Default Practical Standards Group New Song "Pre-Poll"
It's time to pick or new song to study.

We've discussed going with a style, and then picking a song within that style.

I was going to do a poll of songs that are straight up 12 Bar blues. We haven't done a 12 bar blues yet, and there is such a tradition of chord substations in a jazz blues.

But it's Dec. so perhaps some would prefer a Christmas tune...

I picked Christmas tune just because I don't really want to do a 12-bar blues. I'll try to contribute either way, though.

Hooray for 12 bar blues!

A very hard form to improvise over, for me....(at least if you wanna do something else than noodling minor pentatonics....)


Cheers,
H.

Good point Ron. I wasn't even thinking... I suppose I was politically incorrect. I meant Holiday Season songs. I really didn't intend to make any religious implications.

Sorry to anyone that I might have offended, that was not my intent.

I can't see any way to edit and change the poll.

hey--if you play the gigs, including the Christmas music, and take the money, then you don't really have much room to be offended at anyone's personal take on whatever the holiday season might mean to them. get over yourselves.

Kwanzaa music, anyone?

sorry...that was a little harsh...i just mean can we just not let political correctness deprive the Christians of their holiday? i mean, we all get to keep our own beliefs, if any, and the universe will continue on its bizarre course...

peace and happy thanksgiving, fellow jazzers...

Wow! Sorry. That wasn't what I meant at all. I disclaim and condemn any whiff of political correctness in the whole thing. I was trying to be funny. Seems that often gets me into trouble.

Besides, I'm just curious. Are there any "solstice standards"?

Birthday by the Beatles (you say it's your birthday...)

The solstice is my Birthday, so that's the one I'm going with.

There's the whole "Charlie Brown Christmas album". It includes the most depressed-sounding song ever sung by kids:

My favorite XMAS recording. Vince Guaraldi's original trio had a guitar player, Eddie Duran, instead of a drummer. It would be interesting to hear these recordings with that configuration. It was the Peanuts producer Lee Mendolson who wanted Guaraldi to score the special; he heard a recording of him on the radio while riding in a cab and got in touch with him. I read in a biography of Charles Schultz that they had to convince Schultz; he didn't like jazz and wanted classical. Can you imagine those cartoons without this music? As much as I love Peanuts the scores by Guaraldi are the icing on the cake and really help to sell it.
