October 27, 2020  -  User Showcase Song - Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, SOMETHING BLUES

The song started out as a Bob James-style arrangement but as often happens, it developed a life of its own.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blues

The song is based around a 12-bar sequence (plus a bridge) but, the guitar solo chorus (at 2:14) is the only chorus that sounds anything like a 12-bar blues. The rest of the song has a more of a jazz tinge with substitute and extended chords.

THE BAND
The piano accompaniment is mostly my rearrangement of a couple RTs by Miles Black.
The beautiful acoustic bass sounds are from Neil Swainson.
The early drums are RTs from Danny Gottlieb and Ricky Lawson. Franklin (Third) Richardson plays the Swing16 drums from the solos onwards.
The guitar chordal accompaniment is mostly my rearrangement of RTs by Dwight Sills, who also provides the guitar solo.
The alto sax is from RT1056, featuring the great Eric Marienthal.
I created the guitar intro and the melody in the bridge sections in Native Instrument’s Electric Sunburst Deluxe.
