Play UBass!

This is my version of the Charles Mingus classic ”Nostalgia in Times Square”. Quite a few years back I wrote some lyrics for the song. This is the second time it’s performed! For my solo I’m doing some vocal scat along with my Kala UBass.
I get really good help from my friends and co-workers at a High School (with a music program) in Örebro
Eva Stenström – vocals, Daniel Björnmo, guitar and Mats Nyström, drums.

This night we play as a support act for Sinne Eeg Quartet (se previous post).

Inspired by a great concert the other night [Sinne Eeg Quartet @ Orebro Jazz Club] I decided to do a quick jam when I got back home! (I played in the ”opening act” with Eva Stenstrom Band. I might upload some clips from that concert here soon since it also featured my Ubass!)

So here’s a few choruses of jazz blues for ya!

I have a project with a couple of friends. It’s called ”Barnjazz – jazz för barn” (and it’s jazz for children not jazz on a barn 😉 We play famous swedish children songs in ”jazzier” versions!

The clip below is from one of our shows. It’s two songs ”Bonka bonka” by the group Electric Banana Band and ”Kalles klätterträd” by Jojje Wadenius. Both songs feature the UBass!

I decided to do a ”studio jam”. I started with some loops from Logic Pro and added a couple of Ubasses ”on-top-of” the percussion loops!

My good friend (and co-worker at a music high school in Sweden) Christoffer Wadensten [ www.meadows.se ] and I did the first jam! Another friend (and co-worker), Marcus Måttgård [ http://www.youtube.com/user/MarQTwang ] filmed it using my iPhone 4! The UBass sounds really great. And it’s recorded with just the built-in iPhone 4 mic!!!
