Jazz

Take Five was recorded in 1959 by the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Dave on piano, Paul Desmond on alto sax, Eugene Wright on bass and Joe Morello on drums. Written in 5/4 time, Take Five rose quickly on the charts with its distinctive melody played on the sax, jolting drum solo and use of the unusual 5/4 time. Take Five has been included in countless movies and television soundtracks, and still receives significant radio play.

So here's another cover. A tribute to the genius who is Suzanne Vega. It sounds a bit cheesy to be honest, especially the synthetic horns and flutes I use in it, but I'm quite enjoying that cheesy latin/jazz sound and it's pretty damn close to the original. Most of it i've done, just the drums and guitar I stole from the internet as I can't play them. Bass, Vocals and Shaker is all me baby.

Needs Now Is Love

Audrey Ochoa’s best album yet features inspired and personal compositions performed by an all-star lineup with seamless live-off-the-floor execution.

“My father used to tell me ‘…it’s better to be the head of a mouse than the tail of a lion.’

I didn’t write [these tunes] with any specific musicians in mind – unlike previous albums – so when it came time to start planning the recording, I realized I was going to need different rhythm sections, strings, additional horns and a bass trombone – 12 musicians spread across 13 tracks. I tried to highlight everyone – they’re all musicians I admire so much, it wasn’t hard to find places for them to shine.

All the songs are personal – they’re about family, grief, relationships – I wrote them in late 2020/2021, when live performance was restricted, so composition was all I had as an outlet. I guess I was writing my own comfort music, borrowing from artists like Donny Hathaway and Daniel Caesar – and trying to include styles that I grew up playing, like Ska and Salsa. I even threw in a trombone chorale, a shout-out to my years playing in trombone quartets and choirs – I even sing on one of the tracks.

This is without a doubt my favourite album. We recorded all the tracks in four days, and had it mixed the following week. It was recorded live off the floor – did two to three takes of each tune. I had the artwork finished before we even started recording. Everything about this album came together very easily – it wasn’t a stressful endeavour.” – Audrey Ochoa

Zolfay Yarom (E1 HashtPar Album)

I wrote Shanty Town years ago when my interest Latin jazz was developing, to poke fun at what was a familiar figure in Bulgaria in those days - the rinky-dink, track-suited neighbourhood gangster boy with a rich Daddy. It was recorded with Swing Regime, featuring Ivan Stilyanov on guitar, Nina Ilkova on vocals, Valeri Pastarmadzhiev on bass and Lazar Benov on drums. The driving rhythm of the latin-sounding instumentals yields a surprise with the catchy 3-part vocal chorus in 5/4 time.
I decided to release it now, years later, to re-live the energy we put into it, and because it turns out to be still relevant now, though some of those gangster boys now head major corporations!

Shanty Town

Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand
Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand
To be a team with me

So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me

Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

Oh yes, that would be so nice
Should it be you and me, that would be nice

Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me

Oh yes, that would be so nice
Should it be , you and me?
I could see it would be nice...
