Mercy Mercy Mercy
This is a tune I’ve done before. Something about it is very compelling, in spite of its simplicity. Written by Joe Zawinul when he was with Cannonball Adderley, the song cracked the top forty twice in 1967 — going to #11 with Adderley’s group in February of that year and with added lyrics, to #5 in August by the Buckinghams.
My arrangement is for my standard guitar, piano, bass and drums quartet.

Spring Break 2012
Since there are no classes this week due to Spring Break, I thought I’d write/record a new tune to honor that week off. It’s a jazz/rock/fusion quartet with guitar, piano, bass and drums.
