After eight months of planning, three days of shooting, and over two months of mixing and editing, I’ve made all new videos of my instrumental bands and added them to my websites. In all, there are close to 50 new videos representing 7 different bands. The more conservative of these videos I’m marketing for private events, the less conservative for jazz clubs and concerts.
Nearly all of these performances are first takes, and in some instances such as this, we are playing these tunes together for the very first time, with every detail improvised. I like this particular performance a lot. If you listen all the way through, you may notice that I fail to anticipate the ending of the tune and hit my crash cymbal in the wrong spot; in true jazz style, everyone adjusts instantly and we improvise a more interesting ending together.
