Hi fellow seasonistas.
Quite a few weeks have already passed since I hosted this season, so I thought that I might better get on with it and announce the winner.
First of all I want to thank everyone who took part, seasonistas old and new. We had 65 songs on the playlist and there were a lot of good standards, originals and improvisations, so thanks a lot everyone.
I did say that there would be a price, and that price is from ukulele jazz master Lyle Ritz. The winner can chose between either the Jumpin' Jim's Ukulele Masters book or the CD Lyle Ritz plays Jazz Ukulele: How About Uke? and 50th State Jazz... Your choice...
Well, there can only be one winner and I decided to award the honours to the one seasonista who "jazzed up the standards" the most.... and the winner is Mark C for his solo ukulele chord melody version of Stardust. Well done Mark and congratulations!
You can revisit Mark's performance here:
Mark, please contact me and let me know your choice and your postal address.
Nb. I haven't been able to take part in anything for the last few weeks... I have been hit by a LOT of Jazz Guitar lessons and therefore a lot of guitar practice... Anyway the end result should show both on my guitar and ukulele playing as well. That is my hope after putting all this effort in.
All the best and keep uke'ing.
Mads
