Leberwurst

I made the mistake of playing this file while my office manager was in the room. She's still rolling around on the floor laughing. Thanks...? dB mwahaha

I think it's time to laud our forum's moderator, dB. Really. So here's I tune I produced, just to honour Dave Bryce. It's a blues, and to make it sound authentic, in my opinion it needed a) bass guitar b) acoustic guitar and c) distorted vocals. Unfortunately I can neither play the bass, the guitar or sing. I did it anyway. So bear with me while I sing about the beauty of our moderator's previous avatar. http://www.divshare.com/download/4913493-5dc Right. You may ask youself: has this guy nothing better to do? Well, of course I have. But boring arrangement exercises, practicing piano and other stuff are to me not half as much fun as producing crappy music, so...

LB, that's good news! SK, I know I'm late, but I have to give you my sincere compliments for your "minor" piece. Simply the way you manage to establish such a groove in solo piano leaves me stunned. Way cool

An ass? How many blonde jokes are there? One, the rest are true stories.

Here's a work not by me, but by a good friend of mine, jazz pianist Daniel Krautmüller. He studied in Berlin and Cologne with Frank Chastenier, current pianist of the WDR Big Band and Wolfgang Dauner, the famous German free-jazz pioneer. Daniel did an amazing job on "Giant Steps" this time. Personally, I wouldn't believe you could make this tune sound new and fresh until I heard it: Giant Steps, or "Riesenschritte" , as he calls it.

you're not obsessed with something, are ye?

A woman is in bed with her lover, who also happens to be her husband's best friend. They make love for hours and, afterwards, while they're just lying there, the phone rings. Since it's the woman's house, she picks up the receiver. The best friend listens, only hearing her side of the conversation: "Hello? Oh, hi... I'm so glad that you called... Really? That's wonderful.... Well, I'm happy to hear you're having such a great time... Oh, that sounds terrific... Thanks. Okay. Bye bye." She hangs up the telephone and her lover asks, "Who was that?" "Oh" she replies, "That was my husband telling me all about the wonderful time he's having on his fishing trip with you."

On reason more to hate Esnips. I've put it on divshare: http://www.divshare.com/download/4848506-20a Hope that works.

Way cool this thread's still running. Here's a contribution of mine: Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are". Changed some chords an' this an' that. By the way, Dave Horne, I write better lyrics than Ira Gershwin all the time. Here's some: I like gals who are wise and precise with wonderful thighs and deep blue eyes I like gals who can sing and swing who know how to dance like the real thing I like gals who are pretty and witty the rest is shitty, believe my ditty I like gals with a certain style while they're fresh and juvenile

Clare Fisher Attack! The intro already is enough to keep me drooling for some minutes. Very cool... Thank you! Linwood, that's Maiden Aloha Voyage 'Oe! Killer! Oh, and I don't know if it just escaped me, but since today divShare has an inbuilt player, which means I can finally work up those 12 other pages fulla great music.

Here's the sheet to Black Orpheus. I've remade the first 16 bars and am not yet ready with the last 16 bars. http://www.esnips.com/doc/bd041928-d22f-476e-9152-6427d91f8a95/Black-Orpheus No chords over the notes, I'm sorry, but giving Finale chords more complex than Mi7 is a nightmare. I've always put the root as the lowest note.

If I'm getting you right I shoulda played rather easy voicings, right? No big alterations, just some schtraight chords? I think I'd be capable doing that

hm, maybe I voiced them wrong?

Problem is, in my reharms unexpected simplicity won't work cause the whole reharm is actually pretty simple I really appreciate your suggestions but I'm afraid it won't work well in the context I already have so far because it is not "deep" enough. So the clarity your bridge brings with it doesn't shine as bright as it could (wasn't that poetic). What I'll definitely keep in mind is the thinking that stands behind your suggestion. I actually tried to do some contrasting in the bridge of "How long has this BGO", where I simply used some D and G triads (I think it was like that) as opposed to the rather heavy bitonality applied in the chorus. Well, at least that's what it is to my ears. I think we have some years of experience between us, SK However I always try to follow what you've been doing (or linwood or Marino or Miles Davis or Wayne Shorter or even Paul Simon) in hope to develop a similar capability of hearing. Well back to work... And all those names in a row look pretty cool, too

Thanks! The 'bridge' I had constructed went Dmi7 / Ab7 / | G7 / / / | Cmaj7 / F#dim / | Fmaj7 / / / | Bsometh. / / / | E7 / / / | Ami7 / Cmaj7 /| Bmi7b5 / Bb7 / | The Bsomething in is a somewhat basie-ish sounding chord consisting of B - F - A - C# ... so I guess it's just a Bmi9b5(omit 3rd)
