Q: hi! i was wondering if you could speak to the way that you used synths in the background of in a mellow tone? specifically, how/if you constructed them to support the melodic line? thank you so much
A: i sight read the changes out of the realbook. i actually didn't know the melody when i played the chords. that's why it's all whole notes, and the most plain voicings, to be safe. almost all the earlier jazz recordings from 2012/13 were a sight reading exercise.
