"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."
August 12, 2009 | Two Tickets To Paradise; by Coconut and the Duke
Curious video from the creative acoustic forces of "Coconut and The Duke" (AKA Joe Maurer and Lucas Stangl). Taking cues from their "invasive" folk background, the duo reinvents Eddie Money's "Two Tickets To Paradise" ala Django Reinhardt and feature the mandolin. Coconut and The Duke are celebrating the release of their debut album, "In The Bamboo Forests Of Pennsylvania," by starting a Cover Of The Month Club.
