Description : Funky mellow jazz looping tune I put together after a friend of mine told me he had been laid off. Used driving Drum Beat(the grandma)who never gives up- the Bass (grandpa)who adds some advice one in a while and the other instruments reflect a family's pain in discussing what just happened. Hope you enjoy the tune and that no has to experience being Laid Off.

Hey, Fila! Just found this track. Missed it two years ago, but better late then never! Excellent track. Loved the groove. Very, very, listenable.

Hey man thanks for stopping by and taking a listen. Comments appreciated. Have to admit was my most difficult to put together and finding the right loops and putting the solos together to keep that feeling. Just released all my songs through CD baby so stop over to filaofsoul.rocks and grab a copy. Will be releasing my first tune in two years here in a few days so look out. Again Thanks!

Wow!
The first bit that got me was .... the description of what lay before me should I press the play button.
An unusual description to say the least and maybe a bit over ambitious but nope .... worked just fine. Set the scene for me and I settled in with that story and that feeling and that place and what a decent family they all turned out to be too!
I do a lot of looping and then editing and effecting etc and piano electric or other wise is so far to difficult for me to get right. My big challenges at the moment are adding vocals and using piano. At the moment I feel I'm beginning to get there slowly with the vocals but the piano will have to be for another time.
I've also tried a few approaches to jazz but oh dear so cold and automated and soulless.
This sounds like the real deal.
Not only am I well impressed I'm a little inspired too.
Fantastic little number that sounds genuine and warm and very real.

Hey silverman thanks for stopping by and taking a listen. I know what you mean. I have been doing this for about 15 years and you dont what to know how many projects I had to dump. My first try at jazz was 55 MPH take a listen took about 7 months of trying different things here and there to get the feeling. I will stop by your stage a take a listen Keeping plugging it will fall in place.

That groove. I was instantly hooked by the keys at the start. Did you use EZ drummer for the drums? They sound great! The progression with those chord is flawless. Great work, friend! It feels like and

I'm browsing the tracks on this site looking for something decent to listen to and went through about 5 pages. Well, nothing worth while until I came across this little jewel! I love pretty much everything about this track, so can't really pin-point any one thing. Great job!

Very cool jazzy, funky, sexy little number you have here Fila! The keys lay the foundation for those horns to glide over. Great mix, sweet track!

Best of luck to your friend!

Wonderful. The drum is very funky and works definitely well (fits your description, the love of a mother... even more: a grandmother :-)
Beside the outstanding drums, the bass is perfect: short sentences, but full of wisdom.
An instant classic.
Loved.

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?
