Description : This one's a bit unusual even for me. I've always loved that really old jazz, but could never get over the terrible sound quality, so I never really explored it much. This track is (somewhat) reminicent or those early tracks. It reminds me of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, hence the title (nothing to do with the Django movie.) It starts and ends with the poor quality simulation even with the record scratching (but not through out the track.) I tried to use a combination of vintage and modern sounds and instruments. I don't expect many to like this, but no need to slam me for it. Some may appreciate it.

Hey Scott! I am a vintage Sinatra style Jazz singer and I really love your sound and would love to Collaborate with you. Also, I was wondering if I could use a sample from your track. I promise I will give you 100% credit

I too have a problem with terrible old sound quality though one of my favourite groups is a 30s/40s gospel group called The Golden Gate Quartet.

Anyway, this is very cool though the quality of the brass starting on 1:14 is a problem.

Drums are great, so's the sax and guitar and violin. Sounds like lots of fun to make.

This could be even better with some improvements in the sounds.

Please check out a live harmonica looper called Son Of Dave as he makes cool modern versions of old music - a bit like what you've done here, except all he uses is his voice and harmonica. He has a few good albums.

Bonjours Scott ....

This concept reminds me of my father's exploits on the violin .... in my young and tender years.
Frankly I found this track very late (Thanks Danke) but I'm not disappointed by what you have achieved.
Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli have rocked my youth .... especially that my father comes, as Django, of a great people of musicians .... that we could appoint "Gypsy" .... (Tzigane in French)
Thank you for sharing this moment of another age .... The effects of sizzling, as an old 78s is successful ....
I am very troubled by what I hear.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Dan. This one has always been a favorite of mine. I started appreciating the real early stuff later in life. When you're young, you may find it a bit corny, but a musically intelligent mind can always hear the genius in early music even going way back to the classical masters. I put the record scratches in for effect, but I wish we could hear the old stuff in the high fidelity of today's technology.

Cheers,
Scott

This confession may date me, but I heard Stephane Grappelli play live at a concert hall in Madison WI decades ago. The hall was not large but it was full. Wonderful effects here, and the Big Band and vocal moments are inventive and wild. I could comment on so many tracks on your page. . . but I chose this one.

No Worries, UChris. I have a few miles on me, too. Glad you appreciate my style. I love the older stuff, but like to give it a modern feel and add lots of drums! I appreciate your comment.

Cheers,
Scott

Description : Do not freak out just because this is jazz! There's also blues, rock, funk and a little hip hop in it to break up the deep, chillout jazz sections - gets particularly rocking then funky at the end. Main bassline (the track's foundation) is recycled leftover slide resonator guitar parts detuned one octave to make a slide bass sound. Also features: piano, violin, hammered dulcimer, organ, ethereal pad guitar, bass guitar, jazz/blues/rock electric guitar and multiple programmed acoustic drumkits. This was difficult to make at times as I thought I needed more leads parts eg from sax or trumpet. But I'm happyish with the end result. I expect very little interest in this as it's both jazz and long jazz. But it's also an unusual type of genre-mixing jazz. So, leave your thoughts, good or bad, if you like...

Description : I think it's a late evening song to accompany you for a single drink.
Jazzy in most of the aspects. It is made single handedly so please consider it an experimentation for the thrill of making music.
Hope you will like it.

Description : This track contains only free loops from Stayonbeat.com and several loops from Looperman artists (listed below). I "made a promise" that my next track will be use a lot of jazzy loops - well, i done with this track, for the great sadness of jazz lovers or experts i think - i fear they will never forgive me. :) While my ISP launches my internet out of the Earth system for a long time, i had to face the fact that i dont have too much downloaded jazz loops on my computer, so i think no wonder that this one is sounds like if i smoke some marihuana while making it. But hey, who cares, i like the result - it reminds me the (maybe only) really funny episode of "Breaking Bad", where Pinkman uses some heroin and flyes up with an idiotic smile on his face - that chapter is priceless. :D
I dont think this one needs a vocal, but ofcourse you can use it if you want, and as always, just write and i will give any support as i can. Any feedback welcomed too as always. Enjoy! UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!

Description : I created a hip hop groove in Logic and decided to duel some Saxophones. I am playing the Baritone sax on the left pan and the Tenor Sax on the right pan.
I added some bells like a boxing match bell to give it a fight drama feel. The hip hop track itself is dope to me. The duel is cool too. Who won?
