    This is great man love that sax. You mentioned that you were thinking of singing in a comment on one of my tracks. Dont think this one needs any vocals but you should try it sometime. Its fun. Keep up the great work M.T!

    BONEZONMARZ, greetings. Thanks for taking time out for this listen. The sax here on top of the groove imparted life into this track. This one I wrote back in fall of 2020 and probably the first one that after listening to it objectively, my confidence level rose. Yep I shut my computer off and proof listen on my iPhone. I cannot proof any of my music on the computer. Thats how I shift from mix brain to master brain. I take notes then back to the DAW to finish. Singing.. my family says yes but maybe some day. Be safe and have a great weekend.

    This is brilliant. I love the sax. Jazz is not something I listen to pretty much unless I am at my grandfathers house. Haha. Or when I'm on looperman. Gave it a favorite.

    However this got bumped up, I am so thrilled it did! That sax is sexy good, and I love the way it weaves in out through the piece. That sax is soooooo in the pocket, it's goosebumpy, and then that Rhodes--total bliss. How you managed it without coming off dated is magical. The fade out is bonus! I would pay tons of cash to hear (and watch) this being played live. Well done, you!

    LovePeace&Light,

    Hey Mykael, its great youve stopped thru. This one was a breakthrough composition for me. The one where I took a simple melody, a bass with a touch of drive, that sweet sax, the in the cut Rhodes, and the tempo balancing drums. And all in 3 1/2 minutes. Plus my wife who is my harshest critic loves it! Thanks for checking this out. And have a awesome and safe weekend.

    Hey M.T. I didn't catch this one when you first dropped it. Fantastic work, as always! My God, I love that organ sound.

    The thing I notice most is a little difficult to describe, but the rhodes does a fantastic job of tying the piece together and keeps the energy level up with all those crisp dotted rhythms. And I really love the way all the various solo instruments, the sax in particular, always fit into the spaces that it leaves. It's a really subtle way of making sure that all the instruments feel unified but don't step on each other's toes at the same time. Hope that makes sense lol

    Great job bro!

    Killick, greetings my friend. It's great hearing from you and I trust that all is well with you and yours. When I first dropped this one, I only had it up for one day. To put it into a rotation later. I'm glad you got a chance to hear it, especially after I did some remastering touches. I agree wholeheartedly the best sounding mix is that one where the instruments have their own perspective space. I never aspired to become a composer, writer, or arranger. I was content just drumming. Then I started messing around with some loops and this DAW. At this point, T realized I could assemble a virtual band and basically shape the sound any way I wanted with any instrument. The Rhodes is one of my favorite instruments to listen to. So I use it often for the tonal quality which gives my mixes a nice layered sound and pairs nicely with the other instruments for this genre. Thanks for your interesting perspective, compliments and time. Have an awesome and safe weekend my friend.

    bas tone is amazing, low end perfect with this little dirt on mid and highs and rhytm is perfect. This thing is jazz funky af. The intro from organ reminds me a bit of work from Ray Manzareks" riders on the storm" and you put in a nice context. The Tempo of your productio is really nice done, it drives a lot and drum work and balance is perfect. i like this little solo on 2:50, you let the drums breath and attack. The Snare is awsome, it forces you but also let you chill. Urban Jazz vibes, ready for something more. The whole mix is smooth and the listeners can understand your music and your ideas. i shake my banana

    Reply by kingmt77

    BananaLu, as you hear, the saga continues. With this one you heard all of the nuances like the dirt on the highs and mids. The drive and chill. And the BPM too. This one was a joy which I laid the drums down first then the bass. The keys per my ears had to be perfect so a lot of work went in for the proper sound like reverb and exciters and a Leslie on the organ etc. I had a real blast with this whole production. So do me a solid. Get the banana, go to the mirror and shake that banana at yourself for being perfectly astute in your assessment of this piece! Be Safe and Be Cool.

    dimestop, you are total encouragement to me. Thank you for the time you take out to listen, and your in-depth commentary. When you describe what you're hearing, you capture the essence of the matter totally. This feedback is necessary for me to heed so I can improve what I'm doing and also be of some assistance to any of our comrades. I believe we musicians were born with music in the innermost depth of our being, and that music must be expressed or we can be most miserable, and think of what our listeners are missing out on. Music is the language of life! So let's live. and speak music. Ok Im exiting philosophical mode! Be safe.

    I think you succeeded! Some great keys in there, liked the demented organ after the two minute mark. Side chaining? Haven't delved into that yet but I think I need to.

    kingmt77
    Reply by kingmt77

    Hey Zootman2u, I trust that all is well with you. Thanks for listening and your feedback. For me the right keys can make a song just right. And Im always looking for either vintage or innovative sounding keys. On the subject of side chaining, youre going to have to check the process out. I can be pretty kick and bass guitar heavy. That can create low to mid low conflicts. So in one case I would like the kick to punch through in the mix and not turn muddy of lose definition. So Ill set my compressor starting with a fast attack on the bass track and side chain the kick track signal into that compressor so the bass will duck every time the kick triggers it. This is one application, theres many others. Be Safe my friend.

    I'm so glad I pestered you into releasing your archives onto the world. All that gold collecting dust.

    Lots of artist make great things, and simply don't have the courage to publish them. It's a drop in an ocean of information, and the track will never be perfect, because perfection doesn't exist. I know this doesn't apply to you much, but I have been especially seeing this with "fix my mix."

    Also, I got kicked out of a band last year because I told them they should've wrote more than 5 songs in 15 years, so maybe its just me :P

    Artists need to know that it is 90% execution and 10% talent. Believing in yourself has nothing to do with it (flea markets are full of self help books for a reason).

    Great track, I feel like a broken record, sorry for the rant. Looking forward to more.

    kingmt77
    Reply by kingmt77

    bringer, so the dilemma here for me is finding the right balance between good and best. Mix and mastering wise for example with my earlier works I didn't sidechain my bass guitar with a signal from my kick. Being self-taught I didn't see the need to get cooperation between the two instruments frequency range until I ran into conflicts. Now just by sidechaining, I've gained definition and eliminated mud. So I then go back and do some refining to add polish to some earlier works. You know we could go on for hours on this subject. Thanks, for your listen and interesting observation. Peace.

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...

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

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.

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...
