[Nate Najar]

not a concert- just a rehearsal where I wanted to work on my recording
chops and introduce some new music to the trio....

this is a Charlie Byrd tune called "Charlotte's Fancy"

http://vimeo.com/26971990

It's a good room when I hang curtains and have an audience of 150.
But when empty (as in this case) it's a reverberant, uncontrolled
reflective garage. so I couldn't really use the spot mics- I had to
use the pickup feeds, which i don't like to do, but overall I think
the sound is still fine.

Very nice, but why does only the bass player have any music? Also, how
does it work out for you acoustically with the drums away at one side
and the bass centred?

It's a jazz trio. Nate already knows the song, the drummer knows what to
do with a song like this one, and the bass player isn't totally solid on
the changes yet. Once he is, he probably won't have music, either.

Also, how does it work out for you acoustically with the drums away at one
side and the bass centred?

yeah I just introduced the tune to the trio that night. I already
know it but the bass player needed the changes.

I like having the drummer off to the side- I don't like being next to
or in front of the drums. I always set up with the bass in between me
and the drummer. it feels good to me.

thanks for listening!

The drums are almost always the loudest instrument, so it's
nice to have a bit of space between them and the soloist.

Nice playing Nate. Enjoyed your smooth runs....

Very nice .... I'm jealous.

I have always been in awe of guys who can do that stuff ...

Me? I have to spend the hours working out exactly what I am going to
play ... rehearse it to death and then do ten takes before I get it
right ... but then I have the Van Gogh attitude ... he only had to get
the Mona Lisa right once?

And thank you for introducing me to Vimeo.com ... good for storing
stuff for visitors.

Oh, I thought that maybe when you heard the playback you
said: "Geez, I must have lost my ear!"

Van Gogh didn't have to get the Mona Lisa right at all. Leonado Da Vinci had
done a pretty good job of it already!

Everyone knows it was Nat King Cole.

Oh my Gaaaaaaawwwwdddd!

Is that the sign of the dreaded 'Old Timer's Disease'? [grin!]

Do you know, I have been using that analogy for years and no one
picked up on that ... me included!

You get the idea though?
