Gig-Ready list

[thesoundsmith]

I play piano 4 nights a week using these tracks, bass and drums only. Here are several arrangements for tunes I call Gig-Ready: they don't look pretty, necessarily, but they have intros and/or endings, and after the first set-up pass to establish style, tempo and number of iterations, can be performed with a single click. I do NOT use the piano track, so while the chords are what I tend to play, they may not sound right with the piano track added in. It should be fine, but I can't promise anything.

All The Way Live: Medium Swing 90, 1X
4 bar intro, plays through 2x - just a simple approach

Cold Duck Time: subject to change style when Pop is released- even 8 140, 1X
8 bar (7+1) 1-chord build-up intro breaks to head - each pass breaks last 2 bars. Currently set to loop thru 10 x, then a 5x ending release to cut off end

Desafinado: Bossa 142, 1X
F-Eb intro loop, full song 2x to F Eb loop 12x for end.

Fool On The Hill: Brazil 66 sort-of, Bossa 156 1X
In C - CMA7-C6 intro, song 6x then hook repeat 4x to CMA7-C6 8bars out.

Here's That Rainy Day; Latin 122, 1x
intro and outro vamp, song 4x - replace intro with your favorite variation

One Note Samba: bossa 160 1x, song 3x plus tag 2x

Stolen moments: med swing 94 1x
a little tricky - trying to get the Oliver Nelson feel, may be a little closer to Ozzy Nelson...4 bar intro, head 2x, blues solo choruses set for 4x, then back to top through head 1X out.

Work Song: med up swing 138 1x
another head with breaks - head 2x, blues solos set for 6x, head out

And that's it! As I said, these are for solo gigs, where the piano track is not used. When the new Styles are released, these may change, but for now, enjoy! (And feel free to replace the changes with your own favorites...) Anyone who has similar live performance-ready edits, please feel free to post.
