'The Man I Love' - Accompanying a soloist Tutorial

One of the great Gershwin tunes. This time I tried another experiment. Having heard the wonderful Herbie Hancock accompaniment on this same tune elsewhere on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRfnfsN2orU I thought I would try the same tune as a tutorial.
I first recorded the bass and drums, then video-ed the solo instrument playing (more or less) the tune. Then, I added the piano accompaniment in a further pass.
All parts were improvised - since each video recording was also recorded as midi, the notation, comments, keyboard views came later, and assembled on a rather crowded screen! You will probably need to watch in HD mode to see the detail - or download (free) an excellent quality video and the midi file, from my website at http://www.bushgrafts.com . On my DVD there is also a printable transcription of the piano accompaniment, and also the bass and drums backing track. Details are on my website.

I love the looseness of this multitrack. Great playing and terrific mix, Doug. I'll have to look for this trumpet on my CP300. I didn't know I had it! (if I do)

Thanks Tom. It is just one of the standard Yamaha XG Brass patches patch 4 - 'Trombone'

Certainly, your experiment is a success in my book, thank you for sharing.

congratulations on your experimentations. tho..I wonder if one invests too much time with the electronic aspects of todays instruments you loose sight of the goal of creating/playing music. just a thought, not a critique. thanks you for your video.

Excellent Doug. Looks like I'm your first comment and first rating.

I have the Yamaha Clavinova and it has that same trombone stop and I use it quite often. I like the effect of it with a trombone quartet against bass and drums.

I look forward to your offerings. Thanks.
