Re: Post a video/soundclip of yourself playing Jazz
Found this old thread while digging for something else, thought I'd resurrect it for Halloween.... Some really heavy hitters on here since my last visit.. awesome playing everyone! Here's some Swing music (I think that's Jazz) to keep the thread alive... Emily Reynolds on guitar, Bill Pontorelli on clarinet, and Ben Berry on bass...

That was great Jordan- could you talk a little about how you guys did amplification? I've just started playing in a quartet with the exact same instrumentation and I'm looking to find out what has worked for other people.Originally Posted by jramsey

Me and Don Stiernberg playing 4 Brothers. Don's been my teacher for the past year and these are the fruits of my labors.

Nice work Ethan. Must be a trip taking regular lessons from him. BTW I have a Jim Shenk octave mandolin...great instrument! He is a fine builder.
Re: Post a video/soundclip of yourself playing Jazz
Excellent work, Ethan. Keep it up!
Re: Post a video/soundclip of yourself playing Jazz
Thank you! As for amplification, the band doesn't own a sound system, just a couple of amps and mics. We do a lot of small acoustic gigs, but if a PA is available Emily and Ben usually plug in and Bill and I use microphones. I also have a Dyn-m for really loud or lack-of-mic situations.
@Pete, really great playing man! I got to spend a few days with Rich Levine last month, bet your ears were burning. Really look forward to meeting you and picking some tunes, maybe Weiser or Winfield next year. Take care.
@Ethan, that's a real special video. What an honor to get to study and play with one of the greats, and you sound awesome. Man, Don is just whipping that thing like a mule! Great to meet you at Winfield this year, hope to see you again soon.

Here's something a little different.... AL on a Vega Pettine bowlback. Kind of trying to straddle the line between jazz improv and a semi classical feel.
Anyway, a seasonal number for y'all.
Cheers,
Marc

Lovely playing-certainly sounds classical in some places.

I love an old Fats Waller song, don't play it too well though. Here is my Vanilla version of a progression with endless room for variation and jazzing it up.

Here's one of me playing with the "Dawg" at the 2011 Mandolin Symposium. I am playing so much bluegrass these days that I hope I don't forget how to play jazz.
Re: Post a video/soundclip of yourself playing Jazz
Ethan you sound great! Can't go wrong with Donnie.
