here my last track! i wrote several tracks since my last passage in this place, i all published them on my soundcloud
Can follow me in this place here: soundcloud.com/bleep64/poker-life-joker-wife
Description : A fat groove journey incorporating hip hop, jazz, rock and more. Chilled out and rocking, with some big riffs and basslines. The main instruments are saxophone, piano and cello plus some resonator guitar and banjo. Sax is the only instrument not played by me as the parts here were contributed a few years ago by a guy I know. Anything that sounds like distorted guitar is actually distorted cello. Loads of that, including solos, in the second half. No electric guitar or bass guitar. Not much synth work but there are two synth basses and an organ. Otherwise, it's quite an acoustic "played instruments" kind of sound. Lots of drums, including loops, multiple programmed acoustic kits and drum hits. I know Radiohead have an excellent song called Everything In Its Right Place but I still like my title and there's a story behind it (nothing to do with music). Interesting feedback appreciated. Do you have any favourite or least favourite sections? Details are appreciated...
Description : A while ago Danke posted this track, I can't link you to it
because he took it down, he likes keeping his page clean
and simple...Cool by me...
Anyway I added a Bass, in the Bridge and 2 Guitars to the
track, keeping it as simple as possible. with a little Guitar Rock Space with the Bass and Funk with the Guitar jump...
Now if someone has something to say, with a voice
big enough to ride this Monster...Do your Thing...
Send us a link to hear it...
Having fun...Hope you all like it...
Peace...TG.
Hey Dave
Greetings from the west, mate this is very nice, listening to it with headset, have to say filling out the head room very well, nice bass, nice flowing beat, sax is stunning, excellent guitar in this one, this one takes you a pleasurable journey...Great work my friend...Really enjoyed the listen...Fv...Peace n Respect Dave...Mosaic...
Very smooth work. Top notch.
Nice to know the genre is nicely portrayed here with this track. It always gives me a little chuckle when the term is used and the track doesn't come close to actually being "fusion." I'm a huge fan of Weather Report, and this track sure reminds me of them...Love it!
Ciao,
M.
Wery hard sond And Wery Nice
nice to stumble on a planetjazzbass track this a.m. like that star-trek-like vocal hit early on. I felt the split second setup into some more traditional changes right before the sax solo and that was very smooth and beautiful subtle color change. low mix awesome. peace. regards. Dan
Real nice vibes, and a great mix to boot! Kudos to you Dave, and Slap as well...!
Sounds Good Mate. I am loving the SAX.
Very Jazzy arrangement with lots of class. Something to truly unwind to. Talented people usually associate themselves with very talented people too. I must say this is a real Adult music lover's song.
The arrangement very skilfully done and would not expect anything less from you Dave. The guitars truly stole the show and Slap's Sax is always the best anywhere. A nice and imaginative atmosphere keeps things glued together so nicely.
You and your friends Dave should take a bow! Very exquisite and masterfully done, no complaints from me, just a magnificent listen.
Joe
great performance great production, pure musical joy, nothing more to say but Happy Holidays down under.
nothing but perfect!!!!
the first bars let me grab my axe to play along, that's all I need to say about a song I love ...
thank you for this gem.
peace, rei
This is PROFESSIONAL
i can't say more
and OH the PERC in the intro amazing
Samer
hi Dave
We are moving forward with our Entwicklung..lol
Maybe we should have a complete album to upload to Reverbnation under a band name.
Thank you for cooperation
Zappo
Wow Dave, you really took your music to a new level. You three are all extremely accomplished musicians and it shows here. The composition is amazing, not to mention the production. I'm not sure I could ever write something like this(i'm not worthy,lol) and listening to this just makes me a bit envious of your writing and arranging skills. The bass has a great tone, this is your frankenbass, right?
From Zappo's incredible guitar to Slap's tasty sax, the overall feel and mood has a sweet flow. The drums keep the steady rhythm but the song takes on some interesting personalities as it goes.
What more can I say that many have already stated? Simply an awesome fusion track. Congrats on a successful collab fellas!
Wayne
very good composition. I like very much. BRAVO
Sorry Dave!
Early morning without coffee...:-)
Respect again, Danke
Hello Alex!
No more clever words as the others before me told you everything!
There is nothing like the magic of the live music!
Only for this fact I take my hat off, but this superb instrumentation and that magical bass play and tone offer the 5 stars for this production!!!
Much respect, Danke
When many composers combine, that equals great stuff. So, well done!!
Hi Dave
This is revelation! It is simply wonderful and a joy to behold. Firstly the talent that is evident in the playing is outstanding. Real musicianship abounds and is illustrated by tasteful playing and amazing sounds. The arrangement is superb and added to the fact that the players are not competing for space gives the end result a great feel and sounds excellent.
Sometimes when I look through tracks here on the Loop and then look at members profiles (oh did I say that out loud?) I see postings within days of each other. When you listen to it you sort of know why too. It is always plain to see (and hear) that your music is "crafted" and has had love and care in it's construction. At a time when making music can be almost instant for some it is reassuring to know there are those who prefer to rely on skill, knowledge, talent and artistic flair to create something over a period of time that deserves to be listened to.
Top track Dave - applause to all the guys concerned.
Richie
Hey Plantjazzbass,
I had never heard of fusion before. (although I do play guitar and trumpet in my school's jazz band) It was really interesting to hear the whole dynamic of funk, rock, and jazz blended into one song. I really liked the saxophone improv; I thought you did a great job using dynamics to keep every note interesting, along with superb phrasing to keep me guessing where you would go next. The guitar solo was great! (I have a rock background with guitar) It had a perfect amount of distortion, reverb and delay to keep it smooth, yet really in your face and punchy. Overall great track! Looking forward to see what other Fusion songs you put out!
