Description : A bit defeated by the community I moved my family to a decade ago, we packed the car and we're headed out of town...a little sad, but respectful too.
Props to SlapJohnson for the excellent sax work. The tune was basically composed around his melody. I added all the other instruments, some real and some midi, in GarageBand. There's some Looperman choir loops in there...not sure who.
The the song came together in an evening, but the final details were painfully worked out over the course of many hours of sitting at the computer. Did the best with what limited equip/software I have.

Thanks for the review John. I didn't realize my tracks were not set to be downloadable...I just changed them all. If you're still interested, I'd be honored if you downloaded the track. Don't forget to send out props to Slap Johnson for the great sax work.
Considering your resources (and I know what it's like to have very limited resources at your disposal) this sounds really good. My only criticism is a bit of the percussion stuff, really mostly the weird shaker/highhat sound that gives it a sort of computerized synth edge that to me detracts from the rest of it. Maybe you can find a nice sample of a really sizzly ride cymbal, or something that sounds a little more natural? It only bothers me so much because it seems to be pretty persistant the whole song and by the end I really wished it was something else. Rhythmically it's fine... I'd just say find another sound to replace it.
You're right about that percussion sound. It was kind of nagging on me as well. Taking your suggestion and will tweak with something different. Thanxs.

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 made me just stop working on it and listen to it for enjoyment.
Smooth Mellow funky Jazz. Uses: 0111003-djrumplestiltskin-swung-funk-drum-beat, 0087009-mrroads442-guitar-line, 0072485-michiel555-mellow-funk, 0058934-ferryterry-90-bpm-soprano-sax. Is this Funk or Jazz?
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 : Updated 10/08/2022/ Remastered. I wanted to write something snappy, jazzy, and smooth. Drums, Keys, written, mixed, composed, arranged, and mastered by M.T. Enjoy
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.
Description : I was working on another track that I couldn't get to work and after a couple hours I gave up disgusted and frustrated and just started playing keyboard a bit, for fun.
And then I wrote this.
Because sometimes that's how our creative brains work. Go figure.
Very impressive work
John
