April 2018 SOTM: Petite Fleure

[saxyjt]

I do apologise for my poor attempt at a joke, it happens when I have had a glass too many.

Are these guys classical players

They both study at the conservatoire de musique that tends to be classical oriented. So unless you're curious by nature, you stick to what they tell you.

I'm still working on Petite Fleur, I hope I'll be happy enough to post a version in the next couple of weeks. But I have another piece to work on that keeps me away from this...

Here is my quick and dirty take with a short backing track (melody and short solo part):

- 'Petite Fleur' (Florida no USA 10* - Rico Royal 2) short:
Petite Fleur (Florida no USA 10* - RR2) short by mrpeebee

I did also record a take with a longer more jazzy backing. Will probably post that one later this month.

...and here is my try on a 1967 Keilwerth "The New King":

Great tune. I was looking for another tune and found this version on YouTube done by my good friend Steve Call's group "The New Hot Five". You may remember him from the "Jazz for Cows" video. He is the one playing tuba. He is also a great jazz pianist.

Looking forward to your version

Also a great version too, last - superb backing track - love the change from tango to swing and back- thank you

Great! Thanks!

 

[Jeanette]

We are at the end of the month, I just want to say a big thank you to @chadders for his debut hosting, it was a great success

Thank you to everyone that contributed. We have a host in place for tomorrow so please do continue to support these threads.

If anybody wants to host do let me know and I'll ensure you get a turn.

Remember these threads never close so do continue to post if you missed doing so in the month

I'm hoping to have a go at this one myself

And also a big thank you to everyone who downloaded and tried the song, and to those that posted their recordings - We have heard some really great versions of this song

Nice one !! .

 

[Jeanette]

Nice attempt, when I've posted what I'm currently working on I'll have a go at this

And I did work on it for a while then for some reason it got left. Will someone hold me to account and I'll try again. It's bugging me I never posted having said I would

Well done! You are duly let off the hook.

@Jeanette . Thats an odd track at a difficult tempo. I thought you were going to lose it at the beginning but you picked it up and recovered. You have good intonation and tone. You just need to relax and enjoy it. It's fun to play.

Thanks Colin, appreciate your comments, yes if I could relax I'm sure it would sound better. I did enjoy it though.

Make it your warm up piece. A couple of decades and it'll play itself

Hubby is sick of it, I just promised him he won't have to hear it again!

I live alone. The neighbours are very familiar with it.
