JGBE Virtual Jam (Round 13) - In Your Own Sweet Way

[grahambop]

In any case, it’s worth grabbing the old real books as a fallback option. I have the ‘legal’ 6th edition (all 3 volumes) and Unit 7 wasn’t in them. Neither was a Mingus tune I was interested in recently. But both tunes were in the old RB’s.

Yeah, they spread some tunes out over the volumes...damn profits.

It's like buying Queen's greatest hits and then realizing...

1114600[/URL]]Finally got a chance to record this, been a busy week. Backing is Mr Sunnybass + brushes from BIAB. The video was done entirely in Reaper, I know RPjazzguitar was interested in this.

Wonderful!

I hear these Tritone double stops descending at the beginning of the melody, would you mind explaining where that’s coming from, I’d love to get some of that into my chord melody.

There have been several really nice takes on this tune in this thread, but this one was truly inspiring to me. I'd thought to pass over this one, but you have me thinking about it now and wanting to give it a shot.

Sometimes we really do just need some inspiration.

Thanks, I can tell you exactly where they came from, I stole them from Emily Remler!

I once tried to work out some of her voicings on this tune, I guess I remembered a few bits and these chords were part of it. Basically they are rootless Eb7 to D7, then rootless Db7 to C7 (i.e. just the 7th and the 3rd). So simple but so effective. I would never have come up with that by myself.

Check out her version on youtube, it’s really great.

Thanks Lawson, I enjoyed playing this tune, I think the laid-back tempo and having no piano in the backing gave it some space for me to play the lines in.

I was definitely thinking about Emily Remler’s version when I started tackling this tune, hopefully I got some inspiration from her!

Wow, what a great tone! And nice laid-back feel!

[mr. beaumont]

Graham, somehow I missed yours. Perfect capper to the week. Great swinging laid back playing, and great tone too.

[grahambop]

Thanks, Ron and Jeff.

You absolutely deserve the “bop” in your nom de guerre.

[TOMMO]

Top notch phrasing - so laid back and relaxed. Excellent grahambop!

[grahambop]

Thanks guys. I want to do Tune Up quite fast, don’t want to get too relaxed on that one!

In the spirit of rough, early attempts, I did this as soon as I felt I knew the melody (mostly) and changes (mostly). On the spur of the moment, I cut the piano out of the backing track and shot for the "Jim Hall" vibe.

Lawson, that was great. I think the single note lines in this solo might have been the finest playing I’ve seen from you. The lines were understated, melodic, had the weight of intentionality behind them, and sounded perfectly timed to me.

Thanks for that. Very encouraging! I am trying to learn the tune more accurately, melody and changes, and then I'll try another. I hate missing one of our tunes, though I did have to bail on UMMG. But I'm running behind, what with work and home stuff, which I know everyone else here has too.

On my trips to Israel sometimes I like to be the last one in the line on a hike. That way I know nobody has been left behind!

That was really beautiful, lawson! And as for the "Jim Hall" vibe: with the lights down low you even look the part!

Being bald helps!

[Question]

I was (re) learning "In Your Own Sweet Way" and saw that there was an old Virtual Jam thread with this tune, so I thought I would revive this thread and post a version from today. With a little help from a slightly edited track from "My Sunny Bass".

[ragman1]

Very nice. Ah, the good old days when people played music instead of having endless wordy arguments...

[Reg]

hey Graham... Unit 7 is in real Book 4 and also in Shur's New Real Book 1

[grahambop]

Thanks, didn’t know there was a vol 4.

[mr. beaumont]

It is nice to see these threads pop up again from time to time...though I certainly don't miss the pandemic!
