Doug Robinson Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Well, well, well Al--that's very nice! I like the bubbling left hand, burping out nuanced arpeggios from time to time--very Don Grolnick, I think.

Al Quinn Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Al! Thanks Joe! I'm glad you liked it. Sounding good Al. What mics do you use? I see them here, but can't tell what they are. Thanks Sam! The mics I used are Audix SCX25A-PS. They came in a kit for piano, which included adjustable mic holders that mount to the piano frame. They're large condenser mics in a lollipop form factor. They live in my piano (even when the lid is down). I love them! Well, well, well Al--that's very nice! I like the bubbling left hand, burping out nuanced arpeggios from time to time--very Don Grolnick, I think. Thanks Doug! And thanks for the Don Grolnick comment. While I don't know as much of his music as I should it's possible he's influenced me. I remember seeing Don with the Bob Mintzer Big Band at Symphony Space in Harlem in 80's and was floored! I just listened to Rain from your new CD and loved it. Great job! I'll listen to the rest of the CD soon. Quote https://alquinn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobadohshe Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Al that's a beautiful little piece! I agree with Jazzooo â that left hand is doing a lot of cool stuff.

BluMunk Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I got a request from a friend for a backing track so she could do a quick "singing from home during COVID-19" video, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to do my first recording on my new-to-me Kawai. I've never recorded piano before, and I was pleasantly surprised how well this came out at first go. The pedaling is a little loud at times, but I think maybe just pointing the mics away from the felts might solve that issue? Also, I've never watched a recording of myself playing before. I have some funny physical habits that I didn't realize before today! [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Mike Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 A quick and simple recording I did for my big band mates to let them know I'm looking forward to playing again.

harmonizer Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Bobodeath, "What a Fool Believes" is fantastic. I am loving the vocal harmonies. Can you tell me how many vocal parts are actually being sing at 2:52-2:53 for the word "He" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 For what it's worth, we're putting together the first KC Compilations project that we've done in years (Quarantunes, Volume 1). We used to do projects like this all the time - we made fourteen CDs a bunch of years back - but it's been a while since we made a new one. If anybody wants to add anything to the project, the thread is here. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosendorphen Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This is a Rick Wakeman-ish piece I wrote at age 20 back in 1978, originally for a short film I worked on, The Power of Frankenstein. It's called "Tema di Victor" (Victor's Theme - for Victor Frankenstein). I incorporated it as the first movement of a suite, The Oratorio of Lycidas, a studio release coming later this year. This live version was recorded last month.

Can you tell me how many vocal parts are actually being sing at 2:52-2:53 for the word "He" ? It's mostly all 4 part. I'll double check the score. UPDATE: My score has 3 part triads.

Doug Robinson Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Lots of truly great music happening here, guys and gals. I don't think I ever posted this because the camera work is so sketchy--lovingly but shakingly filmed by my father in law--but here is the great Don Grusin and I performing my composition Paris in December at a benefit concert in San Miguel de Allende I produced.

Music Bird Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 That made me literally LOL real hard. Especially the one with the chickens. I have one like those 2 but it"s much bigger... What"s that 8 stringed instrument? Is that a Portuguese fado guitar or a mandocello?

It's an Irish bouzouki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_bouzouki Minor brag: Beth is listed in the Wiki article as one of the instrument's "notable players."
