Building a piece up as you play through it
Posted: 02 Aug 2019 00:01
This Topic is sort of about 'Interpreting a piece of music you play', but concentrating on how you can develop a piece, starting off quietly, and gradually adding more into the Registration you are using as you go along. Or in other words, not going straight into a song 'hammer and tongs' and keeping that up all the way through.
This is what John Traves (JPT) has done with his interpretation of Lullaby Of Birdland. I was really taken with how he built this up as he played through it. Just listen to his 'free-play' Intro; then he comes in with the bass, playing it on the first and third beats of the bar; followed by the bass playing every beat of the bar. Fantastic! And then in comes the Trumpet. Knocks your socks off! Love it! Thanks John for letting me put this up.
