Enjoy over twenty minutes of out-takes from a casual studio jam session with Thomas Grillo, and guitarist-Jeff Commissaris. Jeff was also one of the more than 2,000 runners in the 2009 Mississippi Blues Marathon. I ran into him at an arts meeting shortly before this jam session. This video features all out improvisation, and an improv on his song "Bad Samaritan. Bad Samaritan is copyrighted by Jeff Commissaris.

At first I thought this was going to be hilariously crappy, but wow, this is actually pretty legitimately neat. Some people really take that theremin seriously!

[ThomasGrillo]

@LeviMan2001 Indeed. :)

@Boutdonow14 HI, I am indeed still playing the theremin like crazy. Yeh, that was a great visit. :) Hope you get to make it back this way again. Take care, and keep on jammin' ! :)

[Boutdonow14]

Hey Thomas, just thought I'd say hello. Watching this video reminds me of what a good time that was when I was visiting Jackson, Mississippi. Hope this finds you doing well and still playing the heck out of the theromen. Cheers.

@videolizzard99 Yes. I was improvising here. The theremin can work just as well in jazz, as it can in classical, and other genres. :)

Just out of curiosity, are you improvising in this video? I'm thinking about getting my own theremin, but I'm afraid the applications may be somewhat limited. I play the alto saxophone as well as another little-known electronic gem called the Stylophone, and while I can (and have) played classical pieces, I much prefer jazz, especially improv.
