-alto, afoxé, maracatu, and bossa-nova , musica-cansão, baião, choro, in addition for the MPB group. I had the opportunity to play with numerous brazilian players and singers during my career and I keep doing so. That’s for my credentials…

this is a free improvisation I did on the 6th of november 2011

Nico, how do we tighten up loose posts?
