I love it WADE! THIS is one of the elements that I ALWAYS look for but most of the time I don't find. UNPREDICTABILITY. And this has it.

Hey, if I can't play well, may as well play differently! Thanks Kenny. So good to have you around again.

This track needs more listening to be fully understood. Your clever game and dissonances give the dynamics needed and it was not easy because the guitar did not offer great variations and so the work is entirely on your sax but in this, Wade, your mastery is well known. i like very much your flow.

Thanks Stef for the listen and comment. Not sure if it's a good idea to be a musical enigma. Yes, I guess it's fairly dissonant. Not much to understand as there's nothing planned just a jam on a repeated strange phrase that dictated a rather dark mood.

Hey Will! Going to be seeing you very soon! Walsh river where Chris lives is a remote bit of the Australian "outback". The river makes living there possible. Chris is a semi-scientific grower who has been crossing many generations of your favorite herb. This music is part of the result. He's your kind of guy!

Yes Wade, I'm also looking forward to see you soon. Seems that you have ordered warm and shiny weather to go out for swimming.

Thanks Nils. Have been in touch with eGil about the possibility of a jam in Oslo. You up for it?

How about either the 9th or 10th of September? That's a Saturday and Sunday when I'll be around. No pressure...if it can't happen then it's OK.

Saturday is probably better. Can you check with eGil to see if that's OK with him as well? Anyone else who you'd like to invite?

Thanks Frankie. I think he's playing a borrowed phrase from John McLaughlin. Doesn't go anywhere, but it's thankfully a short piece.

It's been a few years we've played together , but not often. Maybe 3 to 4 times a year for the last 8 years. As a sax player I'm dependent on someone else who is carrying the chordal structure and rhythm. So one listens very carefully and I watch their hands/fingers for clues. You get so that you know their style and chord choices after a while so that there's a fit. I spent a few years dong a "once a week" open mike night as part of a backing group, so got used to listening carefully and fitting in with whatever anyone would come in and play/sing. Ears plus watching hands of bass, guitar or keys gives me most of the clues I need.

I can relate to everything you describe here. Back in the day when not working with a rehearsed group I would get calls to 'fill-in' as lead guitar. Most of the time I did not know their material and had to watch the bass man or rhythm guitar for keys and such. And thank goodness for the numbers system :)
I miss those days. Challenging and fun :) +1

Cheers Lenny. Wish I could be doing some stuff that you could join in on, but I'm afraid that the rhythms in this (and others) are too unpredictable (crappy).
