M.A.'s Music Site
My instrumental set draws on jazz, worldbeat, fusion and futuristic music. It is always a work in progress.
MY LIVE DEMO CD
(These songs will not be online because they are copyrighted by other people)
* Let There Be Love(originally performed by Sammy Davis Jr. and Julie London)
* Verona (originally by Bill Frisell)
* West Coast Blues (Slight Return) written by Wes Montgomery
* ALTERNATE Love For Sale (written by Cole Porter)
I've also performed pieces by Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Wes Montgomery, Billy Strayhorn, Fats Waller, traditional music from Greece to Nigeria to Spain, and whatever happens in the heat of a jam! Let me show your venue a good time!
I would also be interested in forming a combo with keyboard (Hammond, Rhodes electric piano, analog synth) and horn players. Upright bass players and other interesting performers would be welcome too.
MY SOUNDTRACK DEMO
(Opens in a new window in Chrome. Don't forget to come back.)
7 string
A mood solo piece.
New track! Some interesting changes and octavey goodness over a lounging rhythm. Obviously a home recording, but they all are for now. And can you spot the first edit?
They Don't Write 'em Like That Anymore
This is a rough demo of a jazz piece for horn, bass and guitar. The copyrighted chart is here.
12 string jazz
Download to iTunes The mp3 Version, alternate take
Groove swing styles in a variation on a theme by Sun Ra (with references to Hendrix and a popular TV theme).
Mediterranean style acoustic
New track! A sort of flamenco fusion mess.
New April 2010 recording! A sort of bossa. This is a interim draft towards something which should be dynamite soon.
Below: My old rock tracks! They were down for awhile, now they're back as of 2009! Thanks to Jim at Annelida Studios for rescuing the archived mp3s.
These are the year 2000 mixes though. I do hope to do a remix of these, or a proper studio recording one day.
