Wow - high musicianship

[@Dtruthseek]

Another chance to spout off! This is an interesting song with an interesting history. The original (Hubbard) is AABBAA (each 8 bars). Inspired by this version, I created one just to help me get my brain around it. Then I played at two different jam sessions where it was played. Even advanced players got confused with the form. If one listens to versions since Hubbard's, you can get AABB (as in this Jazzinvaders version), AABBA, or the original form. (I suggest at jam sessions some communication beforehand 🤠)

Fabulous album, and a quality 'Live' version of 'Little Sunflower', the whole album is fab from start to finish- One of the Jazz Highlights of the year for me so far !!

[@fredschreffler4869]

Sweet.. Dig this. Very nice

[@DiscoAlli]

I agree Richard makes me smile so much indeed. Are they coming over to the UK do you know?

[@anjabunga0603]

Linda Bloemhard, she is still cool, from new wave to jazz

[@Dtruthseek]

I've been thinking about this video. It is just really good. At the baseline, this is a really strong presentation. Really good camera work, and really well recorded. A stellar group of musicians. I count the vocalist among these and like the way she is treated as just another musician / soloist, for example Dr. Smith solos after she restates the head at the end. (I think this is the trend now, count the vocalist as part of the team, and not the big cheese.) on this great team, though, Mr. Ton van der Kolk is holding everything together. carrying everybody on his shoulders by his dance. This cat is valuable. Is that a semi-hollow telecaster bass he's playin'? And the flugelhorn player is something else. Jan van Duikeren (if I watched the full 90 minute vid I'd no doubt have more praise for the others; for example the drummer in a group like this is critical and might be easy to take for granted 🙂 )

[@MusicandmoreNl078]

Thanks so much for you kind words Dan. Best, Ton

[@MusicandmoreNl078]

and by the way: it's an 1964 Harmony H22 hollowbody bass

Jan is the man!

[@MusicandmoreNl078]

Haha, we'll tell him

[@CaptainCreature]

078Beatclub please do....as a fellow flugelhorn/trumpet player...I am a huuuuuuggggeee fan. ^_^

[@Wally-H]

I agree. His playing is right out of the top drawer. It's no wonder Lonnie uses him on some of his own European dates, and I believe he plays with Candy Dulfer too (we'd all like to do that of course ;)

[@polodebordeaux120]

Version bien étrange comme j,aime avec des bons chorus
