As far back as I can remember I've always had a fondness for the
popular
music of the 20's, 30's and 40's. There was a quality, sophistication and style
about that era of songwriting that you seldom hear today. Because so many of
these songs were recorded time and time again by countless jazz soloists and
vocalists, through the years they became standard repertoire for jazz combos
and dance bands... Therefore the term Standards. The interesting chord
progressions and memorable melody lines of these songs lend themselves well to
solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements. This is my second volume of Standards.
It's my favorite music to play on solo guitar. More information on my music and
playing schedule can be found online at "www.musicby.com".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most of the songs on this recording were made in the Fall of
2004 with a La
Patrie "Presentation" classical guitar through 2 Rode NT3 microphones into a
DAT recorder. "Stars Fell On Alabama" and "Misty" were recorded in 2002 with an
Ovation "Country Artist" nylon string and "Bye Bye Blues" in 2004 with a La
Patrie "Etude" classical.
