Candy Yamhill

Candy Yamhill is a jazz ballad with a bit of an electronic twist. It’s composed somewhat like hip hop. There are four samples taken from vinyl records. The drums are a combination of one of the samples, mixed with live playing, and programmed drums. I’m playing a Rhodes piano, an acoustic piano, and synths (which represent the vibraphone, bass, and obvious electronic sounds). And I have an improvised solo. Lol.  

This is one of my neighbors’ porches in the night.

      I suppose it is a bit of a “spiritual”. Thanks.

    Very nice groove! The photos are perfect! The piece has a very evening sunset-into moonrise-into waking of the stars feeling. Thanks for sharing it here!
