Magic Carpet - Planetjazzbass

Luv this tune!!! always... thx for rockin... Bud

oh! that bass sounds good.

this was a bit of a cool tease for me. tantalizing my senses, keeping me on the edge of "whats next", from sax to flute...

a cool mix of instruments, simple, and that breakdown, mwuah.

it was only for a moment but my "getaway" was worth the listen.

This tune sounds so familiar, couldn't tell you why though. Maybe b/c its been floating around on the loop as long as it has (I'm sure this spawned a few mixes or extension collabs). The groove of this takes me back to 80s detective shows (or 70s flicks). And though the primary focus was the bass & horns here I'm actually digging some of the other stuff that went behind this (like the flutes & chimes or SFX). Really adds to the atmos (takes it in a completely different direction from the main IMO). Nicely done mate. Lates!

Where is James Brown? Something about this song reminds me of Funk! One of my favorites right here. Great.

Oh boy, I certainly did enjoy my ride on the carpet! I'm so glad to have had the time to listen to the music of such a talented artist as yourself!

Fantastic arrangement and expert playing (I read that you play the music, not looped). A stunning piece of work Sir. I look forward to listening to more.

oh man this is just too kewl - great work- yer one talented musician - or is this a team of folks? LOL - great bass sound and playing - also dont know if you built this around any loops or if all live playing - but either way is amazing!!

that was a top ride i went on right thur,really enjoyed that pjb,,mal

I absolutely love the atmosphere of this track. Makes me want to get up and dance, haha. The horns give it an almost 1950's feel at first. The whole mix honestly sounds like it was done in a recording studio and I think it sounds great overall :)

Nice job mate!!! felt like i was in the Amazon!!!

Jazzy completely.
Welcome to the world of crazy music !
Thanks much for this one.

This is a great mix... Really like all the great sounds that you've put into it... Now I understand why your name is planetjazzbass, sounds great keep up the good work!

thats some serious bass and sax going on there, awesome!!! love the percusion too.. You really do feel lilke you're on a funky magical ride listening to this track, love it. cant say much else that hasnt already been said.

-FT-

this is indeed a fun piece. the drums are divine and the horns so sublime! i have no idea how you manage to paint such a clear picture of this ride in my head. slap's line ever present like the miniature landscape whizzing by below. oooh...and the flute like a playful butterfly flying beside waving 'hi'...so much to see on this magic carpet ride. i want to fly again and again.
i have much to learn from you. uber kudos and cheers for the ride!

Sounds like a riff we used to warm up with in high school band. So in which direction do I genuflect to you and the holy Slap Johnson.

I knew this was going to be cool from the get go with the percussion groove, then bass, sax, building into pure magic. You and Slap can't go wrong. A tight jam indeed, very cool man. Love the new avatar too. Cheers!

OMG! WHAT A GREAT COLLA GROUP! PLANT AND SLAP KILLIN THE JAZZY FUNK! I LUV IT GUYS GREAT WORK AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE BOTH OF YOU FOR AL THE GREAT LOOPS AND RYTHUMS! TRUE ARTISTS YOU TWO AREW! MAD RESPECT TO THE BOTH OF YOU!

It's always nice when you've sort of seen someone around the site, online sometimes, mentioned in posts, so you know they're gonna be good. And then you eventually click play on one of their tracks - ah, refreshing. Very cool, this planet of jazz bass. Definitely diggin. I've gotta turn a couple of my friends onto you, they're gonna love this. Jazz man!

Excellent brass and wind work. The brass sounds real, what's the deal? Is it true/

Hi Planet, This is great work - very discursive. Excellent outside soprano sax and your bass is very like Victor Bailey - super track.

Me encanta!! me la quedo Gracias !!!

