Songs For Show With Mark O'Connor & John Patitucci















Next week I begin rehearsals for a run of three nights at the Blue Note with Mark O'Connor and John Patitucci. I am thrilled about the idea of this group and I'm so excited to see what we come up with in the rehearsals, as we haven't played together as a unit before. So my job right now is to write out and arrange any of my songs that I'd like to bring to the table.

Here are my thoughts so far:

1. Motor Minder
2. Ode To Elvin
3. Songlines (new song that I haven't yet finished but might be great for this configuration)
4. Clarity (old version or new?)
5. Greylighting (my new/first fiddle tune!)
6. Move (from the Red Norvo songbook)

This is only my preliminary list but I'll keep working on it. What kind of songs do you think would sound good for violin, bass, and guitar? Please leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!
