jcast5: Virtual Jazz Collaboration

bh.jpgLibby asked for a version of “What The Day Had To Say” so I recorded it for this week’s jcast. I’ve been looking to do some remote, digital collaboration with folks all around the world, so I asked Doug (in NM) if he’d like to try out his new kit, lay down a bass line, and a guitar solo, and he graciously grooved.

The catalyst for this was helping Derek setup a method of virtual collaboration with his band mates in Alpha Rev. So, though he’s less than a mile away here in Austin, we did it all digital, on our own schedules. Virtual alleluia!

I’m posting version 5.1 with a re-mix of “What The Day Had To Say,” to get the stereo sound coming through. Many thanks to Alex and Radiohead for the nice segue music. This week’s cover is both written and made famous by the lady in the picture.

I posted a few different versions of this weeks songs over at everydayj.com, my personal blog.

"What The Day Had To Say"

Here is a freshly recorded version of “What The Day Had To Say” with a big empty instrumental third verse. It needs a walking bass track throughout, and a guitar solo on the first half of the instrumental verse that gives way to a bass solo on the second half. It could also use a brushy little shuffle on the snare. Take your pick. It was recorded to a click at 150 BPM.
