Jazz Classic Standard.  Acoustic Guitar and Vocals, Semi-hollow lead.  Recorded at M&I Studios in Manhattan.  This has always been one of my favorite Jazz Standards.  The melody is haunting and I just wanted to let it kind of hang out there and drift off like the leaves themselves.

Autumn Leaves

Nylon String Classical Guitar performed live in New Orleans 1997, Senior Guitar Recital, Tulane University.  This was one of the pieces I played to earn my music performance degree at Tulane in '97.  It's a very cool piece from Spain - kind of a cross between Baroque and Renaissance period themes going on.  It's really called a "Differencias" or "Variations," and the whole piece is basically theme and variation.  Guardame Las Vacas means something like "watch my cows" in Spanish; all my music friends and I used to laugh whenever we had to play it, convinced that there was some unsavory double meaning in the title. 

Guardame Las Vacas: Classical Guitar

Classical / Baroque piece.  It has a nice canonical device and an interesting rhythmic interplay.  

Aria by J.A. Logy

These are some tracks I recorded over the years.  Some are from as early as 1994 (prehistoric, I know); recorded on a beat-up old 4-track I had in New Orleans back in College. Other things were recorded in LA in the late 90's/early 2000's, and still more was done in NYC probably around 2004/2005.  En-yoy.  ;-)

Fly Me To The Moon

Just me messing around with my old 4-track back in the 90's.  I found these old tapes recently and bounced them to MP3's.  Kind of fun to listen to what I was messing around with back then.  This starts out with some kind of scale-noodling, then it gets a bit country and Southern, and then I wind up going into Jazz, Autumn Leaves, and just jamming out from there.  It's like a stream-of-consciousness dance through the different things I was messing around with back then.  

Instrumental Sample

This is a beautiful piece with some great jazz-like harmonies in the left-hand voicings and a nice rhythm pattern embedded in the right-hand finger-picking.  My instructor at Tulane, Elias Barriero, studied with Brouwer, and also with Segovia.  It was great just to spend time with him and learn from his amazing experience.  

Etude #6 - Leo Brouwer (Modern Classical Sample)

Acoustic cover of the folk / 60's classic.

House of the Rising Sun (acoustic)

Was just going for some ethereal-sounding lead as counterpoint to my voice and acoustic guitar here.  Some decent moments.
