ed saindon 28 March 2015

Henry Mancini's The Days of Wine and Roses played by Billy Novick on clarinet, Mark Carlsen on upright bass and myself on vibraphone. Hoping to dub the audio recording to the video footage at some point, but for now this is the clip with the video sound. (Sorry for the buzz).

Hey,

Another great practice video from Patrice, who still needs my help to post! ;-)

Here is his comment :

"A new version of Piazzola masterpiece. Giovanni's beautiful version reminded me the previous one i recorded two years ago. I decided to make a new try. I play bass and guitar part on keyboard as well on this one. .... "

Enjoy guys and thanks Patrice for sharing your work!

Eventually I'm going to put it through all the keys, adjusting voicings as necessary. I've found that letting the melody dictate the voicings can lead to some interesting places.

The attached pdf doesn't follow the recording exactly. I've just notated the basic voicings, but left out bits of the melody, counter lines, arpeggiations, etc. These are some of the ideas I'm using:
