“Wichita Lineman”

I’ve been playing around with Jimmy Webb’s “Wichita Lineman” and came across a version by Alan Pascua. It struck me as a particularly fine example of the sort of arranging/reimagining/improvising we all might dream of doing. Lots of interesting ideas here. In addition to the tune, I’ve included a YouTube link to one of his trio albums, Milagro. Enjoy! :musical_keyboard:

Keyboardist Alan Pasqua is an adept performer and educator, with a bent toward sophisticated post-bop jazz. Along with his own jazz trio recordings, Pasqua’s gritty organ riffs and synth textures can be heard on hits by Eddie Money and Giant. He’s also done sides with The Tony Williams Lifetime, Bob Dylan, Carlos Santana, Rick Springfield, Pat Benatar, and Sammy Hagar, among others.
