2012/08 - Over the Rainbow

[trimmy]

Ok ok pressure is too much..... how's about 'Over the rainbow' ? It's fairly easy (gulp) and can be played classicly or jazzy, even poppy.
I like this version and i will promise to throw my hat in this time, even if it sounds crap !

Should be fun ...

Re: 2012/07 - Over the Rainbow

Yeh I agree
Its a much more upbeat and vibrant version
Not depressing like the original.

Just been looking on the tube and found this fella great version on alto......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK0PVJQpVOs

watched a few of his other videos a great player but something annoys me with his movement and dancing, i like the feeling he's putting into his playing but just something annoys me. :shrug:

That was mme, sorry. Fixed now.

Oooooh. It feels sooo much better...
Thanks Kev.

Nice pick. As a Big Band fan, I've always loved Mr. Ferguson's rendering. As usual, it is slightly (slightly ?) on the kitsch side.
Great drumming by Peter Erskine, the funky bass ostinato is also brilliant.

Thanks Chris... I am sure there is going to be some wonderful renditions with this tune....
Actually my favourite version is by Art Pepper ... I should not put the link ... it is going to make what I just did look silly...
but for something to aspire to.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kK8D9jVNTE as a matter of interest he is playing in F# ( 6 Sharps) Enjoy ;}
