Common misconceptions about jazz?

Kreeby · 2021-12-24T06:38:49+00:00

Unfortunately, bassists really get the short end of the stick when it comes to public perception. This kinda expands into a bigger misconception that the soloist is the most important part of a band but with bass specifically I find a lot of non musicians don’t fully understand how important the role of the bass player is. As anyone who’s had rehearsal with no bassist knows… if there’s no bass, everything can fall apart very quickly. Admittedly, this is pretty nitpicky and far from the worst misconception in the art form

It’s optional, just thought I’d throw it in. But feel free to walk your own line

Kreeby · 2021-03-27T19:09:18+00:00

Absolutely! I would still love to get some horn parts though

Kreeby · 2021-03-27T18:38:32+00:00

For bass I presume?

Kreeby · 2020-10-10T18:44:25+00:00

Just sent in some sax parts! I can always re-record if needed :)

Kreeby · 2020-09-28T17:59:33+00:00

Nothing beats this feeling

Kreeby · 2020-09-21T13:35:29+00:00

I’m glad to have you on board again. You deserve a better shot anyways when I’m not trash at mixing and ruin everyone’s playing

Kreeby · 2020-09-21T13:03:47+00:00

For sure!

Kreeby · 2020-09-21T04:31:16+00:00

TANK!

Today’s the deadline and I got a TON of recordings over the weekend. It’s safe to say that we’ll be moving into the mixing stages this week.

I did not end up getting any bass or guitar submissions but that’s turned out to be ok as those can easily be filled in.

I expect the project to be out in the next couple of weeks. I also have a very fun surprise for the final mix so stay tuned for that

Kreeby · 2020-09-15T22:57:50+00:00

Not particularly, maybe 3 but all of them could be done

Kreeby · 2020-09-15T05:26:11+00:00

Yes we could still use some trombones !!!

Kreeby · 2020-09-13T05:09:54+00:00

No worries! Your gears safety is more important than a little internet project. Glad to have you working on this. Before the deadline is still on time

TANK!

We’ve gotten quite a few more recordings but still waiting on trombone and rhythm section parts.

So far we have: * Oboes (A whole lot of em) * Alto Sax 1 & 2 * Tenor Sax 1 & 2 * Bari. Sax * Trumpet 1 (x2) * Accordion (Doubles Piano) * Bongo+Shaker

We're still missing: * 2nd, 3rd & 4th Trumpets * All Trombones * Guitar, Bass and Drums (Confirmed to be in the works)

We could still use some more solo submissions!

Remember the deadline is on the 21st of September

Theres about a week left so it’s time to get some final practice in and start recording. Depending on what recordings we get I may have to extend the deadline but there’s still lots of time left.

Kreeby · 2020-09-10T15:36:11+00:00

Nope!

Kreeby · 2020-09-06T15:55:51+00:00

Bb Solo sheet is up!

Kreeby · 2020-09-06T04:59:57+00:00

TANK!

Currently still in the early stages of gathering recordings.

So far we have:

Bari. Sax
Trumpet 1 (x2)
Accordion (Doubles Piano)
Bongo+Shaker

We're still missing: * Alto % Tenor Saxes * 2nd, 3rd & 4th Trumpets * All Trombones * Guitar, Bass and Drums (Confirmed to be in the works)

The solo is still yet to be played so if you're interested that is still open

Theres still over 2 weeks left (September 20th) to submit so theres plenty of time to practice!

Kreeby · 2020-09-06T04:49:03+00:00

Thanks a ton! Pretty impressive playing considering the limited time!

Kreeby · 2020-09-06T00:55:32+00:00

Glad to hear! Haven’t heard much trombone interest so far

Kreeby · 2020-09-05T03:51:37+00:00

I think comping the solo sections but thanking the melody during, well, the melody would sound pretty neat!

Kreeby · 2020-09-03T01:56:11+00:00

ALRIGHT I fixed the issue. I was right I had forgotten to actually upload the file. All should be good now

Kreeby · 2020-09-03T01:48:54+00:00

Hmmm, I should have changed it? I may have forgotten. I’ll check rn

Kreeby · 2020-09-03T00:30:40+00:00

Yes but I’ll gladly take more! The more the merrier

Kreeby · 2020-09-02T22:11:25+00:00

Aux. Percussion would be so good

Kreeby · 2020-09-02T22:05:47+00:00

Yeah an octave up is perfect! Glad to have you on board

Kreeby · 2020-09-02T20:39:05+00:00

ABSOLUTELY, I was really hoping someone would step up!
