urb Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Hey Peeps I just added a couple of live tunes recorded with my lovely little funky fusion quartet Big Fan - Push is one of mine and even though the recording is pretty rough there's a nice vibe to it - and we manage to keep the thing rocking for about 12mins - the trumpet player had never played with us before and just sat in on this tune... his solo is wicked - mine is towards the end of the tune - I love the way the horns come in and we all riff off each other - all unplanned and in the heat of the moment... Second tune is a Latin/samba version of Giant Steps - which was done in one take at a rehearsal - again everyone plays their ass off - Jack Beeche is the alto sax guy (he's wcked) and Christian Miller is a smoking hot guitar player I know - Sophie Alloway on drums plays with Roots Manuva now, but she's also in another band I'm doing - great drummer to play with. Hope you dig em anyway... first two tunes here: [url="http://www.myspace.com/flynnbass"]http://www.myspace.com/flynnbass[/url] Mike Quote
Jase Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 That's a cool version of Giant Steps Mike and Push reminded me every now and then of aka Moon, Michel Hatzigeorgiou's live groove and feel, if you get me. Thanks for sharing Quote

Thanks for sharing [/quote] Thanks Jase - and I just checked out your band - really good stuff man, kind of reminds of Ben Folds Five (with a touch of Supertramp) with Jaco (or his mate ) on bass... actually your playing reminds me of Mike Watt more, which is a very good thing. Thanks for listening to my shizzle again - I'm gagging to do some more fusion stuff soon - the chops are back in, big time! Mike Quote

I like this version of Push. Trumpet has such a groovy solo! Quote
