Episode 36: Real Book Inspired | Promenade - 9/8 | Odd Meter Music | Speed Composition

Ep 36: 10-26-19 Finding inspiration in a random page of a Real Book - 'Promenade' Section A in 9/8, by Denny Zeitlin. This song is Jazz noodling at its finest, awaking those chord scale memories... These older Jazz artists really thought in a unique way, seeing and feeling another reality that is a stranger to me. But zombie soul snatchers are not a stranger to me, and his score for the classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1978 convinced me big band instrumentation and jazz piano can too indicate that the end is near if I don't run and hide. - BetZe

Episode 35: Real Book Inspired | Bird Food - 13/8 | Odd Meter Music | Speed Composition

Ep 35: 10-25-19 Finding inspiration in a random page of a Real Book -'Bird Food' in 13/8, by Ornette Coleman. I think he was in another dimension when writing this one... or maybe all of his.. Just could handle the first few bars of this one, actually to be exact; the first 6 bars of section A. Keepin' it ODD, Betzzzzee

Episode 34: Real Book Inspired | Don't Go To Strangers - 13/8 | Speed Composition

Ep 34: 10-23-19 Finding inspiration in a random page of a Real Book 'Don't Go To Strangers' in 13/8, music by Arthur Kent and Dave Mason, Lyric by Redd Evans. Keepin' those writin' muscles busy... Most likely I wouldn't choose this song on purpose, but pretty cool to oddenate. Until the next episode, Keep it ODD, BetZzzzze

Episode 33: Real Book Inspired | The Goodbye Look - 7/8 | Odd Meter Music

Ep 32: 10-22-19 Finding inspiration in a random page of a Real Book - Intro + 1st section of Donald Fagan's 'The Goodbye Look' in 7/8. His vocal phrasing is uniquely odd, so this was an interesting song to oddenate - pretty tricky... Keepin' it ODD - BetZe

Ep 32: 10-19-19 Finding inspiration in a random page of a Real Book - Intro + 1st 3 bars of 'Save Your Love For Me' in 5/4 by Buddy Johnson, as played by Cannonball Adderly and Nancy Wilson.

Ep 31: 10-15-19 Random Page of a Real Book - First 22 Bars of 'Simple Samba' by Jim Hall in 9/8 (3222). 2-5-1 turn-around city here... used as inspiration, not doing a version of it ... and... Apparently this is my Real Real Book - Legal... Shows I haven't opened it in a while.
Keepin' it ODD, BetZe13
