This is a simple little tune I wrote for the GREAT James Jamerson. Originaly it had a medium motown-ish groove, But I'm trying it in this 2/3 latin feel. I'm thinking of arranging it for the Bobby Sanabria Quartet. It's goes in and out of clave.... it's just a rough arangement. I'm using My Yamaha TRB 5PII. Let me know what you think.

I attempted (very feebly) to re-create how Jamerson recorded thie tune in the studio. The only major difference is that I am 100% sober. However, its incredibly difficult to play like this. I could only do one take because my back and shoulders start to go into spasm. Jamerson was a true master. A true, true master!

This one seems to be the subject of debate about whether Jamerson only used one finger, so hopefully this will dispel some of that nonsense. I've spent a couple of hours trying to understand the 1st part of the original and here's where I got to. I've not cracked it yet but I'm nearly there - I just need to relax more on it. Jamerson makes amazing use of the open strings and grace notes on this.
