This is an original Jazz composition called Catchphrases

This is a very Psychedelic/odd arrangement of amazing grace heavily Todd Parrott inspired with an Awolnation sample at the end.

I didn't like the jazz composition. Your playing was really good on it, but I didn't like the song. The only jazz that I like is Dixieland jazz.
Amazing Grace was good and I liked it.

The jazz piece was a good exercise but perhaps it's my narrow mind- I like a 3rd position part on a piece like that. A bit more cerebral maybe.

Amazing Grace, very nice!

And Sarge- howdy sir, been a while!

jazz piece...pianist was not quite jazz, not quite blues in the chordal voicings and changes. Your harmonica was playing mostly blues over a not too well defined jazz accompaniment. I didn't think that it matched up too well.

Amazing Grace - nice tone. However, you should pay a bit more attention to the groove/tempo once you establish it. Keep it solid.

You fell out of it here and there a bit.

Ending was too extended. If you want to fall out of tempo and make a statement, be careful of starting this too early and extending it too long.

(That will be one penny, please. Email me offlist for my paypal account number).

@The Iceman the pianist is classicaly trained. Never played jazz or blues before I asked him to play this. Oh and you can forget about the penny. :D
