On Friday, March 22 we had the inimitable jazz guitarist/drummer Milo Petersen back for Jazz in The Georgian at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington.
As always playing with Milo is a fun filled trip playing jazz standards and bebop heads. We captured some nice moments on video of three great tunes: Tenor Madness, Soul Eyes, and Half Nelson. Enjoy!
Tenor Madness is jazz blues staple. It's a great uptempo blues tune to play.
Tenor Madness
Soul Eyes is a tune by jazz pianist and composer Mal Waldron. This ballad is a widely recorded jazz standard that is dark and haunting yet beautiful.
Soul Eyes
This last video is a tune called Half Nelson by Miles Davis, which is based upon Ted Dameron's song Lady Bird. Like many bop melodies Half Nelson is a challenging head to play. Milo lays it down and also plays a shout chorus that is a tribute to the original song Lady Bird.
