Didn't know you were Canadian. Cool. I thought it was fine, don't be too harsh on yourself.

Thanks.
I'm very hard on myself. I guess it pushes me to get better.

Ive always loved that bassline and sax part on A REmark You made. You have a great bass tone . Where you using any effects on A Remark You Made or were you using a fretless , I cant tell . All the songs are great.

My personal thoughts.

Overall: Excellent. Very well put together, very well executed. A few bumps in the beginning, but otherwise a top notch performance.

On Spain: The pianist seemed a bit rhythmically off(or it could just be me) in the beginning. The guitarist's solo was pretty good, as was yours and the sax's. The only comment regarding your playing on that song was that you seemed to be stumbling for a moment, but you pulled it back together very quickly (and to the audience) effortlessly. Very professional.

On What a Difference A Day Makes: Damn. Yeah. Just damn. I loved how you accompanied the singer towards the end on the chorus(at least I think it was the chorus ). Very smooth job all around.

On A Remark You Made: One of my least favorite Weather Report songs. Your band's interpretation might change all of that. The less is more philosophy is proven once again in your performance, but why in Buddha's name isn't the audience clapping more for this piece?

On Could You Be Loved: Your audience is questionable. Had I been there, I would have started the standing ovation/cheering the second the vocals came in. Funky playing on your part, it's kind of harder to here you on this track, but I'm going to assume it's because of the PA/acoustics of the room as I can't see your rig. Awesome grooving; it seemed as though everyone got rather into this song(How could you not with Bob? )

Overall, a truly kick-arse performance. You might be giving about 3/4 of the TB community a run for their money if you keep going in this direction.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!
First, No effects at all. I'm just using my fretless jazz.
For a Remark you made, I had the Neck Volume all way down, Bridge all the way up, and Tone at 3/4 (4/4 being full).

Yea, In Spain we almost lost it haha.
Coming out of the Piano Solo on a Remark you Made, I lost it. I fumbled but I caught it. I don't think many people noticed.

Keep em coming guys!

Good performance.

by the way, I couldnt find any mistakes. and I was listening for them since you said there were some.

Just goes to show you, most of the time the only one who notices mistakes is yourself.
