Smooth Jazz , Bossa and Samba Tunes

[claude.meyer]

Here are 4 tunes. I am not the composer, only the arranger and mandolin player. You hear my Collings Oval Hole with my virtual band. I recorded last one with autoharp, a little bit more country flavour. So I wait your recommandations and your advises.

Nice playing, Claude, and a good recorded sound on the mandolin. I especially liked L'enfer. Do you have an "actual" (not a "virtual") band? It would be nice to hear you playing with real people.

Hi Bruce
I play other type of music with some people. If I take la Dolce Vita, composed by Christophe and Jean-Michel Jarre in 1978, I tried to play as my model David Grisman, I imagined Hal Blain on Drums, Stevie Wonder on clavinet, Jaco on fretless bass and Miles Davis on muted trumpet. How to find musicians to play together this piece ? Here in France, even a cheap mandolin is hard to find. I bought my Collings in a shop of Texas, and I program my iMac to be my quartet. I recorded with microphone Rode NT5.
