If you have time take a listen and give Planetjazzbass some feedback.
Thanks Mizz Muzic (or is that Mizzuz Muzic..don't answer that! lol)...Guys like me that mainly play instrumentals spend a disproportional amount of time cursing their complete lack of vocal skills and seek convoluted ways of addressing this shortcoming.......it's true! haha..appreciate the listen! cheers Dave
This tune sounds so familiar, couldn't tell you why though. Maybe b/c its been floating around on the loop as long as it has (I'm sure this spawned a few mixes or extension collabs). The groove of this takes me back to 80s detective shows (or 70s flicks). And though the primary focus was the bass & horns here I'm actually digging some of the other stuff that went behind this (like the flutes & chimes or SFX). Really adds to the atmos (takes it in a completely different direction from the main IMO). Nicely done mate. Lates!
Hey Donnie..thanks mate!you know it's interesting,I think I spend more time sometimes looking for the right little Fax and syn th transient than I do on the main thrust of the project...haha,getting bogged down minutia always happens to obsessive compulsives!...thanks again mate..cheers Dave :)
I don't know..but I'd give just about anything to play with the dude (though I heard he was a little dictatorial,but hey he's(was) a legend and still is!lol)..cheers mate :)
Oh boy, I certainly did enjoy my ride on the carpet! I'm so glad to have had the time to listen to the music of such a talented artist as yourself!
Fantastic arrangement and expert playing (I read that you play the music, not looped). A stunning piece of work Sir. I look forward to listening to more.
I've seen You around the site quite a bit, but never had listened to anything of yours yet. So when this was featured I hopped on it. really like it. gonna check out the rest of your catalog. nice to chill out to,thanks.
Hey mate sorry for the late reply....you know I actually like this one myself! lol..hehe..you know how it is,some tracks you do but on reflection don't stay with you...this one did..cheers buddy Dave :)
oh man this is just too kewl - great work- yer one talented musician - or is this a team of folks? LOL - great bass sound and playing - also dont know if you built this around any loops or if all live playing - but either way is amazing!!
Hi mate..glad you could drop by and take a spin on the Magic Carpet..yep this track is 100% live playing..Synths/Electric Bass/Drum programming/Arrangement by moi..Horns/Flute/Clarinet SlapJohnston...I never use loops either, that is unless I've made them myself!lol...cheers buddy Dave :)
I absolutely love the atmosphere of this track. Makes me want to get up and dance, haha. The horns give it an almost 1950's feel at first. The whole mix honestly sounds like it was done in a recording studio and I think it sounds great overall :)
This is a great mix... Really like all the great sounds that you've put into it... Now I understand why your name is planetjazzbass, sounds great keep up the good work!
thats some serious bass and sax going on there, awesome!!! love the percusion too.. You really do feel lilke you're on a funky magical ride listening to this track, love it. cant say much else that hasnt already been said.
this is indeed a fun piece. the drums are divine and the horns so sublime! i have no idea how you manage to paint such a clear picture of this ride in my head. slap's line ever present like the miniature landscape whizzing by below. oooh...and the flute like a playful butterfly flying beside waving 'hi'...so much to see on this magic carpet ride. i want to fly again and again.
i have much to learn from you. uber kudos and cheers for the ride!
Thank you..I've got to say being able to collaborate with Slap is one of the great pleasures I've come to enjoy on Looperman....meeting people and grooving with them artistically is so......civilized...I love it!..cheers planet :)
I knew this was going to be cool from the get go with the percussion groove, then bass, sax, building into pure magic. You and Slap can't go wrong. A tight jam indeed, very cool man. Love the new avatar too. Cheers!
Hey man at first I didn't recognise your new moniker...thanks for a great review!I'm glad you enjoyed the ride..I'll be over to check your page very soon ..cheers mate :)
OMG! WHAT A GREAT COLLA GROUP! PLANT AND SLAP KILLIN THE JAZZY FUNK! I LUV IT GUYS GREAT WORK AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE BOTH OF YOU FOR AL THE GREAT LOOPS AND RYTHUMS! TRUE ARTISTS YOU TWO AREW! MAD RESPECT TO THE BOTH OF YOU!
