Description : Here's a Jazz/Funk track I'm working. This will feature alot of live adlib and freestyle play on my keyboard. So far it has brass and woodwinds with some funky drum patterns and a shaker. Also, the first few seconds is me playing the Jazz Guitar live on my keyboard. This will be a lot of fun, and if anyone is interested, you can add a few bars of live playing in the track also, using Guitar, Bass, Keys, ect. The BPM is at 99. Tell me you all's thoughts so far? There will be more added in the future. Enjoy~

    Greetings, Golden O.

    This is good though I appreciate that it's very much a work in progress. Adding more elements (and length) should indeed help.

    This is fairly skilfully put together and definitely the basis for some proper funk.

    Jazz guitar keyboard playing is good and sets the tone nicely. Then the first problem: that hat stands out as having the wrong sort of sound (too dry, needs reverb) and the wrong timbre. I know there's no "wrong" in music, I'm just saying how I feel. I have loads of good drum sounds but in some tracks they do feel wrong. Might also have groove not quite right. Play around with some different quantise settings.

    Brass blasts are decent. Could be a better sampled sound but I guess it's the best you have. I hardly have any decent brass sampled instruments. They generally don't sound good played in a regular way so I have to use them in a different way ie add loads of delay or whatever.

    0:55 first cool brass fill. Makes me think not of funk but some other genre. More jazz or ska or something similar.

    I hope these thoughts help just a little bit.

    Good luck with it as it's definitely worth continuing with.

    Hello there! Thank you for your comment. I actually intended for this track to be a Funk/Jazz type. This is simply the alpha stage of the track. It's no where near being finished. My goal is...or now was to have other musicians/producers to add their own stuff into this song, like a simple freestyle off, or something y'know? Just a few bars of just simply ad libing. The drum kits are in their most basic forms, which will need to be redone, however, hopefully someone will correct that, and add their own realistic drum loops. I'd be honored if you perhaps done a few bars of free play on the track with any instrument. If interested, message me man. Nevertheless, thank you again for your comment.

    I like the brass section, it is very catchy & groovy, when comes to the drums they are a little bit killing it. I used to play drums and that feeling for the beat is simply not coming. Funky music likes to use rhytms going against main rhytm (3rd = 1st) or rhytms 1-3 with pre-striked snares or kicks. It is kinda hard to create such rhytms in 4/4 sekvencers without using some shuffling or groovizer and even after it will still can sound odd & robotic. If you do this in Reason I could make some drum loops for you, if you like..

    I do like that you made a point, my friend. I did, however try to make this a Jazz/Funk track. I figured the hats would have a swing like pattern, which are absolutely in need of reworking. I made this using Fl studio, but if you'd like to contribute to making some realistic Funk/Jazz sounding drum loops, please do! I would love for this track to feature many of Looperman's musicians/producers. :) Just message me, man. Everything will be much appreciated!

    Hey Bro...definitely hearing something here!..the horns are fab and the little key solo in the intro is working..maybe needs defining a little more volume with a xylophone..roy ayers kinda thing!..but it works well..if its a instrumental you got some work to do!!...take out the shaker and o0pen the hi/hit a little as there too tight!

    Much appreciated man! I will keep those things in mind. This is simply the alpha stage of this. I would like to have others work on this with me, by adding their own stuff into it, y'know? I plan to add better drum patterns, of course. And have much better instrumentation. Thank you again!

    Amazing work so far! Really love how groovy the track is! I would add some live playing, but my mic isn't of good quality so I think it would detract from the song, not add to it.

    Great work!

    Hey! Don't limit yourself! Please, feel free to send me what you'd like. Y'know, a few good bars of live playing. As for the quality, I'm sure that can be worked on or edited. I encourage you to participate with this song man. My plan is to get others to add in his/her own stuff, and create a big collab track. Just send me a message if you're interested, my friend. And everyone who is involved, will absolutely be credited. Peace!

    very cool everything works well together, it has a sense of progression which is always good. Doesn't feel like its going nowhere.
    BUT i would say currently it feels a little bland, you mention your going to add keys, that will most certainly fix it i think, some underlying chords, a melody or something on the keys should do the trick :D

    Cool track G.O :D

    Hey buddy! I am thinking about possibly making this a huge collab track with other's putting in their few measures/bars of their playing as well. That would be an awesome thing. Thanks for the feedback! Hope soon enough it'll go somewhere!

Description : It's the first mission I have to go on alone. My deserving, long-time companion, co-commander, navigator, on-board psychologist and brilliant astronaut Robbie was lost during our last one. I had received signals from the ice planet L115 indicating that he may have crashed there with his exploration ship. Follow my search for him there as I go from valley to valley, ice mountain to ice mountain, and have to leave the planet again without success. Looks like this could be a very long search...

Description : This is another Jazz/Funk composition. My brother on the Loop, BaoBou was kind enough to grace this track with his fire on guitar. Also, as a result of his contribution, I got inspired and added even more funk into the mix. Enjoy.

Description : This track starts off with some Jazzy Neo-Soul then gets into some Funk with a Rock Space-Synth solo, then ends with some straight Neo-Soul.
So I won't offend anyone that's hardcore into Funk, I'd say this track is "Funkish"
PEACE...
