Sounds like you've been to the Brasserie Beaubien before! lol Thanks for the comment, it is well appreciated. This was the 1st time this particular group of musicians had ever played together (hence the mistakes & faux pas moments). But in general we did have a blast. Tried to base a regular group, but after months on end we couldn't find an available bass player. I'd like to try again in the coming new year (2017 wow! hard to believe). But I'd like to add a little more electronica to a soul-jazz, ambient (chill-out), with some funk, fusion, and plenty of room for improvisation. (A man has to have dreams! ;))
The groove can be attributed a lot to the interaction between the drummer Oleg Komarov and my favorite percussionist Kazo Soudin. They help make a fun rhythm section. This was before I got my Howard Roberts Fusion. I'm playing my Ibanez Artstar AE200. It has a mini humbucker in the fingerboard position and a piezo in the large wooden glued on bridge(non-adjustable). A volume control for each pickup and a single tone control. Rather than f-holes in the top, there's straight slots under and perpendicular to the strings. It's all maple and semi-hollow. Haven't seen many around. Somewhat rare I guess..
Funky! Great rhythm w/ the guitar, bass, drums & congas. Nice guitar solo too (but kinda' short). Thanks for sharing.
Thanks UE. I saw your channel, we seem to have a lot in common! :0)
great vibe...as I listen I can smell the whiskey and smoke around me...
