Until The Real Thing Comes Along


A jazz tune from a demo project the Jon Raney Trio did for vocalist Audrey Silver.

by Ed Fuqua

Listen:  UntilTheRealThingComesAlong.mp3 (950KB)
Style:  Jazz
Gear:  Mittenwald upright
Two Neumann mics (one on the treble f-hole side about 8 inches away from the bridge, the other about a foot away from the fingerboard on the treble side)

This was a demo project the Jon Raney Trio did for vocalist Audrey Silver. I like the nice relaxed "walking ballad" feel, as it moves forward in a very calm way. We just played two choruses, 1 full vocal chorus for the head in, piano solo for the first A of the second chorus, bass solo for the second A, vocal back in at the bridge and out. The excerpt comes in just after the piano solo, I start the solo with a paraphrase of the melody before moving around a little. Trying to come up with a concise, cohesive statement in 8 bars is a nice challenge (like Hemingway used to say "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter...").

I thought it came out pretty nicely.
