Jazz on the Cool Side

It was a little chilly yesterday and I had some time to sit down and write this song. It is just a quick and dirty little ditty

BiaB style = BluesStr - Bluesy jazz w/ strings
Bass - Ample bass - upright bass
Piano - Waves - Grand Harmony
Guitar - Kontakt - Jazz guitar
Strings - Kontakt - solid state symphony and Amadeus - full string enseble

I am playing the guitar and via my keyboard the Swam tenor sax.


Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

Mario,
Neat laid back tune. Cool & memorable guitar passages! That SWAM sax sounds very realistic. Easy listen. Good one. Thank you for sharing.

Nice interplay between the guitar and sax. Strings could've been a tad louder for my ears, but only a tad. Really love that Swam and wind controller combo you have, it's a great sound. Excellent work here.

Sounding good, Mario!

Sax sounds great, and I really like the lines you are playing on the guitar. Love the interplay between the two. For my tastes the guitar could be a bit louder, but that's a minor quibble.

Yikes! You sat down and produced this in just 1 day? I need more than that just to sketch out the concept!
Nice work, especially the sax.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hi MarioD
I was shocked by the sound, so real and authentic!!! If I close my eyes I am among an audience that listens relaxed to the band. I have enjoyed it very much. The sweetness of the guitar is enviable.

Stay well

I'm not really the biggest fan of jazz, but your song is a nice listen.
I like best what you do yourself, the guitar and the saxophone smile

Thanx so much. My wind controller has died so this was done with a MIDI keyboard controller and expression pedals.

Sometimes it only takes a few hours for me to whip up a song and other times it may take weeks.

Sometimes us analytical types have to let go and let our creative side take over.

Thanx for those extremely nice comments. That guitar is a $300 Jay Turser jazz box with flat wound strings through Amplitube 5. I really like the sound of it.

Thanx for listening and commenting on a genre that is not on the top of your music list. I appreciate that.

Hey Mario ...

Finally ghot over hear to listen. And man, am I'm glad I did! Your guitar tone reminds me of bnoth Hern Ellis and, to a slightly lesser degree, Barney Kessel. I love Big Band swing ballads and this one is just so good!@

I always love when the producer decides the sax, particularly tenor sax, needs just a touch more reverb.

Really nioce all the way! loved my listen.

Stay warm!

Very different Mario in a good way. Cool laid backtrack. Boy they do a good job of the virtual instruments. That sax was excellent. Guitar was excellent as well. Cool phrasing and precise playing. Well done

Thanx so much Alan for this wonderful review. However don't even think about putting my name in the same sentence with Herb or Barney; those cats could really play!
