Thanks Fila, this is like one of the first tracks that I said everything I needed to in under 4 minutes! I’m glad you enjoyed it and your feedback is greatly appreciated. Be safe.

You did it again! Mark, WOW! this certainly ticked all the boxes as far as a jazzy! snazzy! track goes. The sax in this beauty! is the icing on the cake for me I just love the sound of that instrument. Once again I enjoyed listening in to the max! & I have to say, this has got to be one of your BEST! that I have listened to so far & that's hard to choose because they are all remarkable. Keep up the FAB! Work maestro & keep having fun! Take Care. Kudos!
Angelus, Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on this track. Your favorite out all of the others? That’s great info as I’m fine tuning my sound and content for maximum impact. I’ve maxed out my space here on LM and I’m having to remove older tracks to upload new ones. Also I’m making preparations for my entrance into Spotify and SoundCloud. Anyway your encouragement is greatly appreciated for sure. Have a awesome and safe weekend.
This is great man love that sax. You mentioned that you were thinking of singing in a comment on one of my tracks. Don’t think this one needs any vocals but you should try it sometime. It’s 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. That’s 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.
John, ok so yep, just segway on over and put a smile on grandpa’s face by playing jazz on that piano you have LOL! I really appreciate you stopping in and giving me feedback on this track. Also the fave is not taken lightly. Have an awesome and safe weekend.

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!
Hey Mykael, it’s great you’ve 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
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.
doofus, how’s it going buddy, thanks for stopping by. When it’s tight, it’s right. You mentioning the points that you thought nice is greatly appreciated.
M.T.
Rob, Rob, Rob! What’s up my man? I see you nailed another day down. I’m honored by your feedback. The fave is epic. I well know your musical roots. Thanks for giving this the once over. TTYL.
CBC, greetings. Thanks for your stop. It’s funny you mentioned a contemporary jazz station. My wife told me the same thing. Yep she said definitely SiriusXM Watercolors. We’ll see. That’s a strong possibility. I appreciate you letting me know this listen was a good one. Be safe CBC. (that name is so cool)!

RitajustRita, hello again. Thanks for listening in and your comment. This project was a complete joy from start to finish and I appreciate you letting me know that joy translated over. Stay Safe.
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
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.
Hey Mark all your music meets my approval, it sounds wrong my first comment, I'm surprised how much I like JAZZ, not surprised how much I like yours, of course I like yours, your fresh a talent for sure and play the social part in our community too
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.
A great intro solo sax, jazzier feel as apposed to funk, I've surprised myself how much I like it myself, the transitions are so smooth, the keys being gentle and soft and a snappy beat snare and hi hat it all has its place and a nicer outro from you mark
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.
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 I’m always looking for either vintage or innovative sounding keys. On the subject of side chaining, you’re 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 I’ll 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, there’s many others. Be Safe my friend.
Hey Mark.
Congrats on your radio debut my friend.
With tracks like one mate, I'm not surprised.
This track as Robbie would say out of the park.
Brilliant.
Well done mate.
Maj
Maj, thank you, kind sir. The joy here for me is that if you love what you're doing it is bound to translate into your work. From the great input and comments from my newfound Looperman comrades to my family and friends, this has been therapeutic, to say the least. I appreciate you letting me know your thoughts on this work
Un tema muy entretenido amigo Slinky, con buenos sonidos muy agradables y amenos de escuchar. Me sigo interesando por el Funky y el Jazz gracias a ti amigo. Poco a poco me voy introduciendo en este nuevo mundo. Que tengas una buena noche compañero. Paz y salud.
Amigo mío, no tengas miedo de dar el paso. Personalmente, creo que tal vez deberías experimentar con la mezcla de un poco de jazz-funk con tu electrónica para un nuevo sonido interesante. Piénsalo, amigo. El tipo de música que nos atrae es siempre la música que mejor interpretamos. Como siempre es genial leer sus amables comentarios. De nuevo sé genial, sé bueno y sé seguro. Hasta la próxima vez mi amigo.
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.
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 : Update 8/17/2024. So I rolled this one back to the original version and added some polish. Check it out. I hope you will thoroughly enjoy the listen. By all means share your thoughts.
Description : I first discovered the iconic singer Ella Fitzgerald through my parents, my mother who was a renowned vocalist herself had a deep appreciation for the music of legendary artists. I was too young but captivated by the soulful jazz melodies that filled our home on lazy Sunday afternoons. "Summertime" Exudes a timeless touch of elegance it has a special place in my heart. For My Hubbs XXX
All Vocals By Me.
Description : Every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.
Instruments Used:
-"WELTMEISTER" upright piano (MADE IN GERMANY in 1938)
-"KAY" upright bass (MADE IN GERMANY somwhere in 1950th)
-TAMA Imperial Star + Pearl OMAR HAKIM snare + Various Ziljian cymbals.
I just put together some old ideas to see if it will work. Some vocals and brass, or guitars is clearly needed. Let me know what you think about it. Tnx
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 made me just stop working on it and listen to it for enjoyment.
Smooth Mellow funky Jazz. Uses: 0111003-djrumplestiltskin-swung-funk-drum-beat, 0087009-mrroads442-guitar-line, 0072485-michiel555-mellow-funk, 0058934-ferryterry-90-bpm-soprano-sax. Is this Funk or Jazz?
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 : I created a hip hop groove in Logic and decided to duel some Saxophones. I am playing the Baritone sax on the left pan and the Tenor Sax on the right pan.
I added some bells like a boxing match bell to give it a fight drama feel. The hip hop track itself is dope to me. The duel is cool too. Who won?
Description : I wrote this track about two years ago. I remember at the time I wrote it I was having conversations with BofD and Mark about oddball time signatures so,
I played all the instruments in different time signatures from time to time 3/4 4/4 5,6 &7/8 etc. I wanted this track to be a track where time sigs went to die.
