Jelly Roll (Charles Mingus)

Thought I'd share a quick take of one of my all time favorite jazz standards - Duke Ellington's  A Train.  Such a classic and thought it was written for piano and big band, I've decided to go with the Hammond B3 sound.  Organ greats like Jimmy Smith and Groove Holmes have inspired the sound.  May have Duke shaking in his grave, but hopefully he likes the interpretation.  Thanks as always for your listens and for your wonderful comments.

The piano cloud, a worldwide piano group I am a member of, is currently running an "Odd Time Signature" challenge. Admittedly, I don't use odd time signatures at all, so this was quite a challenge, as it threw me to have an extra beat in each bar!! I chose 5/4 & hence the name Five Four. I love jazz stylings, so I went with that genre on this piece. Enjoy!!

Jazz tenorist Daniel Moran reworks two Coltrane originals and a Rollins classic in the post-bop jazz genre for this demo.  The Jazz standard "Autumn Leaves" is added to balance the set of what can be termed post-modern jazz.  This demo is compiled to whet the listener's appetite for more of this classic genre re-worked and re-visited.  Forthcoming gigs will be posted on the facebook page.
