oh! that bass sounds good.

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.

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!

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.

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/

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.

i envy your bass skills.

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.

man that's a nice carpet!

how much?

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. :)
Planetjazzbass
Planetjazzbass replied Unknown
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 :)

Hi Dave,

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.

Take care,
Randy

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 :)

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! :)

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 :)

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..

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 : 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...
