Hi again, here's another recording I just put up. It's from a gig a couple years back in NYC, I hope you enjoy it!

I did enjoy this! You've got some great lines, awesome technique. I want to play like this, away from the roots and basic progressions, and started lessons a few months ago, making slow progress. I've always played "by ear". My playing was once described as "melodic", but the guy was trying to be tactful, I think. However, I did want to hear the melody just a bit, to know where you were. My 73 yr. old ears couldn't find it. As you can see, I've a ways to go. Thanks for your playing!

Thanks for the compliments! Just trying to do the best I can.

Sounds beautiful! I love the modulations you guys put in the tune....I going to have to steal that!

 

[Dave Pollack]

Haha, awesome! We just go up a minor 3rd in the 2nd half...so in this case 1st half was in C and 2nd half was Eb.

Nice....I've done that on tunes like Days of Wine and Roses and Green Dolphin St., but never on Like Someone In Love.

Very nice playing Dave. Great sound, technique and ideas. I missed the key change and thought that you were playing substitutions. I'll listen more closely next time.

Thanks! I like to change things up when playing standards on gigs.

Sounds really great. Have you heard the Dick Oatts recording where he uses the same modulation on this tune?

Where did you think I got it from? Standard Issue is one of my favorite albums.
