Not quite accurate, it’s me on bass guitar

I'd probably go into walking bass somewhere in there for a change. But that's just me.

Now I have a version of my NOLA rhumba track in the key of G

(I am trying to have a go at this, and C was giving me problems, either too high or too low for my limited breaths)

I'm having a go in concert Eb with a Band in a Box backing I made using some Real Tracks all called "Mardi Gras". Quite a sax friendly key and the one used by Roomful of Blues.

U CAN CALL ME AL said:
Lots of questions and videos of OP’s takes. After watching the performance of Misters Allen and Kemp, mine is lacking growls, flutter tongue, altissimo screams and other such rock requirements. Nevertheless I will dare to post!

JAMBALAYA

Nice take, @U CAN CALL ME AL very subtle!

But why is it so quiet here? I could post a "punk version" :happydance:

I thought I'd really enjoy soloing on this one, but I really can't find a groove that I'm liking. But here's a shot, may have another before the end of the month!

Got a sore on my lip so I can't blow as I'd like to but here is a quick take, just to add some noise!

I made a recording based on the Roomful of Blues version, but thankfully without me attempting to sing. I had transcribed their horn section parts and played them on soprano (for trumpet) and baritone and then attempted the melody and solo on tenor.

Jambalaya - Mardi Gras Rhys Saxes V2a.mp3 - Box

I thought the BiaB backing in their key (Eb) and tempo (163bpm) using Mardi Gras RealTracks was quite fun, but I sacked the bass player as he was just doubling up the piano left hand line.
