First song recorded for this project. A quite traditional
chacarera
, respecting not just the customary
chacarera rhythm, but also it's structure and parts: introduction, verse,
chorus.
The "bombo" pattern isplayed with a muted electric bass. The solo
over the coda's vamp
features one of my accidental discoveries: my 4 string Riverhead
with "floppy strings"...

Recorded Tracks :
Michael Kelly Dragonfly solo performance @ The Pleasure Dome Paris
December 4th 2006.
A heart felt tribute to the late great
Michael Brecker. This song was inspired by his battle with leukaemia,
and a comment I heard that he was probably going to pass
away quite soon.
After listening again to one of his (so many) great solos, I confirmed that the
over used cliché "a great artist never dies, he lives in his art and legacy"
was absolutely true. When I composed and recorded this track Brecker
was still fighting and this was a melancholic yet hopeful thought
about him.
Eventually he passed away much too young a month after this track's
recording.
