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

    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!

    wow...this one goes back a long ways...I don`t know when it originated but I recall hearing it in my youth (just after the last ice age...haha)...very nicely done Alex (as always) and salute to you for taking this one on........great job...Ed

    Reply by promenade2239

    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.

    Sounds fine to me. Nice overall feeling of the Bossanova style.

    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.

    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.

Description : This song highlights a few different styles of jazz. First it starts with a kinda early 20s and 30s groove. Than it melds into a New Orleans style. Than into a sort of Maynard Ferguson big band jazz/rock groove, and finishing off with the 20s and 30s style again, all held together with some cool horns and bass. All n all, it's...Pretty Cool!

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 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 : "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...
