Drum Genius Tryout

Posted on January 19, 2023 by Chris Fagan • Leave a comment

Hey fellow jazz instrumentalists, music students, and all-round jazz consumers, I dug into the Drumgenius app that the fine saxophonist, Tim Armacost recommended to me and found it extraordinarily more interesting than playing with a metronome. Tons of drum styles, tempos, odd meters, and groves in 8 or more repeating bars that you can hook … Continue reading →

“Good Morning Heartache” quarantine edition

Hey folks, Bored again. Covid bored. Fuck. Here is take 1 of GMH. Great tune. Problem for me is I heard the Joe Henderson version of this when I was 20 and I can’t get the Joe-isms out of my head when I play it ever since. It’s an amazing cut but I think it … Continue reading →

Could you do me a favor…..

Posted on October 23, 2021 by Chris Fagan • 4 Comments

Hey folks, Strange thing happened the other day. I got a royalty check. Yeah I know. Incredible. As it turns out, all the $.000000002’s that the streaming services give you eventually add up to a two figure dollar amount that they finally send you. In this case, I got a boost on Spotify because I … Continue reading →

Hey folks, I stuck with clarinet last week and practiced some transcribed Chet Baker solos that sit really awkwardly across the break. Anyway, here’s what I came up with today. The video lapses and you can’t see it, but I was interrupted and had to stop to keep the kitten from attacking the mic (see … Continue reading →

Reunion with Clarinet (after literally decades)

Posted on August 25, 2021 by Chris Fagan • Leave a comment

Hello again folks, I pulled out the clarinet and made this thing. I think since I switched to tenor from alto, my embouchure got a little more flexible so it didn’t go too badly. I had literally given up on this axe because there are so many great doublers in Seattle, I couldn’t use it … Continue reading →

Lush Life

Posted on August 7, 2021 by Chris Fagan • 4 Comments

What is there to say other than this is one of the heaviest tunes in the jazz repertoire. The closest thing (I think) we have to an original recording is one of Billy Strayhorn singing and playing it trio in a live setting. That performance leaves some questions as to what the melody really is … Continue reading →
