I have two pieces put up there. The first “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” is by Charles Mingus and I created the arrangement myself. It is highly composed, and I did it for auditions when I was 17.
The other piece is a very, very raw improvisation I just played a few hours ago based on the song “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” by Duke Ellington. It’s a classic jazz tune and not at all like the things I compose myself, but it’s something immediate that I can at least put down to get used to my awesome free recording software.
The sound quality sucks worse than a girl with knives for teeth, but I wanted to at least put something on tape for now. Like I said above, the things I compose are very much NOT like this, but these pieces at least reflect some of my training. More to come.
