Met Gumbi at Anthology in San Diego, prior to the show, I was hoping they would do this song and they did. His solo was AMAZING. AL Dimeola has shown the world not only his speed but he is a MASTER composer. I cannot stop listening to the CD wich you can only get at his gigs. MORE VIEWS world, come on now, you are missing out.
WEPA, GUMBI! Great composition by Al. Gumbi is most deserving. Looking forward to seeing this ensemble at the 21st Annual Berks Jazz Fest this March/ April.
NEED HELP I don't know much about music theory and I want to understand something in that piece. The melody from 0:33 to 0:42 is repeated with a different feeling at 1:30 to 1:38. What has changed? Is there a change in the scale or the chord progression or something? The second time, when it comes back with that different feeling, it's like if the bass was more solid, more sticked to the melody. Whereas the first few times, I can't get to know where it's going to. I'd like to better compose
