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!
Wow... amazing work from two virtuosos! It didn't just blast my socks off mate... it ripped a hole through my beloved stripy stockings and wrenched my heart straight out of my ribs.
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
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..
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
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
@Blair - that sounds like the coolest restaurant ever and if they were playing there live I'd easily pay for a $100 steak dinner. lol. this track is amazing - two very talented ppl. two thumbs up Pedro!
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 first discovered the iconic singer Ella Fitzgerald through my parents, my mother who was a renowned vocalist herself had a deep appreciation for the music of legendary artists. I was too young but captivated by the soulful jazz melodies that filled our home on lazy Sunday afternoons. "Summertime" Exudes a timeless touch of elegance it has a special place in my heart.

I just put together some old ideas to see if it will work. Some vocals and brass, or guitars is clearly needed. Let me know what you think about it. Tnx
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 : This is track me and my friend (great jazz, blues musician) done
around this great vocal we acquired.
Lot of hours in it.
I had great fun making it!
Hope you people like it.
Love and peace.
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 made me just stop working on it and listen to it for enjoyment.
Smooth Mellow funky Jazz. Uses: 0111003-djrumplestiltskin-swung-funk-drum-beat, 0087009-mrroads442-guitar-line, 0072485-michiel555-mellow-funk, 0058934-ferryterry-90-bpm-soprano-sax. Is this Funk or Jazz?
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 : Something a bit different from us. I (Bobo) played guitar, synth, midi bass and percs to this piano loop by LM's most excellent Rasputin. Wataya, stoned as usual, thought he heard Barbara Streisand singing. This is the result.
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?
