Your kind words mean so much to me. I am not the most techinical, I am not the best sight reader, but my soul somes from the people, the ones on the bottom who thinks no one loves them, and those on the top who have so much money but are lonely.

I love your sound, I would be honorded to play on stage with you.

your friend always,

I pray that you live forever and I should never die,

Leo

I only have four compositions all done in the '79 to 1989 and went from a dark to a happier time of my life. In that time I was still studying and training my ears so I am not a composer. But what came out was not like any structure , maybe one of them was like a modal swing. One a backbeat 'work song' blues which I expanded to 8 pieces but the leader of the 8 piece group I was in did not want try it. Wynton Marsalis' father wrote a tune on the album 'Fathers and Sons' called 'A Joy Forever' and its changes are exactly like 'Dolphin Dance' but has a different ending. It is a nice tune and even in the same key.When Bird did 'Ornithology' etc. they completely transformed those swing tunes. Of course we all deal with the same system in music, 'Breezin' and One Drop(Bob Marley) are both I-vi-ii-V7 progressions but sound completely different. What makes your track (and I was listening while writing the comment) was the superb playing. I was really impressed! So keep the music going- kevin

At 12:01am on December 6, 2008, Kevin Hurst, Sr. said…: Hey Amanda I rehearsed with a friend and he wrote a tribute to a brother musician who passed away last year and he asked if it reminded me of another song. It reminded me of many songs but he had so much harmony in his lines and is very nice and a fitting tribute to a drummer. He would have liked the movements, and I thought of you. The previous comment was a compliment and not intended to say you did not work but your playing is excellent!- kevin

At 10:31am on November 19, 2008, Kevin Hurst, Sr. said…: Nice alto and acoustic jazz! Rollin' on that first track, mellow the 2nd she is good and the group plays like one- together!- kevin-Oh the last one- nice drone on the vamp sounded like McCoy Tyner then like the tune 'Invitation' but went elsewhere, I like it- kevin

Thanks so much for stopping by my page and for your encouraging comments. Our band has its first performance of the 2008-2009 season this Saturday. I've got a couple of alto solos and am looking forward to it.

Please keep in touch!

Best wishes,

Mikayla
