Jazz Standards...

A few of the people on my course wanted to do a quick recording yesterday, so I helped out on double bass (First time recording on it...eek)

2 hours in, set up, record 3 tunes (Alone Together, I'll Remember April and My FUnny Valentine) and mix tracks. Bounce to stereo on pro tools then copy to cd...not bad for 2 hours.

Line-up is: Guitar, Alto Sax, Double Bass and Drum kit

Let me know what you think. They are on the drummers myspace:

Nice, I like your 'my funny valentine', we were playing that last night at practice, we got halfway through the first chorus and had to stop, drowned out by a very loud metal band next door, Rich bitch need to improve their soundproofing.

Do you play live with her, I live in Birmingham and love watching live jazz ?.

Also I don't suppose you know any drum students looking for a few gigs do you, we have to share our current one with about 4 other bands.

Not so much, being a bassist I play with quite a few trios and quartets, mainly functions and things.

I do know quite a few very good drummers who would always be up for playing, is it paid? Also, the link I gave to Lydia, she is always up for playing and swings HARD! I can pass on your number if you want.

The best place for jazz in Brum is the yardbird on a thursday night first band on about 8.30 with a headline national act, friday at symphony hall about 5.30 for the free rush hour gigs and whenever there is anything on at the conservatoire. The jazz orchestra gigs are always worth a watch as well.
