Re: [Harp-L] Re: Fly Me to the Moon



Jerome,

I've been working on this song for a while and have been listening quite a bit to the Ray Brown/Monty Alexander/Russell Malone version as well as Diana Krall to remind myself of the lyrics. Sounds great to me. I know where you are in the song. Seems like a good organic development to the solo. I've listened to it a couple of times. I have no problem with the choice of the "high note" in question. Seems to fit with the the music and the lyrics. I particularly like the segment right after that from 2:11 to 2:22. There are some places I might different choices, but overall I like it.

I had the same remark from another person on a forum.
The funny point is that I posted this one because I had the feeling that for
once I was quite cool & didn't do too much :-)


To be clear, to me these are not acrobatics, and I don't play these licks
because I can, but because I hear the tune that way.
I'm in "real improvisation" 90% of the time here.
I mean these are not licks I've worked in advance. I hear the music that way
& play what I hear at that moment.
So if I hear few notes, I play few notes, and if I hear a lot of notes, I
play a lot of notes. I don't count them when hearing in my head before
playing :-)


But to me, as I said, this one was quite cool compared to many other
choruses of mine.
When I listen to it, I don't hear any note that I think I shouldn't have
played (contrarily to what usually happens when I listen to myself).
Maybe we just don't hear the same. You'd like it probably extremely cool &
soft.


Thanks anyway for your feedback, which helps me in any case,

Regards,

Jerome

I dunno Jersi, I usually like your playing, but on that tune I think the
song would be better served by laying back, not playing so many notes and
focusing more on creating a mellow mood. Are the accelerated acrobatics and
10 blow squeal really appropriate to that tune? Just because you can,
doesn't mean you should. ;>
