As a one-man band, I got the idea of using vibes and guitar a while back. Like piano, bass and drums, computer synthesized vibes aren’t bad so it’s a good format for the one-man band. Then I discovered Gary Burton, the greatest living vibes player, and he always uses guitar. I saw the band at Ronnie Scott’s last year and they were inspirational.
The result is a few tracks I’ve posted on MySpace:
Afro Blue. Afro-Cuban jazz standard by Mongo Santamaria. Recorded by many, including John Coltrane. This is based on the Gary Burton version.
Besame Mucho. Latin standard by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velasquez. Played by everybody, including the Beatles (and the Bettertones).
Silkskein. Own composition
First Impression. Julian Lage, Gary Burton’s guitarist.
La Zancada. Own composition
Nature Boy. Jazz standard made famous by Nat King Cole and played by everybody, including Miles Davis
