And this quote of the day comes from Rick Beato:
“Before ProTools, there were Pros…”

As always, thanks for viewing.
ShekBand are awesome!
What a wonderful family trio from Kyiv, Ukraine:
And I don’t know about you, but I will definitely buy their first album which will be coming soon, hopefully. Thanks to Jean-Paul for the link.
Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts
These are cool cats from Japan, playing the music from “Cowboy Bebop”:
And here’s kind of an about from the late 2021 Netflix series:
A must see in my opinion. Pure beauty through and through. And nothing beats some cool, or rather hot hard bop. Enjoy.
More? Here you go… and here are some more… love the girl and the dog 😉 And these two were particularly amazing:
What a band. And what a composer. Chapeau!
For the original motion picture soundtrack, look and listen here.
A lesson in how to accompany a singer
Few people ever realised how great a singer Chet Baker was. And listen how perfectly bass player Jon Burr is on that record, as are Ben Riley on drums, and Harold Danko on piano. Plus of course, Chet on his trumpet.
One of those albums which is a must have in my opinion… enjoy, or listen to it on Youtube where you’ll also have a track list.
Conversations
Played a few harmonics and a bit of bass onto a lovely ballad from Carlo, Shi, and Peter:

New MIDI keyboard
My old MIDI master keyboard with 49 keys was pretty finished, and I had that since 25 or 30 years – so time for a new one. I would have bought another simple and cheap one, but then saw a good deal with lots of additional full versions of libraries, like a Rhodes e-piano and a Mini Moog synth, so I could hardly say “no” to that. And I think Zuleikha likes it as well…
So that was a right decision… and like always, thanks for reading.

Thanks to Mitchie for taking the photo, and thanks to all friends on Wikiloops for making this possible. And without Wikiloops I would never have dreamt about learning to play the upright… 🙂
When the lights go out (remix 2022)
Did a second remix of an old Wikiloops classic, and an all time favourite song of mine:

I went for a bit more transparency and clarity, with newer tools and a bit more knowledge. Thanks again to Hurzel and to Shi, I hope they like what I did. And thanks to you for listening – and if you play or sing yourself, then come and join us!
