Hi Gents i’m looking forwards to skyping too, apparently the whole is more than the sum of the parts.
This eve i learnt about a program called “Band in a Box” from my jazz guitarist friend, he’s gonna cut a copy of his 2006 version for me soon.
It is gonna really help in my sight reading for starters! And impro later. It is amazing!
The latest edition is about six hundred bucks and apparently they send you a hard drive with the program, has a tetra gig of memory to run it..
Showed him, the guitar fella, the Colin James Band song, Five Long Years, i said ya gotta check out the sax player on this man!!
But all he had to say right up was hey that’s been double tracked in the studio, gives it, a full chorusy sound, yeah, hmm howz about the vocalist he is so 80’s and camp. Geez i dunno, i reckons, it was made a long time back now, yep the singer is a good looking bloke, and y’know the song is about a girl and all ‘eh..
Hang about, he then wants to show me a Ben Webster track being before the best part of the song, that is the sax solo! Stone the crows! Crikey Moses.
Next he’s showing me tracks of Ornette Coleman (bit wanky), Adrian Galanti, Coleman Hawkins (forefather of jazz music), Sydney Bechet (father of soprano sax) and stuff. Point is, lotsa stuff can be learnt learning with and around others, is it not so?
Anyways here’s some cool kinda double tracking, so whatta ya reckon?
