Yep, great stuff. Have been listening to DF's Night Fly album the last couple of days, and that is one of my Magic moment CD's. Garry

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1329527663' post='1544001'] The Samuel Adler is a brilliant book[/quote] This really is a classic, very detailed but so easy to follow. Garry

[quote name='Alec 'Aleb' Mills' timestamp='1329486101' post='1543202'] Maynard Ferguson's Solo at the beginning of [i]Gospel John[/i] [/quote] That is great. The Piano playing and composing skills of Dave Grusin ... The opening section of 'On Golden Pond' such a moving bit of music. Garry

The opening bars of the World at War Series.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqONgYHYo88[/media] And for some pathetic reason 'Miles' first couple of bars on this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OddHP8_Em7s[/media] Garry

I cut mine down to only Two. [Well three, Charlie Parker Omni book in Bass clef] Mark Levine & Samual Adler. The Samual Adler book is ongoing for me. Mark Levine book i poke into every now and then. I seem to get more out of transcribing these days. Garry

As a freelancer, for me my essentials are.... Volume pedal, Sans Amp DI, Tuner. I have the rest, Chorus, Octave pedal etc. But will only take or use them if i know they are [really] needed. I keep it lean and clean and as less fussy as i can, mainly because its then a hassle free time with the engineer. Garry

'Magic' Musical moments in pop history - I was talking to someone yesterday about that very thing. Something magical to ones self is not always magical to others. I think that chord unites everyone and goes down in Music folk law. Would be interesting to see what other 'moments' people on this forum can come up with. Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1329336225' post='1540944'] So, now we know. Its G, C F A and D. In theoretical terms its a voicing of a F6/9 chord (F, G, A, C and D = i, III, V, VI & II (IX)). Paul played the D, which is the relative minor. [/quote] So its a case of how many Beatles does it take to play a Jazz chord [D Minor7 add 11] ? Garry

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1329238598' post='1539388'] I always get mine form the same eBay store - [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Babz-Media"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Babz-Media/DURACELL-PROCELL-BATTERIES-/[/url] £7.49 for 10 Duracell Procells. More you buy cheaper they are as well. I've been using them for all batteries for about 18 months now. Generally arrive within 2 days, often next day and usually free delivery too! [/quote] Thanks for the link, going to order some stuff later. It also looks a handy place to get tools for the Cat Burglar business. Garry

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1329241688' post='1539470'] 60's boyband. No big deal. [/quote] A popular beat combo i believe , M'lud. Or is just urban myth, M'lud. Garry

[quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1329231506' post='1539184'] Still a bit early for me, but you go ahead! [/quote] Stopped years ago mate. Otherwise i would have taken you up ! Garry

[quote name='BassmanJN' timestamp='1329145211' post='1537744'] Ah, yes, it has Studio One - the reviews I read must have been out of date. O_o [/quote] And it is great. Enjoy. Garry

[quote name='BassmanJN' timestamp='1329144108' post='1537713'] Thanks everyone. I think I'll go with the Presonus. We have an 8 input Saffire for "bigger" recordings. i'm not overly concerned with vocals, since I'll be mainly doing instrumentals/sketches to share with the band. I like the idea of Cubase LE too (which is bundled) since we do most of our mixing/production in Cubase proper. [/quote] Is it not their own DAW [Studio One] bundled with the Presonus ? Garry

The [original fake book] standards where usually from Hollywood & Broadway show tunes, Tin pan alley etc. Pop tunes of the time. Or as the Americans call it - The great American song book.... Garry

[quote name='BassmanJN' timestamp='1329130329' post='1537416'] Wow, it really looks like that for the price, there anything that can beat it! Thanks for the tip, this might well have to be purchased... [/quote] It's a great little box. As a bonus it comes with a version of Studio One, A total gapless Daw - it might turn your head a bit and turn you on to the full version.... It really is the easiest DAW of them all to use. Another great unit to recommend... Roland Quad Capture.

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1329066380' post='1536699'] Lee always puts amazing bands together. Check this one out, Abe Laboriel on bass and Perry singing, absolutely amazing stuff.
