Description : SpellJammer has once again provided me with some great keys,percussion and inspiration.We mixed it up and I tried to add some jazz influenced guitar to his melody.I used my Telecaster as always.
I finally got the new bridge saddles and pickup issues under control...I think i'll take it to the professionals next time and just concentrate on making music!
Thanks for listening and let me know what you think...I do appreciate it and enjoy working with SpellJammer and sharing it with all of you.
I have to add that SpellJammer did every thing except the guitars,which I layered about 6 to 8 guitar tracks into his awesome production.
Thanks again Looperfriends.
UPDATE:Slap Johnson has been kind enough to add his awesome Sax! I hope you enjoy and please visit Slap's page!
Oh,I tried to just update this track but had problems doing so.I appreciate the reviews that were left before but I couldn't get around deleting and uploading :)

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 : I think it's a late evening song to accompany you for a single drink.
Jazzy in most of the aspects. It is made single handedly so please consider it an experimentation for the thrill of making music.
Hope you will like it.

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?

Glad you got your Axe fixed also.
I hate when mine is broken also.
Tune is outstanding from you guys. Really nice guitar playing.
I appreciate the production comment and I must say that all the contributors produced there own tracks and I just added guitar parts after the fact but I was the last in line to mix us all together so for that I thank you!
It started with Spelljammer and I added layers of guitar and Slap made me remix the whole song..Yea,like he made me lol!!
I've seen a lot of interesting posts about production,mastering and mixing on the Loop...I haven't chimed into the discussion because I don't know any response but I will tell you that your comment "reminiscent of a different time"is so true.
I took the tracks they sent me,added my own and mixed it,their own EQ...that was that,if it sounded good then I thought it was and posted it and let the Looper community tell me if I should make any changes but I appreciate that everyone who has commented has approved.
A lot has changed in a few years,a lot for the better.
I'ts funny to think that 5 years can sound "dated" but it's true and I love all the new computer production,I'll figure it out one day lol!
You Know Spiv, I know my tracks may sound"old school".....But it's because I Am lol!
Thanks again for your review,
Allen.

Thanks for the comment,I had some great artists contributing to this track.
This is one of those tracks that you get so wrapped up in playing and mixing that you truly don't appreciate and enjoy until way after the song is finished,it was such a pleasure to play on this one.
It was so easy to add guitar to but I remember hours of mixing,even all night and still questioning myself.I mixed and played through cheap headphones and when I heard it through a big system for the first time I thought it was all wrong but it was finished so I let it be but now the more my ear changes with slightly better phones my perception is a little better and comments like yours confirms it and I appreciate your review so much.
Hey,did I mention that all guitar parts were played guitar through a cheap Zoom FX pedal and all parts were mixed through a Tascam 8 track..lol,even the sax was sent dry and I added only the built in reverb in the recorder..I only used my old windowsxp computer to convert the wave to mp3 with Audacity...primitive but it worked.Like I said before,it helps a lot when all the collaborators do their part,they knew they could only depend on me for guitar and ears lol!
Thanks again for your comment.
Allen
Anyway, I had to home in on this one. Some of the best talents on the site all jamming together could mean nothing but a track and a half.
The vibe reminds me a little of Kenny G, very mellow and superbly blended together with all the right ingredients.
It sounds like a full live take. was it?
I'm glad it sounds like a full take cause'it definitely wasn't.
This collab with Spell and Slap was the hardest thing(but most rewarding)to put together.Spell and I had it completed and uploaded when Slap decided to join us so of course we wanted and were honored to have him be part of this.
My problem is that I'm no producer and haven't the skills or equipment to do everyone justice...I just know what they send will be be ready to go, but I am the last one to layer in my guitar and call it final so my ear is all I have.
When Slap sent several sax parts that he made for the track(he sent me a demo first)I had to match them with the demo to get that feel as though we were all in the same room and played it all together.
So actually it was many parts.Spell had the melody complete with keys,percussion,bass and all the special musical additions.He sent it to me and I layered many guitar parts over his track and when Slap sent his parts.
It took me a while to do it but I'm pleased that it came out so well...and of course that you liked it!
Thanks for reviewing my friend and yes,things are slowly getting better!
Allen.
I agree and wish there were a "Smooth Jazz" option on the genres,I'm always torn between the two on here and my co-collaborators seem to agree that a new genre option would be great.
The problem with the jazz is that we were worried about the jazz purists that might not hear it as such.
I should start a forum topic about it...and it sounds like you know the difference : )
Thanks so much for your comment!
Allen
I had a great time playing with these guys.
I'll visit you soon.
Allen
awesome work
Thanks my friend,it's been quite a ride hasn't it?..A year now I think.

Not enough superlatives for this track. You guys need to hit the road....I'll drive :)

You know that's the only thing I miss after these collabs,is wondering "what if"...I can see it in my mind and have the dream that one day one of us wins the big multi million jackpot and brings us all together live.I would be in heaven and wouldn't think twice!
George Benson...hmm..I'll take it!He was the first smooth jazz guitarist I ever listened to,it's very nice to be in the same review as him :)
Thanks Bear,
Allen
If your talents weren't enough, Slap's sax was so satisfying words can not describe. WOW. Now I want to go learn sax :P.
You did a great job anyway creating this track!
So I stuck to the guitar,that's what we talk about all the time.This site has allowed so many of us to share what we do and the Spell,Slap combo is hard to beat,that's why I'm so happy to play a part in these collabs.
Thanks again!
Allen

Another magical piece, such a chilled laid back track, again Slap is brilliant on the Sax, like the intro, then into the track, nice guitar and beat my friend, this is one to sit back n have a drink and let the music take you on a journey,Fav'd my friend...very good work Allen, another great collab..Peace dude...Estefano...
Thanks for your review my friend,
Allen
Wayne
I guess it's in part that the style SpellJammer and I are doing lends it's self to the Sax so well,and that Slap is just sooo very awesome!
Allen
Brian ;)
You know I was just talking to my Son about how this was not my original choice for live music,which is all I did until I joined this site.I always played in top40 rock bands so I loved this but rarely played with this caliber of musicians needed to create this stuff live.So this is a very appreciated experience!
Thanks again Brian,
Allen
I'll be talkin' to you soon :)

Anytime my friend!

It doesn't actually even need anything more.
