Tommy Morgan contacted me this morning to tell me that he's the player.
His playing on this soundtrack is about as good as I've ever heard in any
context. I just wish there was more of it. I believe there's some
diatonic in there, too, and it sure sounds great.
As I mentioned to Mr. Morgan, though I am a diatonic player, I'll take a
chromatic session if the part is not hard and the producer knows that I am
not a chrom guy by trade.
A few years ago a very good friend of mine asked me to come in on what we
both knew would be a bunch of sessions that were highly scored. I'm really
not all that generous, but I wanted to make sure that my friend got all the
work for his studio and production skills, so I told him to hire Mr. Morgan
for this gig.
In this particular case, I looked better by handing the job over to the
maestro than taking it for myself and my relationship with the producer
continues to be excellent even now.
I actually got a session once that would have ordinarily gone to Mr.
Morgan, except that he was travelling.
The producer was very well aware that I am not a chromatic guy, and that I
am a lousy reader. And I STILL made a mess of things, because the 6 bar
cue I had to record had a different time signature for each bar. It took
me a half hour to get what a good reader could have knocked off in a few
minutes or less. My producer knew what he was getting himself into, and I
gave him the nice, pretty chromatic sound he was hoping for, but I still
felt like an idiot.
So as it stands, if I DON'T play a Tommy Morgan session I look alot better
than if I do.
I could have predicted that.
