Description : This is a country/folk track in a genre I don't do much, so I thought I'd give it a go. It also has some instruments I don't use much, namely the banjo, mandolin and fiddle. I got the title from a movie I saw a few months ago. Hope you enjoy, Scott.
Description : This is a kind of funk-disco-big band number that will make you think of the 70s and 80s, if you're old enough. It has all those vintage sounds so popular in this genre. I tried to maintain the sounds of the time while still enabling some updating. Even if you had never liked disco, give this one a try. It may surprise you.
Description : I usually do retro styles, but I found a great vocal track from an excellent artist, so thought I'd try something different and compose an instrumental track around it. It is an alternative or indie style track, so hopefully I did the backing for the vocals justice. My friend and collaborator, James (midiman007), did the wonderful guitar tracks...Thanks James. I hope you enjoy and leave a comment. Scott
Description : This is a fun retro jazz/funk track kind of in the style of Quincy Jones' earlier stuff when he was doing themes for shows like Bill Cosby. There's some groovy organ, guitar, bass and horn stuff going on. Hope you like and feel free to download.
Description : A little disco, a little funk, and just feel good 70s style music. Featuring some drum, bass, and guitar solos, with some groovy horns and disco vocals. Check it out...It will do you no harm!
Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.
Enjoy and download away.
Description : This one's a bit different for me, breaking away from the jazz and funk for awhile. This is sort of a dark pop/rock track, incorporating a favorite instrument of mine, the mellotron (VST.) This track kinda took on a life of it's own. I wasn't really sure what kind of track it would become, but here's the result. Hope you like it and enjoy the download.
Description : This is my second attempt to a "spy" movie kind of soundtrack. It has all the retro sounds you might expect from those early 60s and 70s films. I'm sure you older 'cats' will recognize the style, and maybe you younger guys and gals may get a chuckle out of it, so give it a listen.
Description : Although this is a brand new song, if you're over 35 and a musician, you've probably played many songs similar to this one. It's another 60s vibe which is quite usual for me. If any songwriters or singers want to tackle it, let me know and we can work something out. Love to hear your thoughts and comments.
Description : If you're old enough, you will remember the 60s and 70s 'surf' music fad, popularized by Dick Dale, The Del-Tones, The Ventures, Etc. Well, this track has remnants of those early sounds with a bit of updating. It has the recognizable guitar twang, Hammond organ, and even the Farfisa organ. I even took the song title from a 1965 surf movie, so take a trip back in time and give it a listen and let me know what you think. Downloads always available to enjoy with my tracks.
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 : A classic sounding funk/jazz number that'll make you want to move your feet, so get up offa that thang and dance till you feel betta! Hope you like.
Description : This is a whimsical jazz/funk track with some interesting lyrics. Hope they can be heard clearly. If not, LMK and I will post them. Hope you enjoy.
Description : This track reminds me of the old spy and police shows and movies of the 70s like "Mod Squad" and "I Spy," etc. It has some cool brass, scratchy guitar, and lots of drums. It has kind of a Maynard Ferguson big band style. Check it out and see if you like it.
Description : This is a song dedicated to my best friend...My cocker spaniel! Yes, she's a dog, but she's always with me when I compose my tracks. When I sit down behind my drum kit to play my tracks, she lies down in front and looks at me as if to say, "Daddy, why are you flailing around like an idiot and making all that noise?" Her favorite song is "Time of the Season" by The Zombies. She starts to howl whenever she hears it. Why...I do not know. SHE'S MY FRIEND!
Description : This is a catchy little tune reminiscent of the 60s Beatles, Ventures and The Shadows' style, but also some 70s funk and lead guitar riffs thrown in for good measure. It may remind you of the Beatles' "Day Tripper" in some parts if you're old enough to remember (hence the title.) Check it out!
Description : Have you been longing for some old 30's swing? Yeah, didn't think so! Well, check it out anyway...You may just like it. I doubt you will hear anything like this on Looperman. I tried to keep section of this sounding vintage and even put in some record scratches in the beginning and end. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Description : I'm not an expert on gospel music, but this track reminded me of the Blues Brother's movie where Belushi was in the church. It's very energetic with lots of things going on and of course, lots of drums! Jazz fans will also like this track. Give it a listen and PRAISE THE LORD!
Description : A very retro style funk/jazz tune featuring allot of old school instruments, i.e. B3 Hammond organ, wah wah guitar, and lots of funk horns. I'd love to hear what you think.
Description : Ginny, In Fondest Memory
......
When the pain is gone
And the tears have dried......
Her memory will live...On and On!
Heed this advice: The next time you see your sister, give her a big hug and tell her you love her! To all my brothers and sisters in song, your kind words are much appreciated. In some spiritual way, I envision every time my song is played, somehow it reaches her!
Description : I haven't uploaded anything in awhile, cause I have such a difficult time picking out which track to delete to fit a new one in, but I did anyway. This is a track reminiscent to the early jazz/soul tunes of the day. It reminded me of Ramsey Lewis Trio's 'The In Crowd' hence the title. It has some nice piano, bass, horns, and my signature drum solos. Hope you enjoy.
Description : This one's a little mild for most listener here, but thought I'd toss it up here in the event some may want some basic 'feel good' music. The drums give it a bit more life than your basic 'elevator music." It's kind of Latin/Jazz with some orchestral feel to it. Hope you like.
Description : This one's a bit unusual even for me. I've always loved that really old jazz, but could never get over the terrible sound quality, so I never really explored it much. This track is (somewhat) reminicent or those early tracks. It reminds me of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, hence the title (nothing to do with the Django movie.) It starts and ends with the poor quality simulation even with the record scratching (but not through out the track.) I tried to use a combination of vintage and modern sounds and instruments. I don't expect many to like this, but no need to slam me for it. Some may appreciate it.
