Constant Structure Reharm - Moon River (Liebman, Saindon)

Hi guys, David's brilliant reharm on Over The Rainbow reminded me of the topic of reharm. Here's a reharm of Moon River that I did for my Depth of Emotion recording with Dave Liebman. The harmony uses Maj 7th, Maj7th #5 and -7th chords. The corresponding scales are lydian, lydian augmented (or symmetrical augmented) and dorian. I used this reharm technique on Green Dolphin Street which is also on the CD. The new chords bring out a different mood on the tune. Here's the lead sheet with the reharm, it's attached below.

Quieting My M55

I love my m55, but like the pros know, it's noisy. And that's not cool in the studio. I just finished a cd and there are pedal noises. I never bothered with solving this problem since most times the sounds are drowned out. But not this time.

So now in the studio I hang with the engineer and we silence the instrument. Here's how we put the final touch on it last night.
