Sorry, I've just realised I've posted this a day early. Never mind, we've all got extra time on it now
-
Aha! this tune was the first video I ever did.
-
I knew it would be look-in-the-vault-time for this one. I've got a few from 2016 but I'm not going to use them. Just as well, probably.
Your vid's dated 2009, thirteen years ago. Lordy, lordy. Still pretty damn good even back then, Graham.

A very good video for your first video you ever did.
It's not an easy jazz ballad, so I congratulate you more.
To this day, I have a version of Miles Davis in my ears.
I bought the Miles Davis vinyl record 'Round About Midnight' about 45 years ago.

So it's off to an early start? Since it's the Easter weekend from tomorrow on that's fitting. Haven't participated for a while now but I have an older clip as well. This is from 2017 and was meant to demo my then new Eastman guitar:

Hello, Tommo. Guitar sounds great!

In the context of jams, this is an interesting call. IME, people avoid it at open jams because there is disagreement over both the changes and form. This is definitely one of the ones where there's a clear divide between people who learned tunes from original Real Book changes (which sort of match the Miles version, but not really any of the Monk versions) and people who learned via the oral tradition. Not a problem when there's time to come to consensus about how to play it beforehand, but can be a trainwreck if someone just calls "Round Midnight 1 - 2 - 3 - 4" Lots of people who think they know how to play this tune really do not. But here we're all rolling our own, so no need to worry about that kettle of fish.

One thing I know - playing ballads is not easy and 'Round Midnight' is not an easy tune.
You can get tangled up very easily.

This is a thing I recorded in Summer 2015, you can see my lovely cat, she was 14 years old, I adopted her when she was 11.
She passed away a month ago, she would have been 20 years old in April.
Rest In Peace Pompon !
I hope I will record something on the guitar.

Here's my first take on it -

I have to say I’m not hearing Db7 there myself, but brothers and sisters means it’s a cool choice when soloing

Relearning RM at the moment. I played it like the Real Book for ages and then realised it was probably wrong and now I’m playing with better or at least more straightahead focussed people I wouldn’t want to call it for that reason (I could hear Monk played it a bit differently) - so you don’t want to play the tune wrong on one hand, but getting around to stuff can be slow.
So it’s been out of my rep, rather ridiculously, for a while now.
i plan to post my idea of how it goes in the next few days. Monk is my favourite atm.
For me Monk’s music compels me to play it as close to the way did as I can, which isn’t true with standards etc necessarily. It’s like classical music to me. I wouldn’t learn from the Miles version as he was always messing up the chords to tunes lol. (OTOH Miles versions of tunes have become the standard in education etc…. I feel there’s a bit of a backlash to this lately.)Last edited by Christian Miller; 04-14-2022 at 02:57 PM.

Always loved your tone ( and playing ) on this one. What amp were you using? Was that before the changes you made to the Eastman?
