Beautiful Day For The Blues

Just had to blog this~ rite now the sky overhead is just simply beautiful~ clear rich blue sky with fluffy white cumulus clouds~ beautiful~


Also, just an observation.. i've noticed dat all the David Sanborn blues songs dat i've heard all have one very similar pattern.

This is especially evident in Georgia On My Mind and Since I Fell For You. Similar pattern~ There's alot of plot turning points dat kinda thing~ from melancholy, it becomes like hey i'm a new person again dat sorta feeling~ I

In 'Georgia On My Mind', the B3 gospel kinda organ is very vital in creating such an effect~ Drums sets a simple triplet groove and the bass follows suit. There's also a violin and brass section in the background. The violins giving long tones dat serve to backup the organ and bass. The brass section comes in at the end part where there's alot of happy afterblues emotion with its staccato bursts. Electric guitar is heard in the background also.

In blues, all the supporting characters complement the protagonist instrument, not antagonize it~
