This Topic is sort of about 'Interpreting a piece of music you play', but concentrating on how you can develop a piece, starting off quietly, and gradually adding more into the Registration you are using as you go along. Or in other words, not going straight into a song 'hammer and tongs' and keeping that up all the way through. These examples are not from the AR, but the ideas expressed can equally be applied to the AR.
This is what John Traves has done with his interpretation of
Lullaby Of Birdland. I was really taken with how he built this up as he played through it. Just listen to his 'free-play' Intro; then he comes in with the bass, playing it on the first and third beats of the bar; followed by the bass playing
every beat of the bar. Fantastic! And then in comes the Trumpet. Knocks your socks off! Love it! Thanks John for letting me put this up.
