David Arivett made a recording of Samba Da Aguia Pescadora. The demo sounds like flute, piano, bass, and drums. It can be heard on the Samba Da Aguia Pescadora page.
It feels to me that a shift is happening in my music. Over the years I have seen how I go in cycles. For many years I focused much more on writing (in particular, writing tunes) than playing. For around 7 years it turned around and I focused almost entirely on playing and did very little writing. Then, around 5 years ago it was like a creative dam burst open and I focused heavily on developing concepts and writing for mid-size ensemble. Now, I am feeling a shift back to tunes.
While I like to write for ensembles, it has been my feeling for quite a while that my most creative work is in my tunes -- in particular, the ones that defy a conventional genre classification. David Arivett is going to make demos of some of my tunes that have not been recorded. We are going to start with "Samba da Aguia Pescadora". I will add the recording to my site as soon as it is ready. Stay tuned.... |
