Shade

Dating this track precisely is a challenge, but based on the guitar used during the session, it most likely originated around 1985–86. Influence from the Brazilian Bossa Nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim and my studies with Pat Martino can be heard. Though I never performed the piece live, I was fortunate to recover the original recording years later. 25 years later I recorded an arrangement with MIDI and live guitar.
