Softly As In a Morning Sunrise

A wonderful tune from Sigmund Romberg that goes between latin and swing feel. Hope that you enjoy my rendition.

Hey man nice playing, I love to call this tune at a gig but I usually take it a little faster. During the first 2 courses you can push you ideas way out there because the bridge is so sweet sounding on this tune. Good job, where are you located at?

[Sparkyk]

Glad you enjoyed it.

I am located in Texas City, TX about 30 miles south of Houston.

I enjoy play latin tunes that go to swing on the bridge and this allows for that.

You rock man. You sound like Chet.

[Sparkyk]

Thanks Steve,

I am working on some more pieces to put up but just haven't had much time lately.

Chet is one of my favorite players so you hit it right on.

Until later,

Keep Swinging, sk

A jazz trumpet player that resists the unsavory urge to puke out a bunch of cracked and wailed high notes! Maturity is on your side, I enjoy your cool approach. If the kids I play with could know what you know...

[Sparkyk]

Thanks for the nice comments. I think there is a place for high notes but in creating an improvisation for me is being able to control what I play and try to develop my ideas and still include some of the origional melody along with it to tie my solo to the tune.

I try to get my younger students to develop a solo like they are writing a paragraph in English. Melody is opening statement, then develop that melody bring it to a climax and bring the solo to a final statement. At least I try.Sparky

You sound great! Inspiring.

Latin is harder than you think. It's all in the clave rythem. Listen and develope your ideas from that.
