On Monday, I received the songs for the Pat Metheny clinic arrived. They are:
Soul Cowboy
Message To A Friend
Bright Size Life
Question and Answer
James
The Red One
I am familiar with all of them, except the first one. It is a very interesting tune. At first listen it sounds like a standard 12 bar blues number. The version linked to above is not the one on the Trio 99-00 disk. I am looking forward to learning it. The other numbers are pretty standard stuff. The last one was a Scofield/Metheny collaboration. The second one is a nice example of Metheny/Hayden.
I am continuing to think about the tunes that I am going to bring to the clinic, but have not made much headway.
We had a nice gig last night with the Big Band. Bob mentioned that he is thinking of arranging a Spivak tune, with a little bass feature section.
Well, that is all for now.
