Description : This is a collab with some wonderful musicians from this site.SpellJammer and I were going to start recording this song and he had the idea of adding sax.Of course Slap Johnson was the number one choice and he was very gracious and did an excellent job...as we knew he would.SpellJammer had the core elements in place and I added several guitar parts...but it's Slap that took this to a new level.
I hope you enjoy this Looperfriends!Please comment and let me know what you think and as always visit both of these guys on the site,they're very talented and have many great tracks.Thanks,Allen

Cant believe I (WE) didnt thank you here for donating this beautiful track to the Music For The Kids Album!
Thank you, it's definitely my favourite piece of yours.
So emotive & ...well, it just makes me (& all your mixfam, loopfam & everyone who hears it) feel good!!
Stay blessed, and may life bless you even more & put a smile back on your face. And soon!
Chin up, my friend!
Marie x :D
Thank you so much Marie,appreciated but never necessary as I feel giving and sharing is only right since I've been blessed with a talent that never is a chore and wonderful talented friends also...I have no choice but to give back anytime I can and am very happy to do so!
Wow...I`m almost lost for words on listening to this one Allen...Its fantastic stuff man...You`re ready for the tour so head up this way & I`ll get advance tickets..(guess Slap would have some extra travel..Ha)...Some of the Loops biggest talent playing here & the super production values sure dont hurt the cause..Slap`s sax parts are just great, but then every other part fits to perfection too....commercial quality...and another fav (bu the time I get through your playlist my favs folder should be getting full)....a big well done to all involved...Ed
Ed!!
How did I miss this review...I gotta get my priority's straight.
Thank you so much and these guys deserve so much credit.
It's interesting how Spell and I do these tracks,he sends me the complete produced song with percussion,keys,bass..it's his melody.
I layer guitar tracks around Spell's but on this one I backed out the guitars and added Slap's sax first then worked around both of them.
It took me quite a while but working with this talent and the outcome was worth it.
I appreciate your listen and review my friend!
Allen
Thanks for this great review CyberSon!
SpellJammer had the wonderful melody and I just worked around it.
Everything fell into place when Slap joined in.
Thanks again,your comment is greatly appreciated by all involved.
Allen
Wow. This is a piece of art. The guitar is really relaxed and the beat works great with it. I can't put what I think about the saxophone into words. I can't get enough of slap's sax work. The whole song is just well put together and so relaxing. Something I would hear really late in the night on a laid back radio station.
Can't put any more praise but just perfect!
Thanks for sharing this piece with us!!!
Thanks so much Matthew!
The really cool thing about this track and Slaps part is that he played along with our track,we didn't use any loops from his awesome library..which would have been fine but this really brings him into the collaboration.
They both deserve all the credit..SpellJammer can always bring out the best in me,without him I would just play a bunch of old Van Halen licks :)
Thank you Jcan...I play by ear and just follow the foundation that is given me and SpellJammer and Slap helped me build a nice house!
I appreciate your review of this and we hope to get Slap back in our tunes.
Really enjoyed this Allen. Such easy listening. The sax does steal the show. Such excellent playing. Your perfect guitar playing and the other elements don;t go unnoticed. My hats off with much respect for three greats on this site. The best to you all in the new year. Take good care.
Gord
Gord!!!Sorry I missed your review.Thank you so much my friend,we love sharing these songs,i'm living a dream to play with these guys!
The best to you also!
Just excellent – beautiful playning on all parts and lovely arrangement. Congratulations to a one of the finest tracks on looper.
/pmk
Wow, Beautiful production my friend, everything fits just right, silky smooth all the way. guitar and sax nothing to be said but WOW, percussion, whole beat 10/10.
Sourmango!Thanks for checkin this out and commenting.
One of my favorite words for SpellJammer and Slap is smooth also.I'm glad you enjoyed it cause it was a joy for me to play on this!
At some point we hope to convince Slap to do another with us..I can't credit him enough for the magic he did on this tune!
I think this is a record for me, faved in about 3 seconds. Have you guys thought about hitting the road together? Slap is one of my favorite people in the whole world, such a nice guy and such a huge talent.
The blending of talent on this one is just heaven.
This is so good on so many different levels, it's hard to know what to say, other than....well,
Thank you Daniel!I'm always torn between my love of rock and smooth clean guitar so I'm trying to have both...if possible!These collabs have brought out some of the most enjoyable music I have ever played.
Between Kikajon and SpellJammer I'm a very lucky man!
