The Line-Up 11-20-2009 by retronius
1) Right off the bat, I want to note that I'm going with a new embedded player for the show. We'll see if I like this better (SoundCloud while pretty had a limit on uploads that I found a little stifling). Let me know what you think about it.
2) The theme for the show this week was big bands. I mention this at the start of the show but I really want you to understand, I really don't like big bands. They're too confining. It's sort of like a "too many cooks..." scenario. I like when a soloist has the chance to expand and go crazy. It's also part of the reason why some of my friends find my music to be a little confusing. Still, sometimes a big band works and that's what I wanted to do this week.
