Ax.W. Waters of Life 2013 ••• This tune is dedicated to the wonderful music of John Coltrane. His ballad 'Naima' has been the inspiration for the first part of this little piece. The second half is a latin-jazz-improvisation in another time signature - 
all played with a classical Höfner HF-16 guitar in first takes.Now hearable in a new improved audio quality.

"For Ray + African Spirit" The little latin in the first minute of this tune is dedicated to my wonderful father Willi Ray Q. Followed by the groovy drums and exciting voice of my good old friend Werner Büsch (from the amazing 'Music and Art Ensemble') it changes soon into a driving Afro Latin Jazz thing ... Werner Büsch - drums and voice Axel Weiss - guitars : )

"4 F Down Blues" - The first half (some acoustic solo guitar): Just four playing fingers at the left hand available at the moment ... and in a kind of blues mood ... so here is nothing played beautiful or fine ... it's just a basic blues - deep down and not intended for headphones, with a lot of dirty guitar playing mistakes in it : ) Recorded in a first take - three days ago (April 2013) The second half (a bit crying electric guitar + standard loop machine): A simple live impro, rec. at the jazzclub "Unterfahrt" in Munic (Sept. 2009) Maximum volume is recommended (on both parts) . And if you should feel for more of such rustic blues jokes, then I would like to recommend this (my first song on the cloud about three years ago): Ax.W. Blues One vs. loopmachine (solo)
