Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (ocarina)

By Joe Zawinul, keyboardist for Cannonball Adderly. Gotta love this great laid-back tune. Played on Mountain G warmstone inline ocarina, with no reverb other than what the empty room supplied, which seemed enough to me. Instrumental backing track courtesy of jazzbacks.com.

This is so wonderfully done!

And the sound is being recorded through that mic on the headset?

That is pretty amazing!

[ubizmo]

Yup, it's just that little cheapo headset mic.

Beautiful!

Damn, I like your style!

Do you post mp3s of these tunes?

I would definitely put them in my iPod.

[ubizmo]

Thanks! I've put some mp3s up, when I think of it. I'll be sure to get a few more going.

I often scare away the wife with ocarinas, whether it be from me playing or playing youtube vids. It's not that she dislikes them, it's just not her choice of music and how often I'm playing them but just now, watching/listening she says "Hey that's that Ubizmo guy isn't it? Out of all the guys you listen to, he's the best, I could even clean to his music!" And that right there is a huge compliment!

It's your great playing and also, you're choice in material! Way diff from the usual ocarinists!

[ubizmo]

Don't worry, I scare away people too. That's why it's key for me to have an ocarina that I can have with me when I'm out and about. I listen to the radio and when I hear something I like, I jot it down to try later.
