Shots from Jazz Live, including Setup, Soundcheck, Interview, and the LIVE show...
Here's the log of the chat room tonight...all me...but it was a ton of fun to share..
1st Tune: My Shining Hour...I think...nicely done also...
20:15outlawv2nd Tune: Just Squeeze Me...I think...you'd think I know these standards, but na....
20:17outlawv3rd Tune: Scrapple From The Apple...Charlie Parker's tune...and I bet that Mundell played it with Bird at one time or another...
20:21outlawvMan...Mundell may have a senior moment or two on stage, but his playing is so right on all the time!
20:25outlawv4th Tune: I Remember Clifford, written by Jazz Live SD alum, Benny Golson
20:28outlawvNicely
done solo guitar by Mundell. I guess I need to start thinking about
what to ask Mundell at the break...we went through a whole lot during
the pre-recorded interview...
20:32outlawv5th Tune: Another Bird tune...didn't hear the intro...familiar....dang it...
20:37outlawv6th Tune: There's A Small Hotel, by Rogers and Hart. Love this tune...
20:46outlawv7th Tune: Darn That Dream. Breaking the rule of two ballads in a row...and no complaints from the Seville Theatre crowd!
20:50outlawvWow...Mundell plays some awesome harmonious chords on that guitar...very beautiful sounding...
20:53outlawvSince
we've heard a couple of Bird tunes tonight, I'm going to ask him about
performing with Bird. And maybe about last year's Mundell Lowe day in
is Mississippi home town.
20:54outlawv8th
Tune: Vierd Blues....I think that's the spelling...Miles Davis tune.
Mundell sitting out on this one...and this looks like the one before
the break...off to the stage!
21:04outlawvGreat story about Mundell playing with Charlie 'Bird' Parker and how gracious and sharing of the stage that Bird was...cool
21:04outlawv9th
Tune: The Way You Look Tonight by Jerome Kern. Just pianist Mike
Wofford and Mundell, doing the tune as a JAzz Waltz. Mike totally plays
beautifully...nice single note run...
21:09outlawvThat was spectacular...crowd liked it too!
21:09outlawv10th Tune: Ask Me Now by Monk. Sooooo glad they are playing this beautiful Monk tune!
21:17outlawv11th Tune: Frank Loesser's tune...oops...what's the title? Dang...again...should know...
21:18outlawvGetting
close to the end of the Live show, then the interview with Mundell...we
covered lots of ground in his career...lots of great things to say
about the recently passed Hank Jones...
21:24outlawv12th
Tune: Willow Weep for Me, by Ann Ronnell (sp?)...and I am signing off
to get back to the stage to end the Live show...interview in 7 minutes!
