The Full Sutton Jive

It never, ever will get old. Will it?

The Sutton Jive. FULL!

I honestly have no idea of what "the sutton jive" is, (or I forgot it *) but I like very much what you play. No, this doesn't get old, it's full of youthful energy and wit! Oh my what is that noise? That sounds scary. Don't tell me you played that in the eye of a tornado...:-S I mean, I know you are capable of doing something like that... but it might be a bit dangerous...


Bravo!

* Yes obviously I had forgotten the title and also the history of the youthful commentator Sutton. I love this full version! I listened to it like it were the first time (because I didn't remember) and it was now even more convincing to me.

I too have never heard of the sutton jive, but this really does make your mind wonder, up and down and very skillful playing. Thanks for posting

Thanks very much, Chopinatic and Wolfi! Yes, Wolfi it is the young commentator at the end for which this is named. I originally posted half of it here:

There is also my 7 year old cousin, Sutton, who is heard talking to me at the end. I name this for him. The original recording was about 18 minutes long. The first half was heavily effected with noise, so you get the latter half.

This recording brings up an interesting point about the progression of ideas through recordings. I've used many of these ideas before and after this recording, but knowing what I did at first, what I did then, and what I did in the most recent use, there is a noted advancement of the use of the language. It's a neat phenomenon in the combination of improvisation and recording.
