Highlights from the show

Retrosonik, lead by Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith & Carlos Cuevas created Retrosonik last year in NYC, and have a full length studio album coming out soon. I’m proud to be a part of the west coast band featured here in this video, including Rebecca Jade and Korey Kingston Horn.

Shawn Rohlf Band performs a whole entire album: The Replacements “Tim”
A particularly rockin’ installment of Shawn’s whole-entire-album series (unofficial title). Here’s my favorite song off the album, Swingin’ Party.

Shawn Rohlf Band performs a whole entire album: Wilco “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”
Special thanks to Chris Hoffee & Steve Peavey, Shawn’s rendition of Wilco’s album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot came surprisingly close in atmosphere to the original. I say “surprisingly” because we didn’t expect to pull off recreating so many of the unusual timbres that were used. Obviously, an exact match would be unattainable, since the original album

WAVE – Ahmad Jamal version
Ahmad Jamal’s “Awakening” remains one of my all-time favorite albums. I have always appreciated his imaginative reinvention of this tune. My intention here was to fit Jamal’s interpretation onto a one-page, easy-to-read leadsheet.

LINED WITH A GROOVE – Ray Brown
Transcribed from Ray Brown’s “Walk On” album- his last live trio date, January 2000, featuring Geoffrey Keezer and Karriem Riggins.
-
DARK TURN OF MIND – Gillian Welch / David Rawlings
A rather haunting song I thought would make a nice instrumental jazz slow waltz.
-
WITHOUT A SONG – Joe Henderson reharm
Great jazz standard by Vincent Youmans. Reharmonized by Joe Henderson for his 1967 album the Kicker. Another fantastic version appears on his 1996 Big Band album.

CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT – Wayne Shorter
I pulled this off of the Art Blakey album Mosaic, after realizing just how inaccurate the Jazz LTD chart is & how weird it sounds in C minor rather than the original B minor. In the interest of space, I didn’t include the intro / bass ostinato. I wanted this chart to show the entire

NBC SoundDiego – Joe Garrison’s Night People @ The Loft
“Composer Joe Garrison is something of an underground San Diego phenomenon, perhaps heading towards acknowledgement as a legendary one…”
– Robert Bush, SoundDiego, Nov 2013

THREE WISHES – Herbie Hancock
From the Donald Byrd album Free Form, featuring Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Butch Warren and Billy Higgins. I’m not positive this is a Herbie Hancock tune – it may well have been written by Donald Byrd, or Wayne Shorter, or some other genius.
