I think you sound beautiful! Your sound and pacing are on a high level. Rubato was very relaxed and unhurried. When you got into tempo it was thoughtful and purposeful playing with good content. The performance was just long enough and always with a sense of the song. I quite enjoyed hearing you.
Personally I prefer half-dimished chords to chromatic ii vs, like at the end of the 1st A here, but that's just my taste.
Play on, brother. You sound great...

Fasstrack, I would like to hear more about the half-diminished chords you like to use at the end of the 1st A section Fmin7b5 - Bb7 ???
Thanks

If someone is feeding me those changes I will respond by letting one of them go by, because if I play on both chords I have to maybe repeat a pattern, and to me that gets old quickly.
A half-diminished over 1 note covering 4 beats gives me more room to maneuver melodically, plus I'm more attracted to the color in the initial harmonization. This tune and Stella have the same opportunities to make that choice in practically the same spots: the end of sections.
There, I've said it!...Last edited by fasstrack; 09-22-2016 at 11:16 AM.

And Bobby's cool, too. Good, strong, solid player with a nice grasp of the basics.
We played a few times back in the '80s, but I haven't seen him since he split NY for Chitown...

Splendid performance, Chris. Really enjoyed that. (Love that tune too.)
-
Really outstanding Chris. The chord soloing on the middle section was particularly good. Best one from you yet, for sure. Congrats.
-
Great playing, do you have a pdf or chart of this CM?
-
Sounds great man. Really nice chord movement going on in there.

I hope you enjoy it. Suggestions will be welcome.

nice tone & beautifully played as always Chris!
funny how we all end up choosing a lot of the same tunes,
i guess they just lend themselves easily to the guitar.
cheers, JT

once i got to play the this tune with the great Howard Alden at a jam session.
1988
it was big fun and Howard was very gracious with his words and notes.
best, JT

Very sensitive playing, Chris! Was that your own arrangement? Good playing . . . Marinero
