dr lopez Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I am arranging Alberto Balsam for my jazz combo to play at a competition next year, and would love anyone's thoughts as to what i should include in the arrangement. I'm giving it a mellow samba latin feel for the drums, but I've been thinking about putting the bridge in 5/4. Is this a good idea? For the chord progression, I've concluded that it's pretty much just a B flat Mixo scale, followed by a short G minor measure every four measures. G minor is essentially B flat mixo anyway, so it's just one scale, which is good for soloing on. Should I include a key change? haven't decided yet. The combo will most likely be drums, upright bass, trombone, trumpet, and possibly alto sax. Suggestions on how I should divide up the parts and melody? Please let me know what you think.

Guest Susan Midriff Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Arched Maid Via RDJ I can play that shit! it's a fun song to jam to, though its meant for more than one lead instrument, but its perfect for a guitar/bass/drum setup, the drummer can really get creative with that song. i always wanted to record that too, maybe i should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vegeta897 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 You people fucking suck. I thought that rock cover was awesome. You're either pretentious aphex-loving fucks or have hearing problems. I guess they didn't use enough random fucking noises. This is why I hate watmm. They had the balls to attempt it, and they had the skill to do a fully live performance. It's fucking Aphex love. Do you fucking not enjoy aphex melodies when they're played on anything other than an ms20 or what-the-fuck-ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
