Very niche
This is my children's wind band project that started in 2011. We play in the street and in the church, at festivals and x-mas markets, at school and at our favourite ice cream parlor, for children's lantern runs and for collecting money for social projects - and just for fun:
We play tunes of "all kinds", not always perfect, but with love and respect for the music and the attempt to give our best. The kids actually are 9 to 15 years old, most of them learned their instruments at our school or when they started with the band. The youngest member we ever had was a 5 year old boy who now is 17, playing first trumpet in his school big band. One of my flutists was in my kindergarden group when she was two years old, it is very special for me that we make music together ten years later now. All of them are fun to work with.
Sometimes we get support by grown up players. Cross-generation-music is a big thing.
here's a short live recording from my current project, "Chardon Bleu"
One of my favourite Bechet tunes.
I've just done a quick recording of the new mystery D hole guitar. I also borrowed my wife's melodica.
Nicely done, Jamie! And the melodica playing sounds great as well!
Reminds me that when Dorado came to town, he was playing with Ludovic Beier, who I think is one of the best in the business when it comes to playing accordeon. He was selling a new album of his at the show, which features him on the accordina, a sort of button chromatic melodica. You can hear it for free below on Youtube.
Oh yes, he's amazing!!!! I've seen him play a couple of times. Thanks for the link, I'll get listening to it later
@Jangle_Jamie is the bass your project instrument?
No, that's my old EKO fretless acoustic bass.
That's what I had in mind. But isn't that another sort of Frankenstein instrument (I suppose I could just look up the thread and see for myself...). It all sounds great, I was like damn he's making me feel inadequate lol. The guitar sounds really fantastic.
Messing around at practise a few weeks ago.
