Empty Pockets - Herbie Hancock

Written by famed jazz pianist Herbie Hancock (who wrote Watermelon Man and Cantaloupe Island), this tune has a thick and fuller texture on the recording as it features two horns. Translating the piano parts into a guitar trio setting required toning the atmosphere down a little.

Darn That Dream - Jimmy Van-Heusen

Once again experimenting with playing at different tempos, Darn That Dream is usually played as a ballad. After a heavily re-harmonised solo guitar introduction, the band kicks in with a medium swing more on the slow and steady side.

Count Every Star - Sammy Gallop

A simple 16-bar form which repeats itself and originally written as a popular song with vocals and lyrics, making this into an instrumental guitar trio version required some imagination in terms of arrangement. Without changing the catchy melody too much, we were able to introduce a constant key change in our arrangement.
