Description : This is the 6th track ( 15th mix with improved bass and sax reverbs mixed through a pair of Yamaha HS50M monitors and mastered inLogic) taken from the "Festival" album my son and I are recording for this years Edinburgh fringe festival which is in August. The idea is to showcase the music at the festival and sell the cd to the crowds of people who attend. We will be getting 1,000 cds professionally pressed and packaged, and fingers crossed we will sell the majority over the course of the 7 days we will be performing. Alexander is blowing a tenor sax on this track, with me dropping onto the alto.
This song is a dance/funk fusion number featuring a massive horn section ( two tenors, two altos,two soprano,one flute and a baritone ) with some monster harmonised riffs. Basses and guitars played by myself, with the drums looped from Logic....
All mix related comments welcome, plus the normal reviews which help me drive this thing forward.

Cheers, Slap...

Love the funkyness! The bass could be a little higher but the sax is just gorgeous

Paulkeus 6th May 2011 23:57 - 15 years ago

Another great track!
Good to hear you dont need me anymore for the production.
You are getting better at it all the time.
Big heads up!
Paul

Congratulations ... you guys are really great talent ... I have nothing to add, just listen to this track with great pleasure. I love the retro vibe. A nice job pretty well executed.

Your sax playing is amazing. How long have you been playing?

Well, I've been playing for 30 years!! My son has been playing 8 years and he is truly gifted...

it was at a faster tempo than I'd expected.. very joyus feeling funk. So, is that Alexander playing after that scratch and drop at 1:12? it's Impressively funky. I really was grinning the whole time. On the tech end I couldn't hear a single thing out of place, out of phase, too loud or too quiet.

still grinning,
Toby

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi Toby, I'm so pleased you liked it... Yes that's Alexander blowing a storm on his Tenor sax...

Cheers, Slap...

jfw 29th Mar 2011 21:37 - 15 years ago

The horn stabs are super tight and some great tones you both have going on in the solo's. My only comment like others have already said might be about nudging the bass up a touch.

Jamie.

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi Jamie, I've now pushed up the bass and it sounds a lot better for it. Thanks for dropping by and lending your support.

Cheers, Slap...

Hey Slap

mate this is massive, nothing at all to fault, just sitting here in AWE of your amazing talent, so blown away when I hear you play, look forward to the day you and Elaine do a collab with her being the queen of funk, would be a massive and an amazing piece, look forward to that day...Massive fav my friend, absolutely stunning...Peace and much respect...Estefano...

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi Estefano, Elaine is the Queen of funk agreed! Once this album is out of the way I will see if she is happy to get on down with the slapster... lol

Cheers, Slap...

Planetjazzbass 29th Mar 2011 09:02 - 15 years ago

Hey mate...if the horns were any crisper you'd have to put them in a plastic bag and market them!(SaxoCrisps/salt&vinegar flavour lol)...man I love this groove,the chord structure is so thick..the way you stack the stabs is unreal and you swing it with that baritone on the bars...every time I hear that beast it just hits your mid section.......There's one thing that surprises me,how did you ever get out of America?..if the pundits in Detroit,Chicago or wherever the hell the heart of Funk resides over there had of heard this,they would have chained you to a recording studio's door or made you George Clinton's right hand man!......Fuuuuuuunky stuff Men!..cheers Dave

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi Dave, Horn crisps! I'm liking that idea... Maybe next year we could sell those to the people watching us at the Fringe lol...
I'm glad you're feeling the funkyness... The baritone is a great honk to add to a track, that rich bottom end always helps to beef up the sectionals. I think the bass needs to be up in the mix and a few have said which confirms it. I think a little more mix tweaks here and there are on the cards, but nothing heavy. George Clinton is one of the most groovy dudes on the planet, working for him would be an awesome dream come true..

Cheers, Slap...

Vicen 29th Mar 2011 04:55 - 15 years ago

Wonderful mix of saxophones. In my humble opinion, nothing to say ... only, go for them ... This track is great and sounds great.

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi Vicen, I'm glad you're digging the groove of this horn monster. Thanks for dropping by and showing your support.

Cheers, Slap...

n0mad23 28th Mar 2011 22:52 - 15 years ago

Honestly, I'd like to hear that bass brought forward a bit, but that's my aesthetic (hey, you asked!).

A father and son collaboration...how cool is that? I dream of the day my daughters sit down to do some recording with me. Meanwhile, I do the elementary school drum club with my 12 year old weekly. Live jam, yeah it is the best!

This is happening Slap. It "feels" like a totally dialed in live set. And honestly, what can really be better than that?

Added to my list of favorites. Thanks for that!

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hi N0mad, I have to agree about the bass now it's been mentioned twice. Sitting on top of the song can be a hard place to hear those slight changes which make the thing really groove right. Drum club sounds like a great fun activity for all involved. I thank you for reviewing first and helping this track reach it's full sonic value.

Cheers, Slap...
