el croonio

still searching for this piano module, hard searching,

gigged with the vintage keys last night, with the 7-piece. gig organised by M, who had been at the turaya gathering, the one who was jamming away with all and sundry in the early hours of sunday morning, nice vibe, improvisatory nature, so i knew there was going to be an interesting space at the end of the gig...

so we played, vintage keys came out well, although i missed my nanopiano inevitably... vk not quite there, some work with envelopes still needed. good gig though, some good jams, me and SE actually hitting it off earlier with a 5 thing, interesting... then beattree, M & B's band, lovely cellist, lovely tunes, (fire in the water),... then this interesting space opened out...

i started playing over the dj, track finished (one click 45 times a minute), the chords stayed,

D6 E7 B-7 B-7

SE came over, as did SQ after a while, the cellist too (L). got some nice cooking business going on with improvised vocals, M & me. L playing a line i gave her (E F C C).

E- F C C
A- Bb C C
C D- Bb Bb
(C Bb Ab Ab) didn't play last night but could have worked.

very nice. then into this, that i'd come up with in the soundcheck:

C-7 D-7 Ab/Eb E7 A- D9 D-b5 G7

with L playing the tune (Bb A Ab Ab A B C-), me trying to find a complimentary tune, lovely, lovely, lovely.

then into a couple of covers, for all we know, silly games. M finding the chords and playing a solo... hmmmmmm.

had a lift back with some french / english cats,

spoke to both M & S (proprietor) about doing more stuff there with my nascent band.

(this because i saw logic J @ work & he complimented me on my nascent mullet),

so all round positive stuff...

just gotta find this piano module now.
