This is a jingle I co-wrote about 10 years ago for a home alarm system companyx. I used a "tight cup" mute on the melody and double tracked the bass bones.

From Frank Macchia's twisted arrangement of the old folk song, "Billy Boy" from his cd, SON of Folk Songs for Jazzers.

BillyBoy Mix 2

I was a founding member of Electric Mustard, a quartet of UCLA students who were all in the marching band together around 1980-1983. This tune [and William Tell] was recorded live in front of the UCLA marching band at THEIR recording session around 1982. This arrangement was written by saxophonist, Frank Silva. The other members of EM were trombonists Paul DeWeese, Paul Natzke and Alex Iles. EM proudest achievement was being disqualified from every festival, competition or contest we ever entered.
