JGBE Virtual Jam (Round 95) - St.Thomas

[John A.]

I had a feeling we must have done this one, but I looked through the post and all the recordings and videos I have, and it appears that we have not. Anyway, this is a simple tune (famous last words ...), with several good options for backing tracks. Yeah, I know, I keep calling Sonny Rollins tunes. But I can't help it -- they're fun to play




Here's a chart (from the illegal Real Book Volume II)

And kicking things off, here is a first take. No computer, no agonizing over getting things right, just plugged in and played.

John,
Excellent choice... latin stuff - I like it... :-)

Several choruses of improvisation:

Class John. Well done.

Is St. Thomas is a very difficult tune for jam?...

I guess people are just not interested in this anymore. I thought I'd try to keep it going, but people seem to have moved on. So long, and thanks for the fish.

Well, actually I thought this was an old thread resurrected because it says "Round 5"

I only noticed it because John's latest post came up in the feed.

I've just been too busy the past few months to do much of anything video-wise.

Oops! It was supposed to be 95 (fixed it).

All right then, it's not the end of the world after all (and more fish for the dolphins).

Quickest and dirtiest of them all. In the spirit of the group I just dove in with little prep. Kinda fun.

Nice one. Great tone and playing.

Sorry to be so late to the party. It's been a busy week. I just finished writing the charts and making the playbook for tonight's gig. But I wanted to get my track in, so here it is...
