Description : Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim. This particular piano arrangement is from one of jazz sheet piano books I found on scribd. The electric piano is MrRay22 plugin which I played on Casio CDP220 digital piano. This is also a new piece that I learned today so it was quite tricky to get a proper touch at places and overall make the entire thing sound anywhere realistic. I tried many times and this was probably the best take. Also I am relatively new to playing latin piano music. I didn't manipulate any notes after recording - instead I added few virtual vintage amps. I choose jazz but it is a bossa nova latin style. Enjoy and feel free to comment and download.

Great playing. Nice rich harmonies a bright mood, and good percussive playing. I'd love to hear this with bass and drums, maybe congas.

Hey Alex...careful man once you drink the waters of Bossa Nova there's no turning back...it'll start with little things like buying open neck shirts with frilly cuffs and tight bell bottom trousers, soon after you'll start rolling your 'r's when you speak and drinking pina coladas by the dozen and you'll always carry a pair of maracas in your back pocket...you might even grow a moustache!(that is if you don't already have one!)....nice vibe man,I like the straight up symmetry without too much swing it's almost a folk musical rendition which adds to it's integrity....I've heard this tune what must be at least a thousand times and you've reinvented it for my ears..thank you for that!......cheers Dave :)

hi Dave!

Thank you so much for listening and a nice review!

Do not worry - I won't lose the connection with the proper rhythm (I just acquired a mechanical metronome ha!) and definitely will go somewhere further with swinging eights for sure in latin styles next days (I have few days exclusively for myself and much space as well as some perspectives on eventual developing subtleties in playing yay!).

I simply need more time to internalize the proper variations of different 'rhythm patterns' in latin styles. I am practising both comping and soloing at the moment (ok, just simple 251 licks and basic pentatonic runs exercises when comping same time lol).

I am practising 16th note funk grooves as well but this is an another story. I am far away to get the proper swing of 16th notes. Those are 2 separated and very different things (I mean latin and funk). I am still struggling with connecting rhythm ideas.

I am happy you liked my track!

hey Ronabo! thanks for nice review. I like your playing too! I simply played everything from the sheet piano arrangement but I also plan to develop an improvisational soloing skills. Lot to learn ahead haha

Glad you enjoyed the song.

hey Mykael

I'm happy you liked this little recording!

I plan to incorporate more stylistical jazz elements into my playing and will be uploading more stuff like this to looperman - we can always do a collab when the genre is jazz.

Thank you for nice words!

Best to you, Alex

Thank you Ed! I found this song few years ago - it was an old calssic version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJkxFhFRFDA but didn't plan playing any latin piano music then. I always liked that song and the latin grooves. This tune is probably one of the most famous bossa jazz songs, beside of 'Corcovado' 'Aqua de Beber' 'One note samba' and others which I want to learn as well.

I will be recording more jazz standards and want to develop the stylistical playing. Thank you for the nice words and your continous support!
Best to you, Alex

thank a lot for your nice comment! I am glad you liked the piano. there are many styles in jazz - this one is kind of latin jazz. Let's say: the bossa rhythm meets jazz harmonic language. I am still learning all this and will be posting more jazz stuff in the near future.

Well well :)

Sounds fine to me. Nice overall feeling of the Bossanova style.
:) Isn't it a kind of crime to post it here befor 2044? Antomio died 1994 .... LOL

I bet he would like it!
And i like it too :)

stay tuned

Hello Joe!

Thank you for such a nice comment!

Surely there is nothing much about Antonio to celebrate at the moment. Honestly I'm just simply playing sheet music here.
It will probably sound strange but there is a need to acquire more 'patterns' under my fingers. This is the only way I can grow musically.

I am glad you enjoyed listening!

Thanks for checking it out!

It was hard to record a bassline, the comping rhythm and filling harmonies as well as the melody on the top in such a short time in one take using 2 hands only. I like the ease emanating and the final result too. Music is a hard work for me basically.

Thank you for your support!

Hello M

Thanks a lot for your comment! I came across Getz/Gilberto performance about 5 years ago. The the book the arrangement is from is titled 'All Time Jazz Standards' and I intend to play and post the other tunes in different jazz styles as well. I can't record the real acoustic piano so that is why I experiment with it's electric emulations. Casio has weighted keys so I coud find some connections.

Glad you liked the performance.

Very smooth and subtle. Very incredible. Loving the bossa style of the piece. I could picture a light drum kit playing along gently. Thank you for sharing!

hello Ookami

Thanks for such a nice comment! This is a new style I am practising currently. Yes, I was thinking about the loop and playing along it but couldn't find anything corresponding. I didn't play with metronome but still trying to stick with the beat as possible.

Glad you liked the music.

I spent 4hours on this one. Playing keys is a hard work, what can I say. This is a good start for me into something new.

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...
