Gigs Sneak Preview from my new album

[Pete Thomas]

Now for something completely different.

This is a sort of tribute to Juan García Esquivel. From Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet.

Tribute?

Is a synonym for plagiarism?

Loving the vibe.... cheerissmo

Tribute?

Is a synonym for plagiarism?

Is it? I have no qualms about saying I was inspired by his style, just as I have been inspired by Ellington, Basie or Glenn Miller when writing for big band. But no copyright infringement of melody has taken place (I do believe Mr Tchaikovsky's works are public domain)

Wow...
Which Tarantino film have you sold this to? And if not, why not? (Don't try the old 'he's not making any more films'... when he hears this, he'll write another for sure.)
I can see Travolta and Samuel L. "Mo-Fo" Jackson dancing the quickstep to this...

P.S. I liked it 🙂

 

[Lesley]

Great stuff Pete

Sorry @Pete Thomas I was making light of what you said and not what you played. I was forgetting that infringement is a matter of importance in your professional world

You do a good job of standing on the shoulders of giants

I really enjoyed this.

I can hear this on Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad spinoff.

 

[Wade Cornell]

Big smiles for this. I love the way it's on a knife edge between reverence and satire. Which way does it fall? It doesn't it just soars there allowing the listener to bring whatever they have to the interpretation.

Nice! Every song pushes a memory button and this one resuscitates my wedding dance with Queen of Egypt.

I had to look up Juan García Esquivel and listen to a few of his recordings and I think you did him proud with this tribute! Took a bit of getting used to but with Esquivel as a reference point, I loved it!
