Trill Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have to credit B3er with a little inspiration after bieng a guest in his recording session. After hearing what Jim did on his computor and then watching it all bieng put down by the horn section in a recording session, I felt inspired to go home and do the same with my band. So I finally got all my boards and Garage Band hooked up,and went to work. This past week I wrote 1 jazz organ song a lot like a Soulive song ,and a couple grooves for demos. One groove is a gospel groove with some horns and the other is a semi funky smooth jazz sax song. Last night I unvieled my mostly unmastered sketches to my bandmates and was suprised at the positive reaction. The Soulive type song is bieng put into the set right away,and it was a blast having the guitar and sax take thier solos over top of it. I had fun with the gospel groove trying to fiqure out horn harmonies on the stabs . It was fun to layer it. I have to get my Motif rack hooked up though to get a trombone and better horns. But for a quik demo Garageband works out okay. I used to groove around all the time on keys and sometimes they would pick up on it, but it was great having a tool to convey the ideas as a whole . It's really cool to get that kind of response from fellow musicians. The drummer aka band leader accused me of holding out on them. I really wasn't ,and I really am not trying to blow smoke here. But after listening to to B3ers playing and recordings ,I felt inspired to work a little harder on my playing . Maybe one of these days I will really be inspired to put something out for the KC comp cd. But I am still learning my way around as far as the finer points of recording .

Jim Alfredson Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 It makes me happy you were inspired, man. That's what music is all about! You should've been at the studio today; it was a milestone for me and something I've always wanted to do. We recorded a gospel 12/8 version of the Temptations' Wish It Would Rain with just piano and Freddie singing. During the middle of the song is a very pastoral piano interlude and I "wrote" a string duet for violin and cello to go in there. We had real string players today who did an awesome job and were very gracious with my non-reading self. Thankfully the parts I played into Cubase and then let Cubase transcribed worked great and they played wonderfully. Music is COOL! Keep it greazy!

Trill Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Okay,I think I got it up ,and it is over in the "Lets hear It" which I see has been filed to save space in the Key Threads Thread I feel like I'm getting ready to face Simon Cowell It is just a rough draft,not perfect by any means ,especially near the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
