'You Don't Know What Love Is'

[Colin the Bear]

Hey Matt. Lovely playing and a great recording.

 

[Chris]

Hi Matt I think this is the one you want..

@CRAISYDAISYDOO - A great sultry slick version, lots of good space with a soft sub sound and nice crescendo's and smooth solo idea's, liking the minor maj 7 feel

took me 10 mins just to write ya name ))

 

[Colin the Bear]

Same great playing with a more sat down feel. Loved it again.

 

[B Flat]

Chris: Really nice sound you're getting that makes for a smooth recording.
You're playing In a Mellow Tone. (That sounds like a good name for a tune).

 

[B Flat]

Crazydaisydoo: Wow, what a great tone.
Even the crappy speaker on my IPad couldn't ruin that.
Looks like it was a piece of cake for you too.
You've inspired me to work on this one some more.
Nick.

3 new versions since I was last on Colin,Chris and Matt. ( 3 tenors in a row):welldone They were all great and showed loads of variation from each other. I have to thank Matt for posting. Hopefully this will be his first of many on BOTM . I`m working on mine but not nearly happy yet

Knocked this out this afternoon. What a cracking tune. There seems to be lots I've never heard before.

There's a couple of bear traps in this one. Bar 21 , 5th bar of the break. My copy for tenor is noted Em7 A7 so the Eb should be natural to my thinking and ear.

And it's in F minor not Ab, so any blues scale runs in F will sound better. ( probably)

That was really nice Colin .. I especially liked the tempo changes throughout !

 

[Brendan]

OK - looks like I can post a link now ..

So I tried the tune this morning. I'd played the head before, but I've not worked on the solo, so as a result it's a bit of a plodding, ill-timed mess.
Set your alarm clock for 4 minutes ...

After an interesting start it settled down very nicely You managed to create a very mournful feel with the solo, don't know if it was intended but it worked very well. Glad to have you on the BoTM thread Brendan

Chris..

 

[Brendan]

Mournful .... well that's a step up from pathetic !! ;}
Oh .. and thanks for supplying the backing.
(interesting starts happen when there's no count in !! )) )

 

[Sue]

Wow , I go away for a day and come back to some fine recordings, Chris Matt and Brendan. All different but equally enjoyable. That's what I love about this BoTM thread.

Interesting listen to a Baritone version....
Well done...!
Cheers

 

[Brendan]

Thanks Sue and Marcello for listening.
I spent the rest of yesterday regretting that I posted that mess !
Unlike some people (peebee) ... I'm not skilled enough to post a tune with improv after only a day. :shocked:
(I was just too excited .. with the new forum and all .... )

Since we have the whole month still, I think I'll :
- practice some more
- try it an octave higher
- and pick up the tempo.

@Brendan - nice rich baritone tone, very full, but that start was rather "different", cough, splutter?? believe me i have started and finished WAAAY worse than that in my time so there is hope yet ;}

sounded much better when you went up the octave half way through, sounded nice in that register...

 

[Chris]

Just had another play with this tune.

http://snd.sc/13cQkS1 Honest it is different..

The start was me practicing my altissimo .. :shocked:
I've played the last few tunes as low as possible (lots of low A's and Bb's) as an exercise, and because someone over at the other forum mentioned that I was playing too high !!

You were swinging the head more in this version Chris - very nice !

Had some time for two quick and dirty takes on this very nice song. Never played it before, but I listened a lot to the great version of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman. As some of you might know I always like to fool around with mouthpieces (at least in home recordings, out-doors I mostly play the same piece), so here are two takes: one on a 1950's vintage Otto Link Florida no USA 10* (my main mouthpiece) and one a modern Otto Link STM NY 11. Both played on the same Selmer SBA and La Voz medium reed.

- 'You Don't Know What Love Is' (1950's Florida no USA 10* - La Voz medium):

- 'You Don't Know What Love Is' (current STM NY 11 - La Voz medium):

Both very good pieces, but I prefer the vintage Florida being a bit darker, stronger and having a more complex sound than the NY 11.

Hope to find some listening and commenting time for other takes here later this week.
