This is my first posting on my first blog, hopefully someone will be curious to check this out. I guess I should start by telling you all about me; I am a 20 year old Bass player that has grown up in a small town called Carver (It is right next to Plymouth Mass.). I am a dedicated apprentice to the genre of jazz. My goals for this Blog is to help me branch out to other musicians, learn about new music from all of you, push some of my favorite musicians onto you guys, and to document my progress for you to follow.
I have been hooked on this one recording that I feel that everyone should hear. I feel that it has single handedly changed my improvising and composing style in a drastic way. The band is Deep Blue Organ Trio the song is “Goin’ to town”. If you do not know this one already then check it out on freenapster.com or limewire or any one of those other online programs. The organ melody is just so cool it makes me stop and think about how cool I am making my music thus creating a drastic change in my playing. Music, such as this can be greatly enjoyed by the non musician as well because it has that same “yea, we bad” attitude that James Brown’s music. But in a very different way that you will soon see. Technically this song is not terribly high on the scale but the pure feeling of it makes it greater than most of the other music I have in my collection.
