I'm doing a Gimme Shelter duet with Chris Rockheart. It's a bit of a statement on COVID. And Chris has just got COVID, which is ironic. I'm not vaccinated and take my vitamin D and E with Zinc, and it has worked fine so far. Yeah, Hendrix and Cream would be good. I could do Cream's "I'm So Glad" and maybe make it into "I'm So Vlad." haha I'm also doing jazz and loving the minor II-V-I progression. Jazz is so un-rock and is always aware of the chords that underpin the solo or melody. Rock is just pure expression almost oblivious to the music underneath. I think Joe Pass jazz is a style onto himself -- a nonstop eighth note barrage of up and down, up and down, up and down. It's like a ride at Disneyland. I like it but not that much to really pursue it. I have this image of a Gypsy guitar player, like the friend of the CAT in the series T.H.E. CAT from the 60s with Robert Loggia. The gypsy plays jazz but not in the conventional Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Wes Montgomery style. I'm thinking of a hybrid of long on-the-spot lines, colourful, depressing lines, and then a return to the more familiar. Art is about expectations and if you don't give the audience what they want... the road more travel... you can get away with it to a point. But returning to something familiar is about being gracious and respectful and will make the audience take the trip again. Because they know you will return them to a safe harbor. Anyway, I'm cooking something up. And putting out some older pieces of me screwing around with technology.
