Bilbo's 'all originals' jazz band 'trio East'

[Bilbo]

Here are four of my own tunes peformed by my trio [b][i]trio[/i] East [/b]featuring Myke Clifford on sax and Russ Morgan on drums. Not perfectly executed (sax player was reading) but a useful indication of the direction of travel of my embryonic composing!!

I didn't really get on with 'Can't You Hear The Thunder', but that's not surprising because I don't really like jazz, so l can only assume that the other three tunes weren't jazz because I really enjoyed them. In fact, I'm listening to Low Men Dancing (for the third time) as I write this. Dammit.

My wife blames you, Bilbo, for the Jazz stuff I keep listening to!

Lovin' the bass and drums.

They all sound pretty much faultless to me, Bilbo. I know you mention in the track notes that the execution isn't perfect, but I certainly didn't notice any bloopers (although my ears aren't so well trained).

Really tight outfit you've got here; great playing all round. Love the bass - of course! - and a nicely rich tone too. Production-wise they sound great. Played loud it's as though you're performing in the same room.

Really dig the bass solo in Low Men Dancing, which is probably my favourite of the bunch. Likewise you play a nice run towards the end of Caustic.

Very nice work.

Someone heard one of these tracks yesterday and said it sounds like.......

Sonny Rollins.

It doesn't, of course, but, hell, I'll take it
