Loren,
Very nice and catchy tune. Well arranged and mixed.

You got some awesome songs on soundclick!

Thank you for sharing and a happy, creative New Year smile

Misha.

P.S. Strangely, when I clicked your soundclick profile Hazz Jazz to hear your other songs, nothing happened.
It did not take me to playlist or a pop-up. So I searched from main page and was able to open page from there. I am using Chrome...

Hello, "Riccled"...

"Groovy" is what I hoped the listeners would feel about the song. I'm glad to have you validate that, Riccled!

Sincerely,

LOREN

Hello, Misha...

That tune was the kind of thing that just popped into my head one day, and it sent me straight to Band-in-a-Box. I'm glad it appealed to you. The arrangement, as always, it where BIAB shines when you feed it some chords!

The songs I post on SoundClick are for family and friends to listen to as I tweak, re-arrange and re-compose them, even, before I decide they are good enough to post here on the User's Forum. Nonetheless, I'm glad that you enjoyed them. Sorry you had trouble locating the posts!

Sincerely,

LOREN

An excellent listen.

Hello, there, Peter...

"Atmospheric". Yes, I think jazz organ trios do indeed create a unique atmosphere: upbeat, swinging, mellow in tone and feel, and intimate, too, as they usually lack higher volume instruments such as brass. Agreed!

Thanks for listening, Peter.

Hello, Will Josef...

It's easy to like the jazz organ trio sound. I'm sorry to read that your country offers so few venues that feature such performers. Oh, well! Until then, you could get your hands on CD's by Jimmy Smith, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Charles Earland, Jimmy McGriff, and others, and then throw a party featuring them as the music of the evening cool !!!

We stepped in, loved the groove and had to sit down for more.

Like many folks who did not grow up in a jazz atmosphere we came to learn about the B3 from Gregg Allman. Seeing him manipulating the keys/stops and watching that Leslie twirl was and is mesmerizing.

Much, much more recently we have been listening to the 2018 collaboration of Van Morrison and Joe DeFrancesco and that has helped us gain a deeper appreciation of the B3. To the extent that we have learned a good bit about Mr. DeFrancesco. Were we not Van Morrison fans for years we wouldn't have known of him.

All meaning we were ripe for your composition and LOVED it. Heck, your narrative in the post was worth the price of admission alone!

The melody is relaxing but at the same time the entire production just cooks! Guess that sounds counter intuitive but that's the only way we can put it.

This is wonderful and we look forward to the next visit to LL!

Ha! I do hope you had a very laid back New Year's evening in Loren's Lounge. Great music and good company sounds like the type of place I would have liked to have been. Enjoyed my listen, especially the organ. Thank you!

Hello, Ms. Cooper...

Yes, I did indeed have a "very laid back New Year's evening in 'Loren's Lounge', thank you!

I'm flattered that your comment included being in the presence of "good company". To me it suggests that you absorbed the party atmosphere of the composition and imagined yourself amongst the patrons. What more could I ask for as a composer? It's a fine compliment and I thank you for it.

Sincerely,

LOREN

Dear Ms. Janice & Bud...

I'm honored that you took the time to enjoy the sounds at "Loren's Lounge"! smile

I understand completely the duality of your listening experience. It's perfectly descriptive of the jazz organ trio sound. There's a warmth of tone from the B3 that is indeed relaxing to hear, even while the performer "just cooks". There's nothing "counter-intuitive" about that at all.

Glad to have you as my guests,

LOREN

Hi Loren,

I really wish I could express myself as eloquently as you do in any of your wonderful reviews, because that's exactly what your great posting would deserve. Sorry, but you will have to make do with some simpler words: So great. Just awesome. Absoutely excellent. Very cool (t.b.c.).

Well, in fact, I didn't make it to the lounge on New Year's Eve, but very belatedly this afternoon, but wasn't that a treat.... I immediately dived into the backmost shelves to look for my old , no: very, very old, Jimmy Smith LPs - how could I ever forget them there...?

Loren, your recording is so nice and cool, I had to listen to it three times in a row (before I started diving).

I've always loved the B3 a lot, and whenever I played in a band with a keyboarder owing that fine instrument he could be the devil in disguise - I would never have let him go. On the other hand: Whenever it came to transporting that back-breaking monster you'd find me ... no, you wouldn't find me at all.

This fine blast from the past really made my day. And I'm sure it will make my weekend , too.

Love it, Loren, just love it!

Happy New Year,

Stefan

LOL laugh !!!

Thanks for coming back to "Loren's Lounge". Ms. Janice, I think there's probably no better compliment that could be paid to a composer working in any popular music genre than to be told that listeners were inspired to "move their feet to the beat" while listening to his/her songs. I really appreciate that!

Most sincerely,

LOREN

Hello, Stefan...

I'm sorry you didn't make it to "Loren's Lounge" on New Year's Eve, but, as you found out, the doors never close there smile !!!

I am "tickled pink" that you enjoyed listening to it so much. I'm not surprised that the B3 is one of your favorite instruments because, based on the songs you post to the User's Forum, you obviously know a thing or two about the blues, which the B3 comes to naturally.

Gotta give maximum praise to the RealTracks artists. They "took" to my chord changes like birds into the sky.

Thanks for your enthusiatic and encouraging response, Stefan!

Truly,

LOREN

Toe tappin' stuff, Loren.

That B3 is a classic sound, and you delivered it perfectly.

Hi Loren,

This is my kind of jazz smile

My primary instrument is electronic organ and this is a style that I LOVE playing. You've brought an outstanding instrumental to life with some very well-considered arranging while working within the limitations of a jazz trio. As I listened, I could very easily visualise your trio on stage! To my mind, this is a sign of a master-craftsman at work!

Loved it!

All the best,
Noel