Very nice track!
That bass playing is incredible and the arrangements are great,very professional.Think I'm already addicted to that tune.
Thanks for the ride

French Kid

nice magic i want to get on the ride againnice track.
check out that toxicxvoltage feature i got 1

goes without saying that the bass & horns are awesome and very well arranged and done with quite the finesse. but you really fill the track out with the ambient sounds in the background that arise, as well as the curious sounds that accompany as accents. the beginning and end are awesome too I forgot to mention.

that breakdown around 1:50 is soooo dope too. great percussion. awesome production. 10/10.

i envy your bass skills.

Sweet. Had to say something as I've faved it.

ah this is just what the doctor ordered. you have done a great thing here! love the birds and what you've done with slaps horn. great slide on that fat jazz bass!
ever humble,
neil

dude, this reminded me so much of jaco and WR but seen through an almost ambient/Material kaleidoscope, man a friend of mine had a real nice one when we were little kids..Slap Johnson sounds great, beautiful tone...wish we could jam in the same room together :)...amazing work man..
thanks for sharing your artistry!

victormusic01x...in the nyC...mmmm mmm mm

WOW, PJB U DA MAN!!! Very infectious grooves going on here. And I really dug how you've incorporated/sustained the notes during the changes in order for the listener to hear and feel the full ambiance and harmonization of the instrument. Not to mention your sound and voicing are indeed quite extraordinary. As always with Slap doing his thing, this makes the track an all around top flight production. I'll take that ride anytime brother, great creativity, great job.

D

man that's a nice carpet!

how much?

bass work is incredible. i can never get the same vocal quality in my bass as you do, but i guess that goes back to the old adage "it's not the instrument, it's the player"

horn work is amazing btw.

i am searching for words, when the music is right there.
no need for words when you have this resting on your mind.

lol... implemented soo well!

tugs on the edge of analog goodness! great filters and use!

lol.. mr.e should totally play drums

you know, i am thinking about doing a tack that is just a drum solo.
thanks for inspiring me and being a very good human!

being a fellow bass player....i definitely appreciate the subtlety of the bass approach and the trills, voicing of the fretless bass here.

definitely grabbed my attention. do you listen to amon tobin, squarepusher, or mocean worker (adam dorn) at all? i hear adam dorn all over this track. that's a good thing (for me, anyways).

weather report, meet adam dorn.

very nice job. dig the flutes and the subtle movements within the piece. you've succeeded in making me feel that i should get to the woodshack and pull the bass out. :)

what a ride!awesome bass as usual mate, and Slap just sets the mood with the sax. great colab

Whoa, Dave... What a sweet ride. Excellent production. I think the bass is topshelf and I love Slaps horns. 5 stars outta 5

Hi Dave,

Say, just getting around to review a couple of your tunes here. After that last Van Halen song I posted, I had so many reviews to answer back too.

Anyways, your giving that Jazz bass a workout. It's nice to hear that kind of playing. Slap did a great job as well as he always does. Horns add a lot to a song.

I like this tune a lot, but doubt that I could play this type myself. More like Jazz which I never got into.
Great job here and I commend you both.

At the moment, I am trying to duplicate a guitar sound I have heard on a couple songs. One from Shania Twain and Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana fame).
I am guessing it uses a combo of a Line 6 POD unit and a VoX wah-wah pedal held halfway down to give the unique tone. Guess I'll have to dig my Vox pedal out that I bought in the 60's.

Take care,
Randy

Man you are one hell of a Bass Player! I had a perfect carpet ride to the end!! The way you incorporate your bass line into your songs is outstanding Man I enjoyed another one!!

Fila

This is great! I'd believe it was professional! The beginning was great, but after the first few seconds it drags just a bit, but was still extremely well done! The rest of the song more than made up for it! I might even listen to this regularly! :)

(P.S. Pardon my spelling, please)

Hi Dave, well I think you know pretty much by now, that I will always jump aboard any mode of transport offered by your good self. I just love your bass style and sound. It's infectious!!! I also love your arrangements and productions, so my job was again the easiest of tasks. I hope you like the clarinet at the end....

Cheers Slap...(Ali Baba)lol..

Awsome track man. Im really digging this melody. Great job.
