New tune from fingers

We got hired for a trio recording for a class at Columbia College here in Chicago. We are a professional band playing for a class in exchange for a free demo. It was fairly high pressure because of the severe time restaints of the class. The tune 'Owl's Groove' is from that session. Any input, positive or negative, is welcome.

Thanks. That piano player is a real joy to play with. I have worked with him in many settings and there is a constant flow of original ideas.

The bass I used for that session was a Shen Willow 3/4. I just got it a few weeks before the session. My old bass was a workhorse but that bass sings.

 

Thanks man. He is a really fun drummer to play with.

 

Thanks. I appreciate the input. I try to update the mp3s on my site every month or so.

 

Thanks Chris. I love playing with both those guys. Fun stuff happens.

As far as setup. We were all in one room. I was in a little fortress of baffles. We were the guinea pigs for a recording class at Columbia College. As a thank you we got a mix. Free demo material. The signal we decided on was a large diaphram condenser about 8" in front of the bridge. Can't remember the exact mic though I think it was an AKG. The bass was a Shen Willow 3/4 with Obligatos.

It's funny. I've had a few TBers talk about aspects of my playing or sound as Hadenesque. I went though a period when I was younger where I did not get him. Within the last few years I started listening back. Wow. That more harmonic approach just kills me. I think that is why Drew Gress is another of my favorites. Both guys are great at note choice.
