This will be a fun week! Teaching improvisation workshops for the kids at Camp Adagio. Will be doing more at the new Middlebury Community Music Center this winter – in case you or your kids missed out on the camp.
Sunny & 70s Somewhere – by Justin Perdue
Demo sketch of a new original latin jazz number of mine: “Sunny & 70s Somewhere”
Found a scrap of paper with the chords the other day, and rescued the half-remembered melody from the abyss of my iPhone voice memos. It’s yours truly playing all the parts: the dubbed guitars are “rhythm” guitar on my Eastman archtop as an electric (with the amp mic’d), and the solo is the same Eastman with the f-hole mic’d and the electric direct – gives it a nice acoustic sound, I thought. Dusted off the not-so-trusty old guitar synth, and after a few takes, got a glitch-free bass track. Will get a proper duo or small group recording soon – stay tuned…
