This week, an oldie but a goodie!
I was struggling to make a non noodly statement, so I went with one chorus. Take as many as you want! Maybe I'll revisit this one later in the week.

sounded professional to me

I never played this tune, but I've always thought I should learn it. So this will be fun.

That's not a chicken.

I suppose it's quite a dinky tune, isn't it? I'll have to do something more exciting with it...

Played this tune in high school... played it horribly. Almost two decades ago... I am getting old as mold. All good, the older the wiser--I hope
Excited to revisit it again.

And do we play jazz or does jazz play us?

Here's my go at it! I saw in another thread that Mr. Beaumont was using a Yamaha THR amp, and that inspired me to use mine. Perfect for a quick low volume recording.

And yeah, for a quick phone recording with a track, the THR is the bomb diggety.

I've played this tune a lot, but usually slower. This one is at 200 bpm. Parker played it more like 220. So, I didn't take it that fast, but it still felt like a struggle. This is the Yamaha Pacifica, Lil 59 in the neck position, ME80 adding reverb and the Little Jazz. Recorded with a phone.

I think I found a better way of recording these jams with ample backing track present...
point the freaking mics towards my laptop's crap speakers (too late at night to plug in my outboard speakers )
Here is my track, in memory of the Crown Fried Chicken that was always open and right around the corner of the first place I rented in Harlem... I miss those days, but I had a craptastic time renting in and around NYC. Seattle is definitely greener but I miss the FOOD
Jams away... look out BELOW...
-
Great choice Mr B and great take! Thanks!
I liked ragmans "ballad" version too!
Looking forward to hear the other jams later today and as they show up...
Here's my effort this week. I slowed the Hal Leonard backing down to 75%
And here an early vocal version
-
Hey, that's not a tele!!
[Sounds great!]

OK, my turn. I'm trying to stick with the concept of doing this as quickly as possible. I did a couple of partial dry runs to get the audio and video sorted. Apart from that, this is a first take. I had been shedding this a bit today with just Drumgenius, and was actually doing more interesting sfuff, but when I finally had the chance to sit down and focus on doing a video, it was too late to make noise, so I just played against a backing track plugged direct into the computer. I feel like this is all kind of the same phrase in the same direction over and over again. I may try again, and try to get it have more twists and turns.

Alright, now we are cooking.
Wanted to leave a few words for some other posters...
Rp, swinging very nicely, and solo has a real shape. I dig.
Pickingmyears, dig the guitar/bass duo and the space it provides...more cliche free playing from you...I envy that.
John daaaayum bro! Particularly on those B sections, but on the whole thing, plenty of ideas I want to steal.
And thanks to all for listening to mine. I find this tune very easy to get noodly on, Particularly if played "up" a bit...so John, yeah, the Grimes bit.. exactly what I was shooting for.
Honestly I need a "What would Tiny do?" T shirt or something. Cuz themes my words to live by. (And a bit later, what would Ray Crawford do)
