Tim's solo album "MandAlone" is a collection of his original solo arrangements for the mandolin.
The eclectic repertoire includes three Beatles songs, three Brazilian choros, three film/TV themes and one Charlie Parker tune.
Connell’s arrangements showcase his comprehensive musicianship and tonally unique approach to the mandolin. The arrangements feature complex jazz chords, walking bass lines and a broad palette of dynamic effects supporting the melodies.
Also available at Connell's online school, Tim's Mando Lessons:
- A full book of sheet music for all arrangements
- Video demonstrations of all songs
- Individual video lesson for each section of every song
