Perdro! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Well done to the both of you. This has actually become one of my encore tunes when I perform live. I actually resisted singing it for the longest time because it is probably one of the most over-performed jazz standards there is. Anyways, out of the hundreds of My Funny Valentine recordings I have heard, yours definitely rank in my top five!

Love & Light,

Mykael

PedroCasillas replied Unknown
cheers dude, aye ermm the tremolo piano sound, is merely down to teething problems with software used by me and Slap disagreeing with each other, its not meant to be like that, maybe we can try recreating it perhaps, who knows

but we shall try over come it with future tracks

Hey pedro, It's great to play on standards, but to have a standard played with such skill as you have shown on this is a dream! I play standards all the time, and they give the humble jazz musician the material to work,develop,create and put food on the table..

A lecturer I know told me this story. At the graduation of his year, he pulled his class of musicians into an empty classroom to wish them good luck now they had finished their studies with him. He asked them to raise their hands if they would session for Sting, all hands went up. He then asked who would work on a cruise liner in a band, all hands went up. He then asked who would play the northeast club circuit, only a few put their hands up. He then asked who would play at the local Italian pasta/pizza place, one hand was raised. He trned to that one person and said "You will be a professional musician and will always work". He turned to the rest and said " I feel you should all find other work outside of music"..

I think a bright future is just around the corner for you my friend..

Cheers Slap...

wow thanks alot mate :) - i hope to do something with my 'BMus(hons) Jazz' which will enable me to put food on the table. when I get back from my lengthy hiatus i'm gonna hunt you down and force you to mentor me haha ;)

but its such a privilege to play with such an accomplished musician, who'd have thought this virtual musical connection could have came from me merely trying to find some loops haha, we are the north east virtual jazz scene haha.

btw who's this lecturer? I had a lecturer who liked to bang on about sting a bit haha

thanks alot Slap

You're right, it blew me away. Very, very nice, love your piano work. And wow, what can you say about Mr. Slap Johnson that hasn't already been said?! I was recently working on a "Smooth Jazz" track in which I used a few of Slap Johnsons sax loops. And let me tell you, it made my song a thousand times better. But I guess he's good at doing that, right? Keep up the great work and I'll be checking out more of your music.
Peace

We have a place cald "Dante's Down the Hatch" Here in Atlanta, Ga. Very expensive resturant. In the center there's a Pirate ship surounded with water and Crocadiles. On the deck of the ship is some more tables and at one end a jazz band. I can imagine sitting there listening to this. Beautiful song.

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 : "Oh no - not jazz metal! You're not supposed to mix those genres together." Yes, but someone's got to and the musical gods have chosen me for the difficult task. 9 mins of instrumental jazz metal - damn I sure know how to write a hit song - US No 1 here I come. Anyway - there's some dark, swinging groovy jazz, with Rhodes and guitar as the main instruments, for a few minutes and then some haunting, thumping evil breaks loose. Look out for the powerful synth horn sound. And then it just gets heavier and heavier before returning to some nice chillgroove funky mystery jazz. Instruments played and/or programmed: electric guitar, bass guitar, electric cello, multiple programmed acoustic drumkits, filtered strings, Rhodes, big synth bass, evil synth horn and a few other assorted synths. I assume this has too much jazz for metallers and too much metal for jazzers. So, only for weirdoes like me who enjoy both. This will surely be too odd for most people but I like to think it's pretty interesting and powerful. Let me know how its weirdness worked for you...
