Yes, TeeGee announced that they/he made me an additional moderator on this awesome platform 🙂
Just saw this, and it’s amazing. Learned a lot.
How cool…
Finished, it, finally. Here is the complete playlist in the right order.
So thanks to everyone:
It was great fun. Hope to see and hear you all again soon! 🙂
This is what separates a double bass from an electric one:
Another photo from Alexander Dawo which I took last week in Schlitz. And yes, he explained to me later how to get in and out of this Daumenlage…
As always, thanks for reading and viewing.
Here are three more tracks from the concert of last Sunday:
Enjoy, and thanks for watching & listening.
Nachdem ich gestern bereits ein Video der Alumni Big Band zusammen mit “den Sängerinnen” hochgeladen hatte folgt nun die erste Hälfte des Konzerts von Sonntag en bloc. Das Programm und die Titel sind:
Die zweite Hälfte – also alles was nach dem bereits gezeigten “Adios Axelito” gespielt wurde – werde ich in einzelne Stücke aufteilen.
Wie immer vielen Dank für’s Lesen, Zusehen, Zuhören usw.
I’m still processing videos of the PDS students while I write this, but some of my friends from Wikiloops are also active. And just a few moments ago I saw that Brian has uploaded a nice remix of a song on which I played as well. Here it is:
That makes the list of musicians as it is for now:
Thanks to Brian for this nice addition. And as always, thanks for listening.
Here’s a photo of Alexander Dawo with his nice 5-string double bass by Pöllmann. If I remember it correctly, the instrument is from around 1960, so almost my age. And although it’s a cheaper one of the Pöllmann instruments, it’s still 5-digit (almost double of our used Toyota). Alex and his instrument sound very good…
He brought some copies of a CD on which he played, so I bought one from him. It’s this one.
As always, thanks for reading.
As I wrote during the last days already, I’ve had the pleasure and the honour to be invited to document a three day rehearsal plus one day of concert of different bands and classes of Zuleikha’s high school, so from last Thursday to Sunday I went to Landesmusikakademie Hessen with them.
I took photos and videos using three cameras plus a portable 4 track audio recorder, and collected some 100GB of data – all of which now has to be edited, cut, and so on. And starting from today these photos and videos are to be presented to the participants and of course to their parents and families.
Here’s a first one – a song by German composer / arranger /conductor / band leader Kurt Klose, called “Adios Axelito”:
My videos and photos aren’t perfect – but what is? I hope you’ll see that we all have had some fun during last week. And now we have something nice to remember 🙂
You can hear these artists again today at their (former, for some) school. Entrance is free.
Thanks for reading / watching / listening.
