Since my first Jazz experience, which was a bit harsh, I’ve learned quite a few things about it that de-mystifies this field of music that is feared by so many. It basically comes down to standards: All of Me, On the Sunny Side of the Street, Cantaloupe Island, Out of Nowhere, Donna Lee, Anthropology, Mr […]

I joined a band! Funnily enough it was at a jazz jam session where a guy was looking for a guitar player for his jazz rock band. It was a nice way to end the night because I hadn’t really had a good session. I gave the guy my email and was pretty excited about […]

This is quite a romantic story with a very happy ending, which is pretty good for a jazz jam session. It started with the usual nerves I get when I enter the gig, and it wasn’t looking good, the people that normally play there, and know, weren’t there. So it was a bit discouraging because […]

So here is one the songs that I think that represents my vision of the band’s style, and what I was aiming for with this project. We basically played in the internal patio of my village’s town hall, that is literally a moorish house. The acoustics of the place where quite good. I took a […]
