As Deryk said "this tune is vibrant, sophisticated, compelling to listen to, and the vocal performance is absolutely perfect"

We could not agree more! It is so lush and textured and sounds wonderful on both of our sound systems.

J&B


Could not agree more... first rate all the way Shigeki.

Hi Shigeki Adachi,

I listened to this quite a while back and I was, as always, impressed with just how cleverly you compose and arrange. In addition, Yoko sings so beautifully that she really brings life and character to the music.

This was a very enjoyable listen. I simply closed my eyes, tilted my chair back and let your music create pictures in my mind.



Thank you for another wonderful journey in sound.

All the best,
Noel

Hello, Noel

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am always looking forward to your comments.
I am really glad you like this tune and my arrangement.
In this song, I used a special one that is devised from normal minor cliché. (Im - Im#5 - Im6 - Im#5 or Im - Immaj7 - Im7 - Im6)
The following is the one. Im - Im#5 - Im6 - Im7 - Immaj7 - Im7 - Im6 - Im#5.
It is the influence of Astor Piazzolla.
And I much appreciate your compliments to Yoko's vocal.

All the best,
Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki ,

GREAT energy and flow in this song. Really swinging and beautiful. The instrumentation is perfect. Loved the guitar.

That singer is incredible. I need to fly over there and see if she will sing on some of my tunes!!

Hi again,

Thank you for letting me in on the secret of your chord progression.

This was quite eye-opening for me. I've used the progression, and its variations, a few times over the years in the major mode but it has never once occurred to me to try it out in minor!

As I'm typing this, I'm hearing "The Greatest Love Of All" where the opening progression of the verses use a version of this progression in major...

I-I#-I6-I7-IV-IV#-IV6...

And here's Harry Völker playing it on piano.




Then of course, that signature riff in "Brazil" that's based on I-I#-I6-I is brilliant. The young guy below shows how this riff works really well on the Yamaha electronic organ. By the way, is the Yamaha in the video clip from the Stage A series of electones? I've never seen one of these. I have an EL-90 (which is quite old now).



Thank you for giving me a new chord sequence to experiment with!

All the best,
Noel

Noel,

Thanks a lot for YouTube videos.
I also love major cliché.
Instead, I love all the cliché, and I use them frequently in my songs.
Both "The Greatest Love Of All" and "Brazil" are also my favorite songs.

Especially about "Brazil", I love Jobim's recording the most.

Because the song is like a mass of cliché.

You often study cliché as well.
It is a lot of fun for me to talk about the music theory with you.

Thank you again.
All the best,
Shigeki Adachi
