I Though About You (Drum Cover)

10/3/2015

A very nice version of "I Though About You" performed by Eliane Elias. I just love this tune and how this band is swinging. It is so pleasant to play with these musicians:-) Marc Johnson on bass, Eliane Elias on piano and vocals and Steve Cardenas on guitar. The arrangement is very subtle with a nice progression from "2 feel" to "walking" on the melody. The kicks played during the melody give momentum to the interpretation. The difficulty here is to swing at their level, I start with the brushes and I try to lock my Hi-Hat with the feel of my brushes. Then with the sticks, same thing but I tried to stay as relax as I can to make the music feels good and swing with the bass of Marc Johnson. During Eliane' s solo, I play with her  and follow here ideas without over commenting on them. I try to play like it's the first time and the solo is made on the spot. There is a reason why she didn't record the tune with a drummer and I respect that. She did a tribute to Chet Baker and Chet towards the end of career was playing with a drum-less trio. The first time I heard the song, I wanted to play along and now I am very glad to share it with you:-)
Thanks for listening!
