I just wondering if the people out there understand all the technique that this tune contains. Verrrry well done!

Hi Aelmen,

Thank you for the compliment. This may be over some of the younger player's heads, but there are some fine players here that may get into it. It was a toughy, though, but I had played it many times in my younger days.

Cheers,
Scott

You rocked my world with this one. The sax was to kill for. If that was a VST, would you share where it came from? The execution of this tune was flawless. Thanks for the listen. Pat

Thanks alot, Pat. Really glad you like it.

Yes, the sax is a VST. It is Cakewalk TTS by Roland. It came with my Sonar X3 Producer, but it is standard with most of the Cakewalk DAWS.

Cheers,
Scott

Great job on this one Scott,i particularly like the modern bridge section at 1:16 kind of Chic Corea vibe.Struggle with unreal sax,hate it with a passion i am afraid,i believe Charlie and Diz would too,sorry.The Piano sounds great.Timeless composition.

Thanks a lot for checking it out and leaving your comment. That's a good sax VST, but nothing compares to the real thing.

Great rendition Scott...very enjoyable listen! Cool drumming and nice piano soloing both stand out. That slightly distorted vibraphone transition point is also impressive! Production is stellar as well! Thumbs up!:)

Many thanks, Orlando. Really glad you like it and took time to comment.

If you play this in 5.1 surround mode, you will hear the vibes circle around your speakers. I'm going to start using more surround effects on my tracks.

Cheers,
Scott

Damn man, this is impressive! A quality piece of music and production Scott. I don't think I have ever heard this song before but I may go check it out on youtube to hear how Dizzy played it on the horn. He was fun to watch play as well.

The piano is extremely well played and a nice tone to it. Is is real or a plugin? Drums are perfect, I can hear all the parts of the kit, toms sound great and I dig the rim shots. How many mics on the kit and where did you place them, just curious?

Fine job, as usual, you are having a good year so far. I will thank you for the dl!

Hey Wayne,

Thanks a lot for your kind words. This is a favorite jazz piece, in which I've done this and another big band version done a couple years ago.

The drums are done with my Alesis electronic kit. It's much easier than trying to get a good sound out of my acoustic kit. That would be a nightmare!

Cheers,
Scott

Beautifully done here. The keyboard progression is so catchy. The drums are so wide. Are they live recorded? The sax sounds really good as well. Great work!

Hi Brado,

Thanks so much for your comment. Really glad you like it and took time to leave your kind words.

Since I play the drum parts, I'm especially more picky about their sound. I use an Alesis drum kit since it's much easier for recording than my acoustic kit. The sax is actually a VST instrument. I wanted trumpet like the original, but it just didn't sound as good as the sax.

Cheers,
Scott
