Description : This is a blend of traditional and acid jazz including some trumpet rides reminiscent to later Miles Davis styles. I'd like to welcome a good friend and GREAT pianist, Damian Volstock, who I did studio work with in Alabama, many moons ago. If you're a jazz fan, give this one a spin.

I dont know about any of you guys. But jazz always sounds like pure improv to me. It's got just something special about it that sepereates it from other genres. Ohh well. Loved this track and the vintage type sound the mixing gave it sounds really good ! God I love how it drops into the funkieness around 1:40 for a few seconds :) this is awesome. Dam after 3:24 it gets even more funky !! Love the melody . you could almost make this section another song all together !

Hi Livingsoulsdie,

Yes, some jazz styles have a lot of improvisation. Some are a bit more structured other than the lead rides, but I digress.

Anyway, really glad you like it and took time to comment.

Cheers,
Scott

This made me smile so much I had to give it another play. I don't usually listen to jazz either! Fantastic stuff.

Good for you, my friend. So glad you like it enough to give it another spin. I always like to put a little something extra in my jazz tracks so that listeners of other genres can find something they like.

Cheers,
Scott

Bravo Scott.....I'm really enjoying this jazzy adventure of yours. So many interesting and lively elements in this track which is truly a successful mixture of classical jazz and acid jazzz. Good choice of instruments forming broad spectrum from naughty sax sounds to great piano soloing!
Nice trumpets as well and some excellent drumming. Several transitions are also very clever and effective! Faved!!

Biggest compliments_____Orlando

Sweet Sweet Jazz.....Perfect compliment to my glass of Cidre de glace this evening, enchanting, acidic and bubbly yet refined. Am I describing music or a riesling? Damn fine listening in these old Bose speakers tonight. Great work guys!

Great stuff Scott (as usual)

The contrabass and the piano work are outstanding...don't forget about the drums of course...:-)
Who played that piano?

Handshake, Danke

ScottB55 replied 29th Aug 2015 - 9 years ago
Thanks allot, Danke. Great to read your kind words.

The piano is done by a guy I met online. His name is Damian Volstock, a retired pro. I hope to get him back on a future track.

Woowwwwwooooww.....this is some really gooooood stuffffff. I hear this being played live at an outdoor jazz festivals (in my head). I love the horn...it's all in the pocket. This is without a doubt the best jazz offering ever on Looperman. Thank you for the awesome download!!!

Love & Light,

Impressive beginning and it only got better when the bass kicked in. I listened to this a few times and "wow!" just keeps popping into my thoughts! Loved the muted trumpet, the trumpet player in my old band would use his from time to time, it always made me smile. Are these real musicians playing bass, horns, flute? It doesn't sound like plugins to me. You have some talented friends my talented friend!

Top notch, one of the best jazz songs I've heard on the site. Great song Scott, keys were sweet all the way through and a nice variety. Always a pleasure!

Description : I first discovered the iconic singer Ella Fitzgerald through my parents, my mother who was a renowned vocalist herself had a deep appreciation for the music of legendary artists. I was too young but captivated by the soulful jazz melodies that filled our home on lazy Sunday afternoons. "Summertime" Exudes a timeless touch of elegance it has a special place in my heart.

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 : 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?

Description : I wrote this track about two years ago. I remember at the time I wrote it I was having conversations with BofD and Mark about oddball time signatures so,
I played all the instruments in different time signatures from time to time 3/4 4/4 5,6 &7/8 etc. I wanted this track to be a track where time sigs went to die.
