S alutation Vibrations Good Folks of Sound,
No gigs for a bit but the cultivation of new vid singles continues on. For this week we venture into Brian Wilson’s universe.
Jazz invades The Beach Boys!
It’s a great tune with a creative chord progression including modulations and time warps. A perfect vehicle to impart some jazz influences into. Leonard is in his falsetto, Allison sings backups, I’m improvising the body electric, and Tripp’s taking his EWI (electronic wind instrument) on a sonic exploration that roars and finally lands safely into a gentle bossa nova groove.
Unheard of! Only Brian Wilson could have dreamed that one up.
Here’s the band:
Peter Sprague — guitar
Leonard Patton — vocals
Allison Adams Tucker – background vocals
Gunnar Biggs — bass
Duncan Moore — drums
Tripp Sprague — sax, EWI, and piano
Also, semi hot off the press, I’m being inducted into the 2024 San Diego Music Hall of Fame. Super stoke and I guess I’m qualified in that I’m old and I’ve had a good run. I’m honored to be included and the event happens down the road in November. I’ll let you know around then.
Here’s an article about it from the SD Union Tribune paper.
That’s the news for now and all the best, Peter
