Blue Bossa - Kenny Dorham; arr: dayala09 - second posting BR900

[Diego Ayala]

I had posted this one earlier, and after SteveB's comments went back and re-arrange my mono/stereos and ...  Anyway, I think I may redo this one and go for 4 minutes+/-.  It is a cool song to jam on.  Learning quite a bit - I had not been paying attention to what was coming out were - had my stereo full blast and could not hear right/left.  I few blurbs here/there, but it was fun putting it together...

Love the drums.  Where did they come from?

They are my set of congas...  I'll be redoing the song and adding an extra full measure.  I noticed that I got a bit off timing in a few places - I think just knowing that I don't want to screw up, I think it tenses me up a bit --- plus the coffee does not help.  I had not played them for 7 months - just got them out of packing boxes.

It is a cool song to jam on as there are a lot of chord changes.

Thanks!!!

DA - Yeah. You've got the panning correct, but now the song isn't long enough!! Just love that fluid Jazz-feel. Confident playing by someone enjoying making music. Well done. I'll wait until you've decided on the final version, then I'll be downloading it to my BR-MP3 folder. Can't miss such a foot-tapper.

Cool Latin rhythm, Diego. The congas give it a great feel. smooth piece, and nice performance.

I know what you mean w/ Latin Rythm - cannot get Carlos Santana out of my head(fingers) when I do these minor chord progressions and 7ths...  Before I moved to Alaska (Feb 2009) was working with this song on an arrangement with guitar and vibraphones with a friend of mine, and the song kept humming in my head!  Thanks for the compliment!!!

Thanks 48!!!  There aren't very many types of music that I do not like to play - for the most part I like it all...  Some I have not taken the time to even attempt!  This BR900 is a cool little machine --- I am a'thinking of taking it on the road, and do an entire gig with it - then can have various parts of songs already done and loaded on memory cards or the computer and using it as my back-up band - man, imagine 3 -5 Diego's playing a gig!?  And maybe even do at least one song were I record different parts and complete a song and instrumenstation on stage.  Listening to Greeny's songs (last night) after reading the posts about his last performance gave me the idea to tackle this = thanks Greeny!!!

Wow, this is awesome, Diego!   I love the minor Bossanova/Jazz/Latin feel!  The Latin influence is obvious, but I can hear some Django Reinhardt in there too!

SWEET!
