The embrace of your dance partner. Eyes locked. A smile. The slightest pressure from the hand on your back, urging you closer. Silent Gestures tell the most.

Written to remember the good times with a musician friend. We used to park at the waterfront and drink and listen to good music, and dream about taking over the scene. But mostly drink and listen to good music. ;)

Needs a guitar! Needs a guitar!

Video duration: 297 seconds

A scratch draft on a smooth jazz song I'm working on. I plan to add a guitar part, with a solo in the middle spot. The sax part will be redone and turned up in the mix, but this is the idea of the melody.

Jennie\ Jennie's Tune
Posted by: chrlpolk

Video duration: 118 seconds

This was the first time Jennie had played keyboard. I showed her the notes, we spontaneously created the main riff, then recorded it in one take. (Drums added afterwards.) The piece is obviously not flawlessly performed, but does demonstrate the awesomeness of simplicity and open-minded co-writing.
