Description : This is the last track our good friend
Michel Martineau worked on with us. We lost him to the great big band in the sky a few weeks ago. We will certainly miss him and the beautiful sound of his clarinet. Rest in peace our friend! This is a fusion style jazz track which features Michel Martineau on clarinet, Franco Q on guitar, bass, composition and arrangement, Scott Burkholder on drums, arrangement, mixing/mastering, and Dan Rosati on sax. Hope you enjoy and download.

This is some amazing jazz, which happens to be right up my alley! I love the way this is recorded and mixed throughout! The mix has a very live feel... I mean if I move around, the speakers give me the impression that the band is staying put, and I'm moving about the room. I like that. Very sorry to hear about your friend and band mate. This is a good recording to remember him by. I guess the only thing which I could wish to be added to the performance is an organ, but that is only my personal obsession. Ha ha. Thank you for sharing this awesome piece! Fave!

Thank YOU, Spivkurl, for checking us out and leaving your kind words.

This was mixed in 5.1 surround sound, so that 'live feel' you're hearing may be a result of this. If you listen to it on a surround sound system, it is really noticeable. Thanks for mentioning this BTW. Nice to know it's being noticed.

Ciao,
M.

Wow! What a beautiful way to pay tribute to a fellow musician,
So sorry for your loss and it appears that he was not only a great musician, nut also a wonderful friend. In terms of the track, I loved everything about it since I am a big lover of jazz. It has sort of an avant-garde feel to it, which is great. And all the musicians contributions on this collaboration are really top notce.

I really enjoyed this track, great work.

Best Regards

Thanks so much, Dennel. Really glad you like it and took time to comment.

I'm glad you noticed the avant-garde feel. I almost put this in the description, but wasn't too sure if many of the community would know what it was. The 'fusion' genre is many times incorrectly chosen for tracks here, so jazz descriptions are not well know.

Ciao,
M.

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.
