Some Takes On The Blues
Benjamin Bierman
About this work:
Some Takes On the Blues is just me at home having some fun with the blues. I overdubbed a number of mouth-percussion parts, laid several trumpet tracks, and even threw in some of my blues guitar playing. For good measure, my son, Manny, joined in on udu during the trumpet solo. Take a listen – it’s kind of a kick! It was created to be performed by CD playback.
