Klumo got your message the "In your eyes" acoustic back tracks are on my player for download, first 16 beats are intro or A minor G & C major repeated twice then the first verse starts, the whole thing repats again before the second verse.

There is a break before the In your eyes part comes in as for the outro repeat in your eyes 3 times.

If you decide not to use them I'm Ok with it.

of course I am interested.

of course I am interested.

Yeah of course you would be, I think you are one of the most representative and accomplished Jazz and all around musician on BM, If I left anybody out sorry but I don't remember seeing or hearing other Jazz music here other than Mary.

I find myself listening to more jazz these days because my classical station switches over to jazz at 7pm. It's great music to unwind with, and the musicians are awesome. I'm going to see Return to Forever next month.

I am so jealous Jazz musicians kickass. Many of them are also classical musicians, such as members of Return To Forever.

Throw in a double bass and you have my complete attention,got a tickle about couple months ago at practice,working on one of Rays tunes,Sans was doing the chording and my jazz side kicked in started laying some smooth riffs on the bass and Steve fell in with some nice swells fron the skins we just layed back and the sweetness just rolled off,we were into it about 5/10 minutes,when we pulled down and Ray asks,"What was that?" oh that was your tune with a little backgrond jazz flavoring,takes a whole different direction when you get to the improv that jazz can do.
two years+ of formal and a lot of road studies does that,anyway my two cents worth on jazz and you can play it anytime won't bother me!

I would have liked to hear that...I am sure that you didn't record it.

I love upbeat jazz with a good groove.

No ... we did not get that one recorded. Too bad too.

Floyd is the MAN

ADMIN, COULD YOU PLEASE REMOVE THE ABOVE USER?

"chahal53" = virus laden SPAM w/links to offsite trouble..

I love jazz, but I like the slower jazz. I am not much into the type that sounds like all of the instruments are playing different songs at the same time, either. I rather like Thelonious Monk, Satchmo, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Django Reinehardt.

I will be playing at Steamers jazz club in Fullerton, if anyone should be in town. I am performing as a student though.

Have a good show Mary!
