Groove 43 Fast (Nanigo) - Tommy Igoe GE 1.0 performed by Tom Geisler - Fran Merante Student

Here you have Tom opening up a bit more on this Nanigo tune. First off, his interpretation of the tune is fantastic. He takes liberties with the traditional Nanigo and adds his own personal flavor to it. Totally musical and at all times never stepping on the music, only complimenting it. Take note of how he notices the keyboard motifs and doubles them on occasion. Completely aware of what is going on with the other instruments and using that to enhance the music. Never really worrying about what HE will play next or how HE will impress the listener.....just completely playing for the music. The solo section is where he takes advantage of being able to open up more. If you are the soloist, that is your moment to shine but there should also be musical sense to the solo. A song within the song is how I like to think of it. Tom develops his solo great here. Displaying some technical ability while remaining musical and never leaving the scope of the tune. Be careful with those singles Tom, you can hurt someone!! Nice job Tom!!

Nice 6/8 piece. Love the roll at the end. Another well executed clip.

As my kid would say "That's sick!". It's a long way from the corn fields in Indiana. It is cool to see you rip it up. Keep it up. For some reason I can't get this one to play on my iPhone. I'm bummed cuz I can play it in the car.

I like the split screen thing going on. When was this taped? Like I said before Tommy, so much talent here, you need to join a band!
