![]() ![]() Their version appears to have been influenced by Ray Charles’ performance on his 1977 album, True To Life, which repurposed the song as a gospel-blues big-band ballad.Įven still decades later, as historian Ted Gioia points out in his book The Jazz Standards, a previously unreleased 1973 recording of “How Long Has This Been Going On?” by Ray Charles had been digitally repurposed for a posthumous release in 2006 on the Hear Music label, a Starbucks-owned distributor that repurposed music CDs as an impulse item. Still decades later, Johnson recorded another version of the tune as a duo with guitarist Joe Pass in 1983, a recording session that was eventually repurposed for a 1988 release. Johnson and Kai Winding first recorded “How Long Has This Been Going On?” during the Decemrecording session for Prestige. Originally written in 1927 by George & Ira Gershwin for the musical Funny Face, a show that saw many rewrites before eventually finding success on Broadway, the song “How Long Has This Been Going On?” had been cut and repurposed the following year for the show Rosalie before also being cut from its film adaptation.ĭecades later as bebop musicians repurposed “vintage” show tunes into complex chamber music, trombonists J.J.

The Doors – Touch Me – Score and charts for horns and strings.The Doors – Touch Me Bandhub collab video.Gary Badger: trumpets, horns transcription.Ynping Mak: violins, strings transcription.James Wilkas: alto, tenor, and baritone saxes, keys, DAW mix, video edit.My sincere thanks to all of my friends for their contributions to this wonderful project. This recording started within the Bandhub platform while it was online, but after a long pause, it was finished offline through the addition of final tracks, a DAW mix, and a custom video. And never mind the synth strings… But now, with the benefit of experience, new software tools at my fingertips, remastered source recordings, and such a talented violinist as a good friend, this transcription and its performance were finally possible. But the entire brass section of the band consisted of me, and my transcription at the time was limited. This song was a crowd favorite when I held the trumpet chair in the rock band Summerhouse during the late 1980s/early 1990s. Very closely aligned to the original recording. So here you find charts for strings (3 violins, 3 cellos) and the horn section (2 trumpets, trombone, alto sax, tenor sax, and baritone sax). Determined to push ahead I was able to decipher all of the horn parts, while my masterfully talented friend Ynping transcribed the strings. So I was amazed that I couldn’t find and purchase charts for this that were even close to matching the original recording. Such an iconic song, bringing luscious strings and horns to The Doors in 1968. ![]()
