Description : I'm off round the USA for 6 months, so won't be able to post much. This piece isn't really finished, and it gets a bit lost in places, but I thought I'd put in on anyway. Hadn't done any jazz for a while. Any sax players out there ??

Description : Instrumental.
Uses minor 9ths, unresolved harmonies, and atmospheric sounds.
Features my favorite guitar, an old Hagstrom. Minimalist playing, and some long bended notes.
Punchy in parts, sad and enigmatic in others.
I think this one escaped from me a bit, but that's good. I hope! Re-worked, mixed and mastered 3/29/2016

Description : Minor Piece.
A simple Melody and Chord Sequence repeats using different treatments and variations. I tried for the right balance between power and reflection.

Description : Guitar Instrumental piece.
I discovered a version of this on a tape I had recorded on a home made multi track machine in the 80s, and liked it so I re-worked it, using the same guitar I used back then. It's dedicated to Hank Marvin, who first showed many of us what a magical instrument electric guitar can be.

Description : Instrumental.
Two melodies float over a chord sequence with different backing treatments.
Uses a bassoon-like lead part sometimes to give a middle English feel.
The second section uses a slow heavier beat to lead the listener into the center of the sound.
(You need to like raucous for this!)
Looking for a solid almost dogmatic piece to contrast to the more usual ethereal pieces, which can sometimes leave you a bit lost.

Description : A gentle track. Best played quiet. First cut in '06 and forgotten, Then, on listening to it again, I liked it and worked on it some more.
A simple phrase, over a nice chord sequence which is repeated with some different treatments with a couple of changes. Flute ,Piano, strings, bass.

Description : Instrumental piece. New;y remixed with new speaker setup, and sharpened a bit. Visits a couple of moods, and then chills out free form strings and flutes over a rhythm section based on piano bass and drums through an unresolved chord sequence.
I used a jungle drum loop by Edge 7 as the foundation.

Description : Gentle Piece. 1st Section quite formal A soft string pad drifts a searching melody over a series of developing harmonies with a simple fundamental bass.
The second section introduces a xylophone with repeats, a rhythm section including sparse tr8 beats, Electric Piano, congas, and an old Ibanez Bass that has a warm sound

Description : Rock Instrumental. Minor key (mostly). Writing Process started by throwing down chord sequences, with more variations than usual, and then seeing what developed over the top. Used Roland Tr-8 for beats, and multi band compressor to open up the sound. Sep 20215: Fixed timing problems, and worked more on mastering. Sept 14 2015: Fixed some wrong notes and re-mastered. Mar 29 2016 re-mixed and mastered

Description : Another shot at an earlier piece. I've been learning some stuff about recording, mixing, and Mastering on-line, and this was a test piece. It seems fuller and more gentle than the other project, (which is still here)

Description : I was watching T.V. and absently playing guitar. The news was crazy, as usual, and I wanted something different. This tune came from that. It's really slow, and (i hope) restful.
It's been down-sampled to A=432Hz. I'm not completely convinced that it's better, but I do prefer the 432 version. Mastered:7/5/15

Description : Instrumental piece. Guitar. Electric Piano, Bass, Congas, Synthesized drums, strings, etc. Has a kind of Brit sound. I've never played a Wurlitzer piano, but just for a change, I used a Wurlitzer patch here. The first guitar verse was processed to get a very unusual sound. Hope it's not too much! Some versions sounded a bit clownish, hence the name. I hope you like it, or it gives some ideas. not sure about the genre. Some of it is rock, but not all.
A new version {4/16/2015) makes changes based on the reviews I received. Thanks everyone

Description : Old school bebop piece. Really just a trial to work with real instruments and try to learn more about separation and blending of sounds. only the basic drum track and harmonica break are synthesized. The rest is real.

Description : New version. Was way too cluttered.
I may be the only person in the Universe that didn't "get" distorted guitar. Well, that's changed. It's heavier than usual. Still using more "real" instruments. Crunchy Yamaha bass + low staccato piano octaves boost the start of each bar. Congas, and a Roland TR-8 fill out the bar tails. Overdrive Strat tells the tune. Synth soft pads and strings set the mood. If anyone would like to replace the guitar work (or anything else) with better, or more interesting, Pls let me know.
It's named after Eleanor Roosevelt, who seems to have lived her life on her own terms. (Although I expect she'd hate this if she heard it!)
