Hamavdil

This track first existed as part of Read The Credits Vol. 1 on Apple Music and Spotify published in the summer of 2020. I noticed it seemed unavailable in a couple of my playlists, so I'm uploading here for posterity purposes. Unsure exactly what or why this may be, but it can't hurt to have this little back-up as a graduation gift to me. 

(:

Composed on the third floor of Indiana University's Cook Music Library. Recorded in Indiana University's Joshi Recording Studio.

No More Time (radio edit)

One take, no rehearsals. Here’s a snippet from a monthly Jew-ish Shabbat jam and singalong. It’s a good hang.

Melody by R' David and Aaron Shneyer, I think?

Me: trumpet w/ Harmon mute & vocals 🎺 🎤 

Others: guitar, drum, vocals, etc 🎸🪘🪕🎤

Or Khadash al Tzion Ta’eer

This tune is something like a second-line blues meets Afro-Caribbean bomba, thus the title "Bomba Blues".

A few thank you's are due to the Indiana University Latin Jazz Ensemble's rhythm section, saxophonists, and trumpet players who contributed to this recording.

Thank you also to Professors Wayne Wallace and Joe Galvin for helping the composition and the arrangement take shape. 

Finally a quick shout out to Jack Ritter for letting me borrow his zoom recorder so it sounds better then it would have on my iPhone microphone, and for sending me the audio files since my laptop didn't have an SD card reader so I wouldn't even have anything to upload without his help lol
(Recorded Thursday Afternoon, April 11, 2019 in MAC 066)
