Hello all,
since 6 month or so I take part in this inspiring game named TOTM. So I am glad, that I can volunteer for the first time as a host for the TOTM of july, hope you like my selection.
The song I chose is „Lucky Southern" from Keith Jarrett, which was recorded on the album „Free" from Airto Moreira.
The fluteplayer (unfortunatelly, the key is D major - more a flute-key and I see at least the alto and bariton sax players raise their eyebrows a bit, when they think of the 5 sharps it means for them) here is Hubert Laws or Joe Farrell - both are listed in the liner notes.
Harmonically there are some connections to the A-Section of „Girl from Ipanema", but fortunately the B-Section is a lot easier!
There is one very early solo recording from Keith Jarrett, I don't think he has recorded the song elsewhere.
I like especially the great uptempo recording from a singer named Tom Lellis (never heard of him before) with lyrics, vibraphone, flute and all.
Great choice for this month Taragot. I hadn't heard this one before - reminds me of Chega de Saudade.
Love the flute ! Very light and upbeat ... cool fluttering vibrato in places. :mrgreen:
Ok eveyone... I've been away for a while...due to other hobbies and work..but now summer break is near.. and i bought a new mpc yesterday so ....time and hardware...which means I should be able to record a few tracks...
nice first recording on flute @taragot i will try to top it on sax hahah. Give me a few days to memorize the song ;-)
Taragot, removing the voice is a piece of cake with Audacity, just cut out the part you don't like and save as mp3 afterwards. I did that with both of your backings and also saved them in a better mp3 quality of 320 kbps (instead of the low quality 128 kbps).

No, swabian, living in Baden. But at least regarding the weather in the north of germany, we are lucky southerners.

Ahh. Short arms and deep pockets... I heard.. But seriously. The time I spent and worked in Germany was some of the best times in my life. Lots of great memories. Back to topic. Don't know the tune but I loved your flute playing.
OK .. another "day one" take, but that takes the pressure off !! :bluewink: :mrgreen:
Anyway, just feeling my way through the changes - so lots of chord tones and little imagination. Also missed the diminished chord near the end ... twice ! :evil:
Yes, that's exactly the cliché, but we are everywhere ....
Jetzt packsch aber glei dei Sax aus und spielsch au no a paar Chorusse von dem Lied! No schwätz mer weider!

Hei Brendan, you're the first who recorded this song on a Eb-Instrument. Chapeau for playing so fluently in B-Major! I like the easy, effortless feeling you had on baritone. Nice!
I missed all kinds of chords, too, but that doesn't matter on this song imho.
Great pick! And concert D is no problem for us alto players! It's got a really great bright quality to it (especially on alto) and hopefully I'll have time to put a recording up.
Yes, nice track with nice quotes from "Ornithology".
And it would be great if you would upload your swinging backing track!

That is time well invested, indeed! ;-)
Nice play...would i miss dough....for my taste, I would love to hear some more vibrato on long notes....
( haha look whos taking...as I didn't do any vibrato last recording as well)
Hate to say I'd never heard this tune before, but it sure is a nice one ..... I think I'll need to play this on some gigs now! Here's a take from today ....

Hello,
not that july is over already, but id would be nice to hear some more tracks of "Lucky Southern" in the next days.
And - is someone willing to host the next TOTM in August? Please pm me or MrPeeBee
Regards
Hello !
I'm new here, and I find the concept of the TOTM pretty cool !
I didn't know Lucky Southern and I've to say that I really like the chord changes. Great choice (annoying key signature, but it allows me to work ).
I listened to all your takes, you did a great job guys ! Here's mine (my first TOTM ooooooo)

Hey buddy ... Desafinado belongs in another thread .. :bluewink: :mrgreen:
Excellent take Bastien ! Looking forward to your upcoming contributions in the months to come.
New tune for me and also not really my cup of tea, but I managed to record a quick and dirty take after 5 minutes practice! Could not really figure out how to play the theme and my reading sucks, so the theme is partly improvised.
Yes, really impressive take, great playing, Bastien! It's also nice to see someone playing the TOTM - but I would have to clean up the mess in my music corner.

i've never heard this one before, but i really like it! i've got a gig playing alto next week and i recently picked up a new alto mouthpiece, so i decided to give this one a shot on alto. i'd welcome any feedback y'all have! here's the track: http://www.soundclick.com/html5/v3/player.cfm?type=single&songid=13604190&q=hi
Nice version with lots of cool chromatic passing notes, saxonabike! I see I should really practice this stuff in the future.