Rico L.
Just goes to show what can happen when real musicians get together and create some magic.
Beautifully executed and produced, very pro
Simon
Dave,
This is fantastic. Speachless. Brilliant. Soothing.
Mark.
Ok wow on the intro, is that an ocarina? As I listen I am just drawn into this so my first musical pass will be about how it effects me as a listener. Bass has such an awesome groove, sinister in nature. Chord structure is almost deviant. then that wicked guitar solo moment.(I might mix it just a hair smaller in the overall mix) But just a wow. For me the bass work drives this piece. The subtle sounds create this flow of energy to the piece. the other sounds are mere accoutrements that accent this musical art piece well. The sax is so well played and mixed. What I like about your work Dave is the attention to detail in the arrangement. It's almost a lost art in music these days.
thanks to this song I started to explore 801 with Phil Manzanera once again, so thanks for that.

Well Dave....you dont post as often as many of us (me in particular) would like...but when you do..man you just raise the bar...I`m not really sure what to even say about this one...for me, its an example of what might be accomplished when a group of fine musician /composers/ producers get together and build the music with thought and patience...(I`ll have another chat with myself about my lazy habits..but it hasnt worked before)...let me just say I enjoyed this one immensely...and I raise my glass in respect to all of you..(its just beer but I like it)...great stuff mate....Ed
This is a very, very nice piece of work. solid production...
A spot or 2 things just get in the way of each other, but not in a bad way...
Everything is so clean, that they just stick out harmonically to my ear
anyway...
But over all it's top shelf stuff, a Highway Roller 4 sure...
Outstandingly done...Dave...
Peace...TG.
The real musicians on this site knows how to get things done here like you do Dave. The line up of fine talent in this song illustrates your commitment and passion to create great music that not only impresses but sounds professional. The guitar work in this one blew me away. The bass, Funky! Slap, well I am big fan of his work and we are fortunate to have such a great talent on this site. His Saxophone work adds a bit of a spark to this. Zappo keyboard work, brilliant. I really appreciate a great song that was thought out, planned, arranged and played very well. Awesome song! Joe
Greetings.
This really is true fusion music and I mean a specific thing by that that I'll now try to explain.
I end up having to put quite a few of my tracks here in the 'fusion' genre - mostly because nothing else seems to fit and there's no 'psychedelic' or at least 'psychedelic rock'.
I'm generally not happy using that tag and listening to this track reminds me why. I think fusion is actually a proper genre (often 'jazz fusion') and not just what you get when a bunch of genres are mixed together. This track I hear as a classic example of that fusion genre. It's certainly got the jazz in it.
I'm not particularly into the fusion genre, even though I do a lot of music making that has a great deal in common with it. Maybe it's the somewhat meandering sort of vibe or the slightly atonal jazz aspect. Hard to say. 0:04 is a classic sort of atonal jazz fusion chord. It might even be your bass.
0:57 those high notes really catch my attention, especially at 1:03. Quite theremin-like there and a cool sound.
Fat, solid beat in this but perhaps your bass tone is the standout element. I don't mean just the fine playing but that the tone really adds the character that I think a more regular bass guitar sound just wouldn't add. I still want that sound. Must get a fretless bass someday.
2:30 that's a good snare.
3:28 I like the rocking guitar, especially the weird lead. I think it does drown the drums (and thus groove) out a bit but that's probably just about OK.
4:54 guitar solo is also pretty damn cool. With some tight, funk guitar behind it.
It's overall a well produced and even better played track featuring fine performances from everyone involved. Makes me think of live music rather than home listening type of stuff.
Maybe the closest thing I've done to this sort of jazz fusion track is the following one. It kind of sounds quite acoustic but it's all sample-based keyboard instruments and modified drum loops. No live, recorded instruments, for a change.
Think Big Feel Small

Really enjoyable fusion track with initial pleasantly lazy vibe which subsequently gives the room for tasty sax soloing, raising the temperature a bit, and finaly leaves the space to
very solid guitar combinations which do the final trick. Well done to all involved!
Compliments____Orlando
Hi Dave! Really interesting track, congrats!
Regards, traz
Very interesting and stylish fusion here! Haven't heard from Slap or Zapp for quite a while, so this is a nice change here on the loop! I can always get into your bass style, and I must say that it's my favorite part of the track. I guess the crunchy guitar part around the 4 minute mark is pretty cool, but I feel that it's a bit on the obtrusive side in a mix like this. I got the feeling that there were two guitar tracks going on at the same time which had virtually the same tone to them, maybe that led to me feeling it was on the loud side. The cleaner guitar chords after that were quite nice though. I enjoyed listening to the whole piece, and you all did a great job!
sounds nice. I would preffer some more straight played chord progression on keyboards to all the atmospheres added here. I really like the slapjohnson's playing - it sets the composition more in a specific tonality. there's some unnecessary (to me of course) 'harmonic ambivalence' at parts over these fine bass grooves you've played. the track seems a bit 'over-fused' even, if that makes sense. from about 4:38 mark it sounds much simple to me and that's my favourite part (with acoustic guitar). I can hear double bass loop and bass overtones at 0:22 - nice jazz feel.
nice work, this type of mixing is not my favourite though.
I enjoyed your track, thanks for allowing downloads, Alex
