Re: March Jazz tune of the month: Soft Winds
Here is my effort at this stage. Kudos to those above and thanks to Pete for initiative and persistance. This is on my new (beautiful) Collings MT2-O. The action is a little lower than I am used to, and it shows in the confusion of my fingerings and slappy sounds.
My grandfather died about 87. I received his Rolex watch, which I kept in a safety deposit box. In an annual look at the box, I thought that instead of looking at my inheritance annually, I could sell it and buy something I would look at daily, remembering him, my dad, and my old friend and drinking buddy (Bushmills and beer) Bill Collings. It was an about even trade for the Rolex.
Band in a Box (Bob, Ike, Al and Brian), a Collings MT2-O, rode mic, shipped with bronze strings that feel a little light, BC60, Rode Mic, into Audacity. Audacity track -- as recorded raw -- and a copy of the track, with compressor ad reverb applied. The effect track is at about 40% volume raw track at 50%. Mixed to a single mono track and exported to MP3.
Listening to you folks do the same songs is such a treat. I learn from every post. (I just wish it would sink in.)
