Description : I'm going way back with this jazz jewel. The original version was released by Little Willie John in 1956, but the best known version, by Peggy Lee, was done in 1958 and covered by numerous artists. You older cats will definitely remember it. The singer didn't pan out, so if anyone would like to add vocals to replace brass, let me know. Hope you like.

That opener is sublime. The dynamics are tasty. Another great track!

absolutely remember the Peggy Lee version...classic in every way...gotta have that standup bass for sure....I think Easy Evil would be my all time Peggy Lee fav (had in on vinyl)...but I actually liked the version of it John Kay did in the 80 even better...great job Scott...I appreciate that you kept the mix quite minimal with just the synth strings adding a bit of air in the background...Iguess there wouldn`t be many singers that could do that soulful style that Peggy did but it sounds good as an instrumental....enjoyed this one man....Ed

Thanks allot, Ed. Glad you like it. This and 'Pass me by' are my two favorites, but don't really listen to her much. It was one my mom liked, so thought I'd give it a go. Will have to check out 'Easy Evil,' though.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks allot, MS. Glad you like it. Shelly Mann did a great drum track with one of her versions, so was inspired by his style. He played his toms with his hands. It's on youtube if you want to check it out.

Cheers,
Scott

A great song and a very nice cover. I had to go fetch my fedora and a scotch and soda so I could feel badass whilst I listened to it. I probably didn't look like a badass, but I felt like one. So thanks for that!

LOL...Yeah, getting a little buzz may help it sound better!

Anyway, glad you like it and took time to leave your kind words. Enjoy your scotch.

Cheers,
Scott

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.

I just put together some old ideas to see if it will work. Some vocals and brass, or guitars is clearly needed. Let me know what you think about it. Tnx

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.
