Description : On this one I got up the nerve to break away from the horn loops that I relied heavily on. Tada! I played the brass parts on keys and Im too excited. Had to call in the keyboardist heavyweight JYNXZ to lend his expert support on the B3. I also beefed up and refined the drum mix and added some mastering improvements. Please let me know your thoughts on this improved version.
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. This one is especially sweet to me - i hope you will enjoy to listen it as much as me while making it. :) UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!

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 : 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! Hope you like
Description : My last LP very jazzy, in the spirit of Bugge Wesseltoft, one of the best actual electro jazz man. And if you want more about me, my album is now available on my bandcamp!

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...

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 : 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 : Jazzy trip hop.
Every instrument is performed and recorded live. Piano, double bass, drums.
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...

Some people just got it. Then some people GOT IT GOT IT, this is where you fit in. you have raised my motivation to an all time high Mark. Thank you for that last email. I appreciated it. I have been letting it marinate. Then I listen to this one that I missed and realize I'm going to have to go in to my old man music vault and pull out some STUFF on you. LOL. Thank you Mark for understanding. Will email or call soon.
I came back just for seconds, thirds, and fourths! I haven't gone to my favorite jazz haunt in many months, and this is the closest I can get to it, for now. Thanks so much, Jazz King of Looperman!
LovePeace&Light,
Mykael
Well, if people don't know about MARK the Jazzmaster they better ask somebody!...flipping hell I literally just lay down on my beautiful wooden floor with my lovely scatter cushions, got comfy & closed my eyes and just listened to this whole remarkable jazziness what a trip! seriously, I'm floored by this tasty composition, I think you know by now my friend I say what I mean and mean what I say & not afraid to give credit where it's due. When I tell you this whole track is BOMBASTIC! and finessed to a ~T~ then you know what time of day it is.
It's the JAZZMASTER! time to show us all how it should be done. Exceptional Work! indeed and much enjoyed! catch you on the next musical go round. Bravo & take care.
Angelus
what do you want me to tell you !!! great job Mark!
Michael
All this from '7' notes and its variations. lol. WOW. Brother, whatever you are doing, keep doing it. This is pure unadulterated MUSIC. PEACE. P.S. AND SOME DRUMS. LOL.
I love Jazz, and your track, great job!!
Alien.
This is a sweet track kingmt77.
Hey MT I loved this first time the horn was delicious, but I can here a difference straight away, and by that I mean it sounds familiar but different somehow and everything you post is worth a listen anyway, if they love music they will love you too
fierce stuff! this one takes the cake and burns it!
oh my goodness, man this is like fucking impeccable. but, jesus the mosquitoes!
You had me dancing in my chair for six and a half minutes. I love the flow of music, all the different parts work so well together. And the drum sections that seem to kind of divide it into thirds are really great. Fantastic work all around.
The low end on this is so heavy it sounds like a squadron of WWII era bombers flying through the mix. That's cool. Love the flute solo. Intricate, complex and as beautiful as always my friend.
yeah, how did I miss this one, my friend? that bass and percussion was almost giving me an udu drum-like feel. In my mind, I was substituting that percussion as I listened. That sax @ 1;46 was perfect. You have a great sense of percussion placement and I appreciate that about your work. I would love to hear a remix of your work incorporating some world instruments as I just think it would add to the flavour of the brew you have been concocting. Food for thought ehh?
badass
Omg, the whole thing sounds amazing, but I've had a lifetime long love of the B3 and it was so well deployed here. Were any of these virtual instruments or did you record everything directly?
Dang man, you just keep putting out this great music. So many things to mention that are so cool, where do I start. Mix is tight, instruments all sound great. Tasty ear candy....again!
Wayne
Hey Mark.
I'm really sorry my friend I don't know how I have missed this one. I think I have said it before your talent is incomparable.
This track speaks for itself mate.
Wonderful sax and drums.
Great mixing too.
Well done my great friend.
Maj
Mark yet again top top marks excuse the pun, you really are a gem when it comes to jazz and funk the Bass is fire the sax and trumpet are brilliant as usually, you really know how to keep the listener enticed with these sounds excellent production and arrangement mate you really are on fire and a joy to listen to.
Love those bass slaps.
Very nice. I like that you manage to find unorthodox complexity within a 4/4 context, and I think everyone could use more yazz flute.
What services, if any, do you use to get horn solo clips?
This is one of the MOST brilliant pieces of music to come out of Looperman in a very long time. This is what I call cerebral jazz--it's not just something you listen to, but rather it's also music that beckons you to contemplate every note and nuance. Were this track was for sale, I would have gladly paid the price. Well, done, sir!
LovePeace&Light,
Mykael
Gran tema amigo Slinky, Me has hecho disfrutar de lo lindo con tu pista, ese saxo es fantstico, igual que la linea de bajo y esa poderosa batera. Estas consiguiendo meterme poco a poco en tu mundo. Gracias hermano. Que tengas una buena noche. Paz y salud.
nice trumpet, good job
Woo Hoo - love it - amazing and totally professional sound
Nothing out of place and everything at a pace
+ It all comes together beautifully AND super funky too!
: )
Masterful, perfect, complete.
Super track again. Excellent sound. How long have you been doing Jazz? Is this what you started with or some other genre?
