Been in a funk for a few days because life has me very much in my head, so that’s why I’m in comfortable attire. The goal was to just accomplish something to disrupt the spiraling thoughts, and this is something from Open Studio Jazz that I wanted to try from their video about Red’s Spreads (the style of playing the melody with octaves and a perfect fifth, popularized by Red Garland)

SN: I wanted to turn the keyboard volume up without making it too loud in the house, so I plugged headphones into the keyboard to mute the outward sound while I recorded with my iRig 2. So I was playing this while barely hearing it from my headphones on the side😅

From June 13 to July 2, 2023, I had the opportunity to play for the Atlanta stage production of The Wiz, which we affectionately called “Lemon Pepper Wiz.” It was the director’s love letter to Atlanta and it was such an amazing experience. This was my first time doing a play and I wanna do more!

This clip features me as I play one of my favorite songs: Meet The Wiz. During this scene, Dorothy and her friends are finally meeting the Wiz in Emerald City. So this song captures how dramatic and powerful the Wiz is believed to be with a bossa nova groove

It was this clip that made me say out loud “I loooove my bass playing!” lol specifically the part where I deviate from the established bass line and do a mini solo. Super proud of my growth as a bass player during this entire process! My goal here was to solo for three measures while complementing the lead singer, which is why I finish it by playing in unison with him. Matching his cadence while staying in tempo was kinda tricky

What you’ll hear is my in-ear mix, which includes the metronome, guide, my music director, and other musical parts. Hope you enjoy!

Also I don’t own rights to this music, but the bass playing is all me lol

I realize that I don’t post myself enough on here so here’s something we did back in late April. They let me solo every once in a while and I actually like this one! Lol

[derricklogan2]

This was the song we would play to let people know that we were starting act 2. I have two versions of this songs that I enjoy but I’m posting this one because I love the Lion’s reaction to the drums lol

I love how this song flowed in and out of keys, starting in C minor, going to E flat minor, back to C minor, and then ending in A minor. Minor chord structures in diminished movements. TedyP is an amazing music producer for this track alone🔥🔥

This song leads into the music for the start of the scene. The audience finally sees the lair of Evillene the Wicked Witch of the West, so the minor chord structures in diminished movements of the song aptly set up the dark feeling of the scene

Sorry for the lens being a little blurry. I forgot to wipe the camera before I started recording. Anyway I hope y’all enjoy!

Yo I killed this.

I mean it ain't perfect, but I had never thought I could do some of the runs I did. I don't remember how long, but it took me at least a few days to get a clean run-through. I was tired, it was getting dark and cold, my fingers were sore from being stretched and pressing down on those hard piano keys that I wasn't used to, but I did it.

This is my rendition of Tye Tribbett’s “Beauty For Ashes.” The phrase “beauty for ashes” comes from Isaiah 61:1-3, which tells of the marvelous works that Christ Jesus came to do. I did this to encourage @intreauxspection and I wanted to encourage you all as well :-)

“Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed                                                          So what if I'm crazy? The best people are...”  

My friends don't walk, they run Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun Popping, popping balloons with guns, getting high off helium We paint white roses red, Each shade from a different person's head This dream, dream is a killer Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar

I'm peeling the skin off my face 'Cause I really hate being safe The normals, they make me afraid The crazies, they make me feel sane

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad, The craziest friend that you've ever had You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong Over the bend, entirely bonkers You like me best when I'm off my rocker Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed So what if I'm crazy? The best people are All the best people are crazy, all the best people are

Where is my prescription? Doctor, doctor please listen My brain is scattered You can be Alice, I'll be the mad hatter.

You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone That's probably the reason that we get along
