Morizzle

Last week I recorded some pieces with a band I just met a few days before. Here's our take on Henry Mancini's "Lujon": And the jazz classic "My Favorite Things": https://soundcloud.com/moritz-schippers/my-favorite-things

Hello guys. I finally have time to relax again, and I made an uninstructional video: [video:youtube]

I did this last night. If you have 30s of your life to waste, watch it [video:youtube]

Okay, so everybody on the internet knows this, right? [video:youtube] Well, here's an even worse version: [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o2ufv_c0xI

Hi guys, I wanted to share one track of a live recording I did with my trio in December. It's an original composition by me called "Easy Manni". It was recorded in the Malteserkeller, one of the oldest jazz clubs in Germany, that sadly had to close at the end of 2011. By the way, after listening to the recordings, I decided to a) practice more and b) dump the Yamaha CP33 and get a Nord Piano. http://soundcloud.com/romanwollenhaupt/easy-manni

I just had to do a second take [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY3ztLYfNx4

Wow guys! Thank you so much for your comments. Coming from you it really means a lot to me! @ Bob: actually, there's a sax player in my hometown named Moritz, too. We all played together in a quintet named Moritz3+2 @ Dave: I put the sheet on divshare, clonk.

Hi guys, I spent a little time with my trio in our bassplayer's basement studio. One thing we recorded was a reharm of "The Way You Look Tonight", a tune that I like very much. I thought you guys might enjoy, although it's not my finest hour of solo playing The Way You Look Tonight

Hi Steve, nice playing - as usual! I especially enjoyed the piano sound in the low and medium register. Is it the EW piano? Sounds gorgeous, even on my crappy PC speakers. Some of the high notes in a higher velocity tend to reveal a little plastic-ness, at least to my ears. But the medium to low register... really really nice!

Welcome, Carver. Your avatar shows you've got a good sense of humour

Here's a little vacation project I did with a friend of mine who plays bass and guitar. It's a rock tune, unfortunately with German lyrics. The joke is that it has kind of a unusual word choice for a rock song, so it's hard to translate. The refrain is "I'm just a man (2x), please forgive me, 'cause I'm just a man". I hope you can enjoy the music, and if you wish, you can watch it in full HD (1920x1080) on Youtube [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkwjB-lipYA

Wow! Thank you for that video linwood. Made my week!

Hi guys, I just finished a little rain song. I've been carrying the main riff around with me for 1 1/2 year now, it's too schmaltzy for my jazz trio but I wouldn't want to let a singer in a pop band go berserk on the tune. So I did it myself, with a synthesizer The instruments are nearly all Logic's internal software instruments, there's just a little Nord Rhodes on the track. I'm curious what you guys say about the mix, my studio monitors are only a month old and I'm starting to learn some stüff about mixing (with Owsinki's "The Mixing Engineer's Handbook). http://www.divshare.com/download/10467360-090 Cheers, Mo

Carlo and SK, thank you both for the feedback. This morning I actually did a version with F pedal through the first A section. Works great and makes indeed a nice contrast. The inner voice leading thing is something I'm just starting to work on. It will definitely be part of my studies in the near future! Thanks again.

Here's a little version of Someday My Prince Will Come. The first A is nothing fancy, the second A section includes a funny chromatic way how to f*ck up the tune.

I recently played my first organ trio gig. It was a blast! I had a really good time. Obviously I need to learn a lot... However, you may see that I did a lot of thinking on my solo build-up [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiqzY635fLw My Franken-organ is a Yamaha P-250 as lower and Electro 3 as upper manual.

Very cool stuff...I've listened to them all and guessed about 1/2 right you guys are good! Do you play requests on gigs like that? Okay, here's my first try: I have no idea if it's too hard or too easy, just let me know if you find out! As always, Uncle Mo's Plastic Band wants to entertain you. http://www.divshare.com/download/9542538-c96

Now you're rationalizing.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'll work on the key changes, that's a great hint!

This morning I made an arrangement of "What's New". Meh. Somehow I had it better in my mind. I blame it on general morning sleepiness. Even better, I blame it on my youth So Mo and his Plastic Orchestra give you: "Wuzz new" http://www.divshare.com/download/9164054-38c

Although this isn't quite what you guys are talking about, since a few days I have the idea of somehow getting hold of a top notch big band/jazz orchestra, a singer who sounds absolutely like Sinatra, then arrange "I thought about you" in show big band style and, after a long expectation-building intro, let the singer sing lines like "I shaved my armpit today, and I thought about you". Just watching the audience during the perfomance would be worth the work for me. However, that's just me.

Here's a little reharm of "My Romance" I just did for lessons tomorrow. This time tried to stay in the style of the tune rather than throw all the fancy chords I know at the tune, which is my usual crappy approach. Any words of advice are welcome. http://www.divshare.com/download/8859662-155
