Naima - a tribute to John Coltrane

[alfstone]

Naima by John Coltrane.

IMO one of the most beautiful melodies ever composed.

Backing piano-drums-bass: BIAB

guitar: Yamaha SA2200

Enjoy!  

Alfredo

[Redler]

IMO one of the most beautiful melodies ever composed.

..and one of the most laid back jazz songs too!

You've done excellent job with this! Excellent playing and producing! This is real jazz!

[Groundy]

Beautiful, heart-warming playing. Giant Steps is one of my favourite albums and you tackle one of the best tracks from it with authority & such confidence! Your guitar tone is absolutely superb! I could listen to you play like this all day!

[Oldrottenhead]

bellissimo!

Wow!

Great tone and really nicely played. 

Loved the sparseness of the arrangement. What is BIAB?

Thanks everybody!  

Ian, BIAB means Band-In-A-Box. It's a great software, specialized in auto-accompaniment. The great thing about it is that since the last 3-4 versions if you want you may work without any (plastic/cheesy) MIDI sounds, so the music you obtain with it is REAL music played by REAL musicians on REAL instruments.
