A while ago,Some of my friends ask me how to play thru the changes of Chick Corea's tune called "got a match".Form is like minor blues but the turnaround changes is different.  
 So I would like to demonstrate of how I explored playing on this tune
 Besides the phasing(That's very important) and diminish concept I used,I think G,D melodic minor or G harmonic minor works for that E-,A7+F-,Bb7 to Eb maj(with #4)then back to D minor

Hope you enjoy the stuff I shared
If you want to know bout playin the bass
welcome to message me on facebook or soundcloud

This is the vibe like you begin a thought of "doubt" to the place you live .
Doubt what you believed like Religion ,history,stuff we learned in schools,media,even the people you trust.. Are they real??Why should I believe that way??? 

"schizo" is the way " they" look at you and how "you" think bout them. we all live in a shit hole.

I played this cover tune called Baby Steps written by Alain caron 
The live recording in 2012



Baby Steps(Alain Caron)

This is the primary idea of the tune I composed, sound more latin.
finally I changed the vibe to something else and played on "The Soundscapism " EP recording dec 2014.

I like to share with you this demo track after the "Trio Soundscapism" Ep released in jan 2016

cheers!

This song was an experiment in creating a dark and hazy mood by using trip hop sensibilities with jazz voicing.

Weird Blues(Live at peel fresco)

Born in Hong Kong, Hong started learning the bass at the age of 16 and began to play rock music two years later. At 23, he shifted his musical focus onto pop and jazz. His skillful sounds are heard in recordings of many Canto-pop singers, like Miriam Yeung, Twins, Gigi Leung, Sally Yeh, Candy Lo, Faye Wong, Andy Hui, Alan Tam, Hacken Lee, Eason Chan, Karen Mok,and many more. His music career reached a new height with his touring with Asian pop diva Faye Wong from 2004 to 2006. He also wrote the film score for the award-winning Cantonese movie “Sum Sze Sze” in the 90s. 

Also an acclaimed jazz musician, Hong has made his mark in the local and international jazz scene.  His name can be found in many local and international jazz festivals and  gigs like the Krakow Art Festival (Poland) 2001, Seoul Fringe Festival 2005, gigs in Shanghai and Tsing Tao in 2005 (with jazz band "JR"), Hong Kong Jazz Festival 2005, Vietnam Cultural Festival 2006 and Bangkok International Jazz Festival 2006 (both with Tamaya Honda and Hong Kong's jazz legends Eugene Pao and Ted Lo). In 2008, Hong was  invited to be the special guest performer in critically-acclaimed Taiwanese jazz band Sizhukong's Hong Kong concert. His success brought on a fruitful year in 2009 where Hong hosted popular jazz program "Jazzing Up" at Radio Television Hong Kong, was featured in the Hong Kong International Jazz Festival, the World Music Festival (Guangzhou, China), the Taichung Jazz Festival (Taiwan), and the Sri Lanka Jazz Festival. Hong will feature in Sri Lanka Jazz fest 2010 and The Expo Shanghai with Eugene Pao,Ted Lo,Andrew Gander and Paulo Levi in October 2010.
