“Be careful what you ask for”

Cassp, as there is a short interlude, I have recorded
an instrumental ‘Masquerade’.

1st I would like to apologize to all those talented
musicians, like Ian, Pasadoble, and yourself, Etc
and I do appreciate, the many hours of practice,
they must have put in, learning their music,
plus may be the accessional rap on the knuckles.

2nd I hope I am not barred from any future e-jams.

Style- Piano Swing Rag + Pads

Hey Rikki! I'm impressed. And you've been kidding us all along that you're just a techie. Not any more, you can play - with a capital P. Thanks.

wow that rendition is just as beautiful as the lady that recorded it.
I loved it about a bunch
thanks Rikki for sharing this fine talent you have.
Best regards to you and yours,
Bebop

ROTFLMAO... big time! That is great!!! I'm laughing because Leon Russell is a New Orleans guy and I can picture this being played in a campy bar in the Big Easy by you on a big Wurlitzer. In a strange way, the style is attractive; I actually like it - lots. Thanks again, Fred for your most unique submission.

Rikki ... the Lady showing the guys how it's done ... VERY nice ... I thought the style was PERFECT and I LOVED the guitars ...
BUT ... it should have been LONGER ...
I SHOULD HOPE this would NOT be your only posting of your playing ...
Another 'Zoner' tune added to the iPOD
t.

Fred - get that 'SECOND LINE' goin' man ...
.... N'wlens, here we come ...
t.

This is when the eJAM is really fun - when different/out of the ordinary styles are used ...
t.

Rikki & Fred....

Both very nice and enjoyable to listen to..

Okay, I said quick and dirty. Well it was quick (30 min) and definitely dirty. I haven't played this tune in 20 years and don't remember the correct changes (hence the 'dumbed down' chord changes) or even the original key. Cass did it in Dm so I just stayed with that. It didn't feel quite right so that's probably not the original key, but I like playing in it (especially pedals) so what the hey. Too lazy to look them up. Everyone's done a different take on it so I thought I'd try to evoke the feel of a Black jazz club from the 60's and early seventies where organ trios reigned supreme (except for the intro which I added as an afterthought). The mix is terrible and I was too lazy to redo any of the mistake-laden parts. Think of it more as a concept than a performance. The arranger connection is that I was playing along to a PA1x drum (style) track and using Yamaha guitars for solo and comping. Instruments are as follows:

Intro - SA nylon from tyros2 and Romance Piano from Triton, switched to Jazz Guitar from T2 after the intro
Drums - PA1x Pro 'moondance' style variation 4
Organ and Bass - Nord C1 + Roland PK7a pedals (I always alternate pedals and left hand bass)
Muted trumpet - Triton
Percussion (congos) hand played on PA1x Pro
Vocal samples - Roland Fantom G7 (thrown in for laughs and to capture club feel)

One time through for everything and boy does it show. Go ahead Fran, I can take it.