It's always nice when you've sort of seen someone around the site, online sometimes, mentioned in posts, so you know they're gonna be good. And then you eventually click play on one of their tracks - ah, refreshing. Very cool, this planet of jazz bass. Definitely diggin. I've gotta turn a couple of my friends onto you, they're gonna love this. Jazz man!
Excellent brass and wind work. The brass sounds real, what's the deal? Is it true/
Thanks Cali for a great review..Oh yeah those horns are realer than real..played by none other than our very own SlapJohnston,the guy's a miracle worker,he plays like stepping off the curb,never heard a style he couldn't play..cheers mate planet :)
Very nice track!
That bass playing is incredible and the arrangements are great,very professional.Think I'm already addicted to that tune.
Thanks for the ride
goes without saying that the bass & horns are awesome and very well arranged and done with quite the finesse. but you really fill the track out with the ambient sounds in the background that arise, as well as the curious sounds that accompany as accents. the beginning and end are awesome too I forgot to mention.
that breakdown around 1:50 is soooo dope too. great percussion. awesome production. 10/10.
ah this is just what the doctor ordered. you have done a great thing here! love the birds and what you've done with slaps horn. great slide on that fat jazz bass!
ever humble,
neil
dude, this reminded me so much of jaco and WR but seen through an almost ambient/Material kaleidoscope, man a friend of mine had a real nice one when we were little kids..Slap Johnson sounds great, beautiful tone...wish we could jam in the same room together :)...amazing work man..
thanks for sharing your artistry!
WOW, PJB U DA MAN!!! Very infectious grooves going on here. And I really dug how you've incorporated/sustained the notes during the changes in order for the listener to hear and feel the full ambiance and harmonization of the instrument. Not to mention your sound and voicing are indeed quite extraordinary. As always with Slap doing his thing, this makes the track an all around top flight production. I'll take that ride anytime brother, great creativity, great job.
bass work is incredible. i can never get the same vocal quality in my bass as you do, but i guess that goes back to the old adage "it's not the instrument, it's the player"
horn work is amazing btw.
i am searching for words, when the music is right there.
no need for words when you have this resting on your mind.
lol... implemented soo well!
tugs on the edge of analog goodness! great filters and use!
lol.. mr.e should totally play drums
you know, i am thinking about doing a tack that is just a drum solo.
thanks for inspiring me and being a very good human!
being a fellow bass player....i definitely appreciate the subtlety of the bass approach and the trills, voicing of the fretless bass here.
definitely grabbed my attention. do you listen to amon tobin, squarepusher, or mocean worker (adam dorn) at all? i hear adam dorn all over this track. that's a good thing (for me, anyways).
weather report, meet adam dorn.
very nice job. dig the flutes and the subtle movements within the piece. you've succeeded in making me feel that i should get to the woodshack and pull the bass out. :)
Thanks for the great review MrThirdf!..Actually I've never heard Adam Dorn..but I'll soon fix that!...I like a lot of other bassists like to think of the instrument as a full ensemble piece now and not just some element in the rhythm section...more power to the bottom enders yeah!...cheers mate :)
Say, just getting around to review a couple of your tunes here. After that last Van Halen song I posted, I had so many reviews to answer back too.
Anyways, your giving that Jazz bass a workout. It's nice to hear that kind of playing. Slap did a great job as well as he always does. Horns add a lot to a song.
I like this tune a lot, but doubt that I could play this type myself. More like Jazz which I never got into.
Great job here and I commend you both.
At the moment, I am trying to duplicate a guitar sound I have heard on a couple songs. One from Shania Twain and Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana fame).
I am guessing it uses a combo of a Line 6 POD unit and a VoX wah-wah pedal held halfway down to give the unique tone. Guess I'll have to dig my Vox pedal out that I bought in the 60's.
