dr lopez Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I am arranging Alberto Balsam for my jazz combo to play at a competition next year, and would love anyone's thoughts as to what i should include in the arrangement. I'm giving it a mellow samba latin feel for the drums, but I've been thinking about putting the bridge in 5/4. Is this a good idea? For the chord progression, I've concluded that it's pretty much just a B flat Mixo scale, followed by a short G minor measure every four measures. G minor is essentially B flat mixo anyway, so it's just one scale, which is good for soloing on. Should I include a key change? haven't decided yet. The combo will most likely be drums, upright bass, trombone, trumpet, and possibly alto sax. Suggestions on how I should divide up the parts and melody? Please let me know what you think.

Guest Susan Midriff Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Arched Maid Via RDJ I can play that shit! it's a fun song to jam to, though its meant for more than one lead instrument, but its perfect for a guitar/bass/drum setup, the drummer can really get creative with that song. i always wanted to record that too, maybe i should Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/33979-jazz-combo-arranging-alberto-balsam/#findComment-725318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vegeta897 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) You people fucking suck. I thought that rock cover was awesome. You're either pretentious aphex-loving fucks or have hearing problems. I guess they didn't use enough random fucking noises. This is why I hate watmm. They had the balls to attempt it, and they had the skill to do a fully live performance. It's fucking Aphex love. Do you fucking not enjoy aphex melodies when they're played on anything other than an ms20 or what-the-fuck-ever?
