Description

A guitar arrangement of the early jazz piece 'Jazz Me Blues'. I made this arrangement long ago - about 35 years. All I had was my childhood memory of the old 78 record, so I don't know how true this arrangement is to the original tune.

The tune was made by a Tom Delaney and it is in the public domain due to age. Earliest recordings are from somewhere between 1911 and 1920.

	I am jazzed Wow. An expert performance of your interpretation of a distant memory. Amazing how a song can permanently etch itself into one's memory. The reproduction quality is excellent. You are inspiring me to practice guitar even harder than before. Thank you, Johannes.

	I enjoy always... your guitar playing and this upbeat ditty is a happy tune to start the day off with. You are one amazing guitarist.. This feels like it is right out of that early 1900's. If you add some vinyl record scratches in the audio, it would be as if this was the reocrding from that old 78 rpm. And I love that ending! cheers

Cori Ander	Cori Ander said 1385 days ago (February 6th, 2006)
	I enjoy always... Haha, yes it would be interesting to hear it with some 78rpm scratch, (wish I had a turntable that could do 78:s ... still have the whole collection of records that I use to play over and over as a child).

	And what does one say to you that hasn't been said... And how does one remain surprised at the reaction that this kind of playing emotes... That in itself is a gift of a humbled man... Congradulations! This is a wonderful production, Cori. Truly! And thanks for sharing it - Cyd Check out my latest song called 123 iGetU

There goes that foot again!
My foot just can't stop tapping when I hear you play Curry. This cut
somehow seemed cleaner than the last cut of "Jazz Me Blues". Your
playing was still unbelievably fantastic, but perhaps YOU felt more
comfortable with it. Anyway, it was a joy to listen to again.

And, yes, you've inspired me to continue practicing also.

God bless,

Rick

You really nailed it this time, Curry...
You capture the innate sprightliness of the tune, with great time and
great tone, including the sparkly treble, without sounding like you're
working it through as an intellectual exercise...

You let the tune have its own natural musicality...

So it ends up sounding like MUSIC, and not archaeology...

Gotta go get the iPod, so this one can travel to work with me...

Great recording, too...

You really nailed it this time, Curry...
Ed, since you have been around quite a while now and written almost a
thousand well formulated and well thought out comments. Now I want to say
a few words about them.

First, you comments are allways very kind and respectful. I have never seen a
comment from you that hurts.

Also your observations are never shallow or superficial, but rather deep and
knowledgeable. To me your comments allways adds a lot that I have NEVER
thought of before you said it. It seems to me that you put a great deal of
work and consideration into every one of them. (Sometimes I have wondered
how you get time to make a living besides).

Thanks a lot for being around Ed! I am proud to count you as a MacJammers
friend of mine!

	Great Tune You have some serious chops on guitar there. I love this tune. It harkens back to a time less cynical and far more optomistic, You can hear the Ragtime influenec that was prominet in the era this was originally recorded. I have some old Lonnie Johnson records that sound a lot like this. Great arrangment of a cool old tune. Check out my latest song called Hope

	beautiful Beautiful job, Johannes! I liked the old version too; I'd have to A/B them to see what the differences are, but this is played with elegance, style, and feeling. Lots of subtleties too; I like the dynamic contrasts. I really enjoy your playing. I'm a guitarist too. I'm going to check out some more of your things. Cheers!
