0824 cover of the last third of Trinity (Snarky Puppy) plus a spontaneous jam

this was an attempt at covering the ending of Trinity by Snarky Puppy (https://youtu.be/CSiLPkUopBg?si=RyPKgGgf5j8Ovy6y&t=331)

That horn line from Trinity infected my brain when I first heard it, and the only cure was learning the whole thing. The looper pedal helped make this section feasible to recreate, and was a major asset in working out the complicated horn line. I used a metronome to make the primary loop, and left that faintly in the mix in the beginning for posterity.

I'm going to definitely try this one again sometime, it could be a lot tighter, and it’s a whole lot of fun to play over. I sort of tried to cover Bill Laurance's solo from the Snarky Puppy recording, but without the modulation effect (and a better handle on his actual solo) it was difficult to recreate. I’ll probably try to do a simpler, more original thing next time.

For the bass part, I did not stick to the established line at all, and sort of meandered all the over place. It was interesting exploring the different notes, as the chord progression skipped around so much, there was a number of ‘wrong’ and ‘right’ notes where I was not expecting. I should still probably learn the actual line for next time.

And then I went into a random jam at the end of it, because that groove has a crazy amount of momentum to it. I like the idea of using tunes like this as a launching pad to go into a completely spontaneous jam, and I might try to do this more often, to explore where the trajectory takes me each time.
