Description
Footprints is one of the most famous jazz tunes of all time. Written by the incomparable Wayne Shorter, perhaps the greatest jazz composer of the 20th Century, Footprints is simply a classic and right of passage for jazz players. The tune was written in the mid-60s, when Wayne was huge part of Miles' seminal quintet, and already one of the top Tenor Sax players in the world, and before he left to help form the fusion band Weather Report with Zawinul and Jaco.
Footprints' form is a modal blues, and graciously joining me here are two of the very finest modal players and instrumentalists on SoundCloud - Canada's Michel Martineau on Clarinet https://soundcloud.com/michel-martineau and Norway's Ronny Heimdal on guitar https://soundcloud.com/ronny-heimdal
Michel's most important musical mentor has been Wayne Shorter, so it was only fitting that he be an important part of this recording. Michel has created a beautiful harmony line to complement the head, when doubled with clarinet and a synth trumpet patch, bringing a warm color and his elegant phrasing to the recording. His soloing evokes Wayne's searching, and is simply marvelous.
Ronny's superb guitar playing and musicianship has stood out to me since I first found him here on SoundCloud and asked him to play on my fusion composition Busting Out, which he just tears up. He has impeccable rhythm, an appetite for improvisation and musical excellence, and a complete understanding of jazz-fusion. His music here on SoundCloud is quite electric:), so he toned it down a little here to mix in with the acoustic clarinet, trumpet and piano lines.
I've been looking forward to recording this classic, and we are so very pleased with the music we have here. Please check out both Ronny and Michel's galleries, including Michel's gorgeous 13 compositions he wrote and collaborated with during his previous bout with Colon cancer, one for each of his chemo sessions. They are very sensitive pieces given the difficult to impossible road ahead that Michel was facing at the time, and stand as perhaps the finest collection of pieces and collaboration I have found here.
Michel just learned less than two weeks ago that this most serious Cancer is back, and will have to aggressively fight it again, but has recorded Footprints because of his love of jazz, of Wayne Shorter, and because of how much your positive comments and words of feedback mean to his healing process. While not one of his original 13 compositions, I will always think of this collaboration in a similar fashion, where you hear the beautiful voice and spirit of Michel's clarinet and Ronny's guitar as they reflect on some of the music that has been his most important over time to us.
A true honor for me to perform with these professionals. Enjoy Footprints.
Thanks as always for your time listening, for your comments, for your shares, and now... for your prayers.