Mate this is totally AMAZING 3 of the most talented people on the loop combining, no wonder this track is brilliant, sax by slap is spell blinding stuff, again you on the Guitar excellent as always, this is speakless stuff mate, I so hope you 3 do another collab, this is by far the most fav piece you have on the profile, add vocals to this and this should be released to the world, totally loaded with brilliance...MASSSIVE FAV GUY'S...wow thank you...Peace and total repsect to you all...I am in AWE of your talent, all 3 of you peoples....Estefano...
And a G'day mate to you Estefano!
I'm not joking when I say that we work hard on these songs,Spell and I..I thought I would never be satisfied with the mix and there was a lot to mix...lol!We do pour our hearts in this and I'm pleased when that can be heard.Slap spoiled us with his addition so maybe we can petition him back for another!
Thank you for your support,it's why we're working on ideas for the next one :)
Oh my. This is it. Yeah.. Judging from the genre it would not really be my first pick to listen to, but d@mn I'm glad I did. The delays and effects are superbly balanced, the clean, crisp tones are just amazing. Makes me lean way back in my chair, close my eyes, and really, really enjoy this (way beyond) excellent masterpiece of a track. I'm just.. wow. It took my breath away. I have no words.
Thank you very much Steinaa.I agree that genres can get in the way of some good songs and I know I've missed some great tunes myself because of that fact.
This was such a group effort.I am always pleased to start with a well crafted melody from SpellJammer,complete with all keys and percussion and his quality out the gate is fantastic so a lot of work has been done right there.I do spend long days layering in guitars around him and more time mixing,to me that's the key and eats a lot of time but I haven't found a way around it...Fun yet work,with a payoff and Slap Johnsons sax really completed the feel we were shooting for.Nothing is scripted here so these songs from Spell and I take some time to complete...we can't push em out very fast and they remain very much inspired,they inspire me to do more and I hope they do for you.
No lie my friend...I have both versions of your song Remember Me on my mp3 playlist at home...it moves me every time!
Thanks again,
Hey Becca!Thanks so much for those nice words,I do appreciate them and your talent also.When we all get caught up we really should do something together,I am a fan and need to visit you more,you went from a couple of songs to a lot...fast..I can't keep up :)
Hey - one more thing - about mixing - you had said you had to mix the sax in real time - just want to say that mixing in real time is in my opinion one of the great things to do - I love movement - when the volumes, pans and even eq's and effects are changing as I am listening to a song - to me that really adds life to a recording!! Again, great job you did on this!
Thanks again haven!I'm glad it worked...I got a little nervous at times...I thought I would never be satisfied,matter of fact I still hear things I would like to change but if I don't move on I won't ever make any more music...lol!
I see that you have lots of good new tracks, doing full speed ahead..haha!
I had a chance to hear a few songs from SlapJohnson on Mixposure radio he is amazing artist,and of course you and SpellJammer too!
I enjoyed this track, as always!
Thanks guys for share this track,
much respect!
Hello Alen!Thanks for stopping by and listening to the song and you know I appreciate your comments.
It was a pleasure to play with these guys!
You know you were the first one I collabed with on the site...I still love that song :)
true glide into a mind journey where the beauty of musical bliss and enjoyment caresses the soul as closed eyes see a crystalized sky snow covered landscapes the air sweet clear crisp as the glitter of flurry touch the face ......ahhhhh .....very much amazing track .........peace
Hi Allen - really great - especially your guitar work is fabulous - you really have a great ear for the fills behind the sax - very tasty - nice tight mix too. Great job, slap on the sax - and anyone i may be forgeting - is that a live piano or loops? it's a great sounding piano. hats off!!
Hey haven!That would be SpellJammer on keys,he does a great job.I appreciate your mix comment,I didn't realize just how much work goes into mixing.I kid you not...I have at least 8 or more mixs of this...I couldn't make up my mind and the more I mixed,the more I wanted to mix lol.One challenge was that Slap played to the track minus guitars and as I added them the dynamics changed so I had to adjust his levels real time,I couldn't just set it and leave it...lol.Another learning experience but I'm glad it payed off and you enjoyed the song!

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 : I think it's a late evening song to accompany you for a single drink.
Jazzy in most of the aspects. It is made single handedly so please consider it an experimentation for the thrill of making music.
Hope you will like it.
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 : Something a bit different from us. I (Bobo) played guitar, synth, midi bass and percs to this piano loop by LM's most excellent Rasputin. Wataya, stoned as usual, thought he heard Barbara Streisand singing. This is the result.
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?
Thank you, it's definitely my favourite piece of yours.
So emotive & ...well, it just makes me (& all your mixfam, loopfam & everyone who hears it) feel good!!
Stay blessed, and may life bless you even more & put a smile back on your face. And soon!
