I dont want to be you anymore

Jay Ungar's beautiful waltz written for the soundtrack to The Civil War ,a film by Ken Burns with music composed & performed by Jay Ungar. Performed here on flute and sax, from a quintet arrangement by Bob Driggs.

Ashokan Farewell

new & improved , tried to fix a few of the more obvious obvious clams...

Hoping you enjoy this in the spirit it was recorded, just a bit of fun inspired by the one and only Miles Davis who recorded the album of same name in 1986: Bassist Marcus Millar wrote nearly all the originals on the album.
It blew me away at the time, his previous album Decoy had funky vibes but not full on funked-out slapping bass grunt like this album.

This is just a humourous attempt at a reprise as nobody could possibly emulate the original. Recorded all on my own-y-oh at home...with my pea shooter piccolo ,flute and kazoos ..   Hope you like it .   

 Thanks again to Bob Driggs for the arrangement.

Evil Ways

here for now.... ....

Here's a few recordings to pass the time.

All recorded at home on a single mic ,or sometimes on a mobile phone ,one take at a time and then mixed in Ableton Live 9 by a total amateur.......

 I've certainly enjoyed the learning process and if I've learnt anything, it's probably that while my playing may not be great ........it's possibly better than my mixing🤣

Evil Ways
