Marvin Bugalu Smith Group: Cottontail
You know, sometimes playing jazz is just about the most fun you can have. I got such a great feeling from this gig, which was about a month ago (early feb 2010).
Recorded live at the Terrace Lounge here in Newburgh, this particular tune is Duke Ellington's "Cottontail", an uptempo scorcher based on the ever popular "Rhythm Changes" chord progression. Lew Scott is kicking it on bass, with Colin Pohl on Tenor.
This is a prime example of the synthesizer in jazz. I think it belongs there, despite popular opinion. Aw, who listens to "them", anyway?
Enjoy. :)
