Dig This Samba



Enviado por: Lot2learn
Informacoes do Video:
About 10 years ago I downloaded a MIDI file called Dig This Samba. I found out that it was recorded to MIDI by a terrific pianist named Robert Aries, who played with John Scofield. The MIDI file had only piano, bass and vibes - no drums. I emailed Robert about this track and he told me he did it for a drummer who was learning the song, hence the lack of a drum track.
I tried to learn it at the time but struggled and struggled and finally gave up. I recently stumbled across the MIDI file again and decided, I want to learn this song! The degree of difficulty for me is high because first, Robert plays it at about 225 BPM and second, the fantastic melody is not so
mething that flows under my fingers very easily. I decided to do this song at a more reasonable 170 BPM. I used the original bass backing track from Robert's MIDI file and used a BIAB generated drum track. One correction in the annotation - the change that reads G-7(b5) to D7(b9) is incorrect. Th
e D7 is really a C7(b9). I have not annotated the solo section. Suffice it to say the solo is constructed primarily of chord tones, using approach notes, and trying to bring the melody into the solo at spots for reinforcement. I recently found out who wrote the song and some history behind its aut
hor so I'm dedicating this to the late, great Manfredo Fest. Here is a short blurb of info I found about him: Manfredo Fest - Pianist, bandleader Born: 1936 in Porto Alegre, Brazil Died: October 8, 1999 in Tampa, Florida Pioneer in Jazz Samba Born legally blind, was classically trained, at age
17 plugged into the work of George Shearing and Bill Evans. Along with German-born vibraphonist and chromatic harmonica wizard Hendrik Meurkens, collaborated on Dig This Samba.

Hi Lot2learn, ... ( 8 months ago by catohoeben)
Hi Lot2learn, really nice playing. I'm an intermediate piano player who has loved jazz since the minute I heard Billy Taylor and Oscar Peterson at a young age. I've been plaing for about 21 years on and off but am determined to get better. Can you advise on any books/learning materials I can use to learn about chord voicings, practicing without hurting myself and improving my speed? I feel I'm stuck in intermediate world and I want to break into advanced world! Thanks