Hey Randy..glad you enjoyed the tune..yeah you can't go wrong with Slap in the mix that's for sure..lol..Haha.Wah pedals are so cool..I used to have one ages ago..but it went missing..and being primarily a bass player I never replaced it..I really like them though (must keep my eyes peeled for a good deal)..looking forward to hearing your next tune..cheers Dave :)
Man you are one hell of a Bass Player! I had a perfect carpet ride to the end!! The way you incorporate your bass line into your songs is outstanding Man I enjoyed another one!!
Ahh..thank you Fila..your words are too kind..as a fellow groove merchant you know where my heart lies..in and around and on the beat! lol..I'll be over to visit! cheers mate :)
This is great! I'd believe it was professional! The beginning was great, but after the first few seconds it drags just a bit, but was still extremely well done! The rest of the song more than made up for it! I might even listen to this regularly! :)
Thanks Sten..I'm glad you liked the track..it's sometimes hard to get every facet 100% flowing..it was a very hands on jamming sort of track..with not much post production...the next one will be tighter I promise!..cheers mate planet :)
Match made in heaven .... Jazz that puts you in the clouds. I enjoyed this track thoroughly. Magic carpet ride was the perfect title for it. AHHHH ha ha ha... Me giving you guys reviews is laughable. I am small... very small when it comes to music, and you guys are true talents. I will continue to learn for that's all there is. A+ for my review
Hey Cool MrMM...glad you liked it..I think the main thing in equating music is to measure how much the person producing it is enjoying it..I've heard absolutely brilliant concert grade musicians play without soul because they were just going through the motions..and buskers with bugger all tuition putting their heart and soul into it...I give the money to the buskers every time!..cheers mate and thanks for your kind review..cheers planet :)
Hi Dave, well I think you know pretty much by now, that I will always jump aboard any mode of transport offered by your good self. I just love your bass style and sound. It's infectious!!! I also love your arrangements and productions, so my job was again the easiest of tasks. I hope you like the clarinet at the end....
Hey Man (Ali)..cool job!..it hadn't escaped my attention in fact ever nuance you bring to a track never ceases to blow me away...The imagery of this piece takes me to the 1965 Elvis Presley film Harum Scarum..or something similar(those films had a profound affect on a young adolescent planet..not the acting or music..but the endless bevy of babes prancing around!)..I wonder if we had of fronted the film set and laid this groove down whether we would have got the gig?..MrE would be the perfect percussionist for the clip..we'd have to work around Elvis though! lol..cheers mate and here's to more music in the future.. Dave :)
Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.
Description : This improv recorded a few years ago powered my interest even further than I expected.....recorded using tc electronics pedal and tascam studio recorder and a Fender Squier tele electric....
Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.
Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.
Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."
Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice
Description : This track describes a magical state that I experienced a long time ago. Maybe you also know the feeling that you can't describe something like this with words ... luckily we have the music for it!
Description : So this is my first Chill Outish track. I was just trying something new and then suddenly this was a thing. Everything you hear is home made. I hope you enjoy. - Mr. Spook'd
Description : That's something i worked out lately
a swing 3/4 hip hop Chill ?? Don't know how to describe this kind of music.
Anyway VOICE NEEDED
So if your interested to try something contact me
Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
Description : This is a pretty chill track with a certain vibe. I really enjoyed making it.
Hope you guys enjoy it and let me know what you think, any feedback is appreciated.
cheers mate Dave :)
this was a bit of a cool tease for me. tantalizing my senses, keeping me on the edge of "whats next", from sax to flute...
a cool mix of instruments, simple, and that breakdown, mwuah.
it was only for a moment but my "getaway" was worth the listen.
Rat.
Fantastic arrangement and expert playing (I read that you play the music, not looped). A stunning piece of work Sir. I look forward to listening to more.
Thanks for sharing this one...
Cheers!
