Impeccable reharms and interesting jazz counterpoint. So creative and unpredictable are all the twists and turns too. You are a true master Fred Fried! Thank you for posting these arrangements and performances.
Matt- coming from a musician of such depth and artistry as yourself I am truly flattered. Thank you! I look forward to the time when we can get together and make music. I would very much enjoy that. It's become a cliche these day but please be well and stay safe!
“The point is, art never stopped a war and never got anybody a job. That was never its function. Art cannot change events. But it can change people. It can affect people so that they are changed... because people are changed by art - enriched, ennobled, encouraged - they then act in a way that may affect the course of events... by the way they vote, they behave, the way they think.” ― Leonard Bernstein
Beautiful, Fred. Love the way you raise your left eyebrow when glancing at the fingerboard, as if to say, "You'd better produce the right note(s)!"
Thanks, Topper. But sometimes my fingers are not intimidated and say "the hell with you!"
