JGBE Virtual Jam (Round 94) - Star Eyes

[nevershouldhavesoldit]

Very cool arrangement, Never.

Thanks, John! I just finished practicing for today and figured I'd try a swing take with backing on Star Eyes. Mr Sunnybass has a nice track for this, so here we are. I hope my choice of chording doesn't cause too much upset among our originalist friends

After a few listens to the track below, I don't like the way the Tele sounds for jazz straight into the DAW. In fact, I don't even like my playing on it. I've always prefered playing jazz on an archtop, but a solid body's just so convenient (and less prone to damage on crowded stages). And I can massage a decent jazz tone from it through the Blu or the Quilter. But when playing at home for pleasure, the archtop now has the job permanently. Here's a relaxed, swinging take on my Eastman over the same bass backing track I used with the Tele below.

Not my finest showing. I could spend more time with it, but probably only make it different, not necessarily better

As the week begins to wind down … anybody want to pick the next one? If not, I’ve got one, and I swear it really is easy.
