This is the old Baptist hymnal tune (Public Domain).... redone in a jazz sort of way.... an extravaganza of guitars.... 6 tracks of them played by me.... piano is by me as well....

everything else is.... you guessed it....BB.

Drums, Bass, Sax, B3.

The guitar is my Modern Tele... on one of the several PU combos.... clean parts at the beginning are POD2.... disto and chords are through my Mesa Studio....

enjoy.

Hi Herb,

I thought this was a very well put together arrangement. I also have to say it's very tastefully performed, too.

Regards,
Noel

Playing the good old hymns as jazz, or as in this case, actually SmoothJazz, is one of my favorite shows or sets.

Good job on this'un, Guitarhacker!

Whoa....that is quite a different interpretation of that song - particularly to someone who remembers using that old hymnal. Wonderful playing and mix.

scott: thanks

janice & bud: you didn't think It would be a traditional sound now did you? Thanks.... gotta shake it up. I went to Argentina several years back and had recorded my first (non-BB) version of this. I played it at several of the churches and outdoor assemblies where we went... they loved it too.

even knowing up front what the song is, your arrangement is so unique I have a hard time hearing the original song in there at all!

I'd have to agree with the general consensus regarding the quality of your arrangement, performance and mixing.
