BOTM BOTM March 2018 - Disney

[Tiberius]

Some good posts so far; sadly I've not even got home the last 2 weeks, so no contributions from me. I'm definitely there this weekend and teacher has already been booked to go through 'Everybody Want's to be a Cat'.

 

[U CAN CALL ME AL]

Being an oldie myself I went that route -from Disney's 1946 'Song Of The South' Zip A Dee Doo Dah

Sorry for the tacky midi backing 😉

Well I was warned! Good to hear you again, sax sounding nice. Shame about the midi.
Regards Al

Thank-you Al! That was my first recording with a new mp I picked up -the Jody Jazz Jet.

After many many months of following this section I’m definitely going to producer first recording this month. Once I sought out my consistency issues

It doesn't have to be perfect 🙂

Heigh Ho, it's time to get out the alto. It's another Hal Leonard backing track, played with a New Orleans street beat, but it made me think calypso.

From experience, that isn't the way it works. Get posting and you will improve faster than waiting until you get 'better'.

Ok, finally got some time to start work on this, not much but need to keep with the programme 🙂

Just the first chorus for now...

Everybody want's to be a cat

Well, with all the bad weather this month I didn't manage to get home enough for even my usual weekend playing; I still have a few Disney tracks I'd like to try so I'm going to carry on with this one. Of course if anyone else want's to take this up and suggest a theme or song for next week then feel free.

Totally budding in, but I'm still a bit new here and just noticed this. Is the idea that any of us can make a recording regardless of its quality to share that fits the theme? If so I may want to start participating.

Yes, all members are welcome to post, and the threads don't get closed, so if you want to post on an older one, do.

Is the idea that any of us can make a recording regardless of its quality to share that fits the theme?.

Basically yes. Originally these threads contained a single song. @Chris produced a backing track and notes so that everybody could had a go and post the result. Recently when interest wained a bit I suggested that rather that a single song, perhaps a theme would be better. Of course this was slightly more difficult for absolute beginners as it meant they have to source backing and notes...however this is the age of the internet and these are available either for free or a very small cost from sites such as jazbacks or kareoke-version and others.
Get involved, doesn't matter the quality or even if you can't do the whole song. Just the first verse is fine.

We are currently having discussions about SOTM & BOTM. Can I suggest we carry on with the Disney theme for April and we'll be back up and running in May?

And big thank you to Tiberius for being such an enthusiastic host 🙂

I also have an old recording (from July 2015) to share of the same song Alan did:

- 'When You Wish Upon A Star' (Theo Wanne metal Durga 12* - Plasticover 2):
When You Wish Upon A Star (Durga 12* PL2) by mrpeebee

I love the mellow tone of your 1953 Selmer.
