The Art of Collaboration: DOCUMENTING A LIVE PERFORMACE
Live Collaboration with Dave Nachmanoff
Together, I and Dave Nachmanoff, a talented guitarist who performs with legendary artist Al Stewart, shared a memorable house concert. In the video, you can see Mike Lindauer on bass (on the left), Dave Nachmanoff in the middle, and myself wearing a black and white shirt on the right. We were playing Thing Of Beauty, capturing the essence of live collaborative music.
While the video could have offered more, with a promising refrain left untold, we aim to deliver a holistic experience nonetheless. Any constructive criticism is welcome, and it doesn't hurt to acknowledge that we did take a slight misstep in the Dm portion. Enjoy whether you find it impressive or prefer to critique further.
Improvisation and Creative Freedom
Here, we delve into the world of improvisation. The video is a showcase of my talent in playing a generic backing track in Dm, highlighting the versatility and spontaneity of music. Despite potential criticism, the heart of live performance is expressed openly, complete with a minor miscalculation. Let us know what you think!
