The Girl From Ipanema - Promenade2239

hi Dave!

Thank you so much for listening and a nice review!

Do not worry - I won't lose the connection with the proper rhythm (I just acquired a mechanical metronome ha!) and definitely will go somewhere further with swinging eights for sure in latin styles next days (I have few days exclusively for myself and much space as well as some perspectives on eventual developing subtleties in playing yay!).

I simply need more time to internalize the proper variations of different 'rhythm patterns' in latin styles. I am practising both comping and soloing at the moment (ok, just simple 251 licks and basic pentatonic runs exercises when comping same time lol).

I am practising 16th note funk grooves as well but this is an another story. I am far away to get the proper swing of 16th notes. Those are 2 separated and very different things (I mean latin and funk). I am still struggling with connecting rhythm ideas.

I am happy you liked my track!

hey Ronabo! thanks for nice review. I like your playing too! I simply played everything from the sheet piano arrangement but I also plan to develop an improvisational soloing skills. Lot to learn ahead haha

Glad you enjoyed the song.

Best, Alex

hey Mykael

I'm happy you liked this little recording!

I plan to incorporate more stylistical jazz elements into my playing and will be uploading more stuff like this to looperman - we can always do a collab when the genre is jazz.

Thank you for nice words!

Best to you, Alex

Thank you Ed! I found this song few years ago - it was an old calssic version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJkxFhFRFDA but didn't plan playing any latin piano music then. I always liked that song and the latin grooves. This tune is probably one of the most famous bossa jazz songs, beside of 'Corcovado' 'Aqua de Beber' 'One note samba' and others which I want to learn as well.

I will be recording more jazz standards and want to develop the stylistical playing. Thank you for the nice words and your continous support!
Best to you, Alex

thank a lot for your nice comment! I am glad you liked the piano. there are many styles in jazz - this one is kind of latin jazz. Let's say: the bossa rhythm meets jazz harmonic language. I am still learning all this and will be posting more jazz stuff in the near future.

Thank you cru for a nice review!
I am glad you enjoyed listening to this recording. I had some difficulties with velocities of the virtual instrument but I am happy with the results.
Alex

Thanks a lot for listening and good words! I appreciate that.

thanks for the fave!

Glad you enjoyed it

Hello Joe!

Thank you for such a nice comment!

Surely there is nothing much about Antonio to celebrate at the moment. Honestly I'm just simply playing sheet music here.
It will probably sound strange but there is a need to acquire more 'patterns' under my fingers. This is the only way I can grow musically.

I am glad you enjoyed listening!

Alex

Thanks for checking it out!

It was hard to record a bassline, the comping rhythm and filling harmonies as well as the melody on the top in such a short time in one take using 2 hands only. I like the ease emanating and the final result too. Music is a hard work for me basically.

Thank you for your support!

Hello M

Thanks a lot for your comment! I came across Getz/Gilberto performance about 5 years ago. The the book the arrangement is from is titled 'All Time Jazz Standards' and I intend to play and post the other tunes in different jazz styles as well. I can't record the real acoustic piano so that is why I experiment with it's electric emulations. Casio has weighted keys so I coud find some connections.

Glad you liked the performance.

Alex

hello Ookami

Thanks for such a nice comment! This is a new style I am practising currently. Yes, I was thinking about the loop and playing along it but couldn't find anything corresponding. I didn't play with metronome but still trying to stick with the beat as possible.

Glad you liked the music.

Alex

Thank you for your positive comment.

The rhythm is absolutely hypnotizing to me as well.

thank you for listening and a nice comment.

I spent 4hours on this one. Playing keys is a hard work, what can I say. This is a good start for me into something new.
