Every semester, I bring my quintet into my music theory classes so that my students can get a chance to see theory live in action.  It gives us a chance to try tunes we either have never done before or experiment with new approaches to familiar songs.  It also gives me a chance to try out new equipment in the heat of battle (I'm trying out the reissue of the Otto Link Tone Master on this particular day).  I haven't played Recordame in quite some time, but got some ideas in the car on the drive to work and wanted to try them out.  Featuring Andrew Carney on trumpet, Ron Levy on piano, Bart Broadnax on bass, and Nick Scarmack on drums.  Enjoy!

Tangerine

This was a rejected take of Body and Soul from March of 2018.  Despite the fact that we decided not to use it, there were still some nice moments in the take.
