Shes Funny That Way Bass Chorus 2 1 2023

This high energy track has a mix of stylistic elements of some of my favorite jazz/fusion guitarists that have influenced me over the years. (Metheny, Scofield, Henderson, Martino). I did not necessarily intend this... the track just seemed to develop this way on it's own.  
Except for my guitar, I programmed/sequenced every instrument that is heard. 
I also must give additional credit where it's due. This composition and track, as it exists now, would never have come to be if it weren't for a free-form jam session recorded in 2013 with local musician friends Mitch Shelly (on bass), Don Plowman (on drums), and myself (on guitar).  While listening back to the jam recording, one particular spot caught my ears in which I realized could easily turn out to be the heart of a new composition. Thankfully, the combination of the bass line, drum pattern, and melody that now makes up the main theme of Intrepid Spirits was captured! Of course, much more was added to this main theme to build it into the composition and track as it exists now.

The 1940 Broadway show "Higher and Higher" introduced the Rodgers and Hart tune, “It Never Entered My Mind.” The melody is almost transparent in its simplicity and, in the vacuum of rudimentary harmonies found in standard versions by Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, only the lyrics keep it alive. But what lyrics. Brought up to date with modern harmonies and instrumentation, this is a this love song of unheeded warning.

It Never Entered My Mind.  Aleck Rand, Chuck Weirich, Terry Clarke, Oddrun Eikli
