Fran Merante Tower of Power "Pocket Full of Soul" Posted by: funky2714
Video duration: 292 seconds This is another tune from the David Garibaldi play along book "Code of Funk". Great tune from the TOP cd "Oakland Zone". I put a partial metric modulation in the breakdown section. Probably should have been played more "straight" given the feel and context of the tune but it never hurts to try new things. I'm still trying to decide if it works or not. Your opinions are appreciated. Related: code, dave, drum, drummer, funk, garibaldi, of, power, soul, tower |

Fran Merante -Steve Cioppa- Dave Weckl "Big B" Posted by: funky2714
Video duration: 394 seconds This is a tune off of the Dave Weckl "In Session" Play along package. My good friend Steve Cioppa and I recorded this about a year ago.

Fran Merante With Styrocultural Antidote Posted by: funky2714
Video duration: 452 seconds This is a trio led by Ronnie Neuhauser (www.nocheez.com). The band features Ronnie's playing and compositions. This tune is titled "Schizo Goes the Weasel" Weasel because the bass line has shades of "Pop Goes the Weasel" and Schizo because Ron wanted me to superimpose modulations and various groove styles and phrases played loosely over the bass line. Enjoy!! Related: antidote, colaiuta, dave, drums, guitar, metric, modulation, neuhauser, ron, schizo, smith, steve, styrocultural, vinnie, weckl, zappa |
