Bossa Blue

Description

This is me playing piano live, with a drummer and bass player at a jazz workshop I took about a year ago, at the University of Indianapolis. The bass player is good, but the drummer is fantastic. Never heard a better Latin Bossa pattern.

The piano was a 5-foot grand. Yamaha, I think. Nice piano. Well-maintained.

I captured the audio with my portable MiniDisk recorder, then transferred the audio to my Mac via GB3 and an eighth-inch stereo mini-plug.

It's been awhile since I've heard anything new from you.
and this is great. I'll bet it would sound even better in a studio! Hopefully, you'll have time to post some things this summer, and I suspect you're working on another CD release. (Maybe? thinkin' about it?) I'm taking one summer school class this year, then teaching a couple of 3 week courses in my own school district.
Anyway - here's hoping for more postings from you this summer.

Check out my latest song called What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Thanks, K.
Kristyjo, thanks for your kind words. Yes, actually I have been working on a new CD. I just uploaded the tracks to TuneCore.com last week. Should be on iTunes sometime in August. It's called "Jazz Meets Classical."

Glad to hear you're having a good summer. I don't have to take any classes this summer. All I have to do is get my license renewed before school starts (and I'm sweating it -- there are some snags in the process -- trying to get them worked out next week).

Best regards,

John

Thanks, Karma
Karma, my MiniDisk is about six years old, and probably not available anymore. It's a Sharp MD-MT90. I use OtterBox mics. I got it from http://www.minidisco.com, which seems to be the premier site for MiniDisc recorder sales.

I have not stopped by your page in a while. I'll have to do that today!

	Where've you been?? I was just thinking I haven't seen you around much lately and today I briefly saw you in the "Who's Online" box. What a lovely little clip. Makes me want to get up and dance...well, get up and learn the bossa nova, and THEN dance. Check out my latest song called Tango Macabre

	Thank you, Magritte. Thanks a lot, Magritte. I have been working on my second CD. It should be out on iTunes in about a month. When it comes out, I will start posting a few more tracks.
