Today was the first time that I played with Clint Crisher. Clint's a guy who's trying to string together a funk band for a label showcase out in LA, with the possibility of a European tour a bit later on. Clint and his manager (J. Michael) had sent me a copy of his demo a few days ago. I had been working on the songs for a few days; they are a very retro-funk style (think early 80's semi-disco with a little more of a funky beat to it).
When I got there, I was the only musician playing. Clint and J and I talked for a while, and then I started to play. This is the first audition I have ever had where I played along to a demo CD. There were no other musicians around, and this style of music doesn't really lend itself well to a stand alone player. I suppose this was the best way to handle the situation, but it was still a bit odd.
We went over the four songs, working through the parts one at a time. Clint and I talked about what he wanted for each tune, and I then I did my best to deliver. It was fun, though. I do enjoy playing funk; that's always fun.
