When I see the genre blues, I'm always scared a bit...you know same chord structures, solos, clap and again :-)
But this is a bit chillis blues with the tasteful play of Ed and with those key solos...so it's cooler than the other tries here...
Flute and sax are the highlights of this wonderfully smooth jazzy gem! Brilliant playing and production for the hugely pleasing retro feel! Excellent work, Pat! Faved!:)
Thanks for the nice words. I have been using some my keyboard sounds vs VSTs for the horn parts. Discovering the keyboard has some fairly realistic wind instrument patches. PDMuzak
Incredible production! Everything is completely smooth and beautifully constructed. The intro reminded me of the Phantom of the Opera. Jazz is one of my favorite genres to hear, and this did my ears justice. I love the great sounds of all of the woodwinds being played. Thank you for sharing!
This isn't my kind of genre but there's some really good playing here. Also excellent, smooth production. A very clean sound and a ton of musicality. Very 70s sort of lounge easy listening.
Very consistent vibe and groove throughout but it works well.
Thanks for nice comments. This song has been nagging me in the back of my mind for awhile , so I had to lay it out to leave room for new material. PDMuzak
That little section around .25 in reminded mw a wee bit of swinging shepherd blues (even though its entirely different)...just the chiffy flute lead I guess (my age is showing)...I have known of your playing talent for a long time Pat....but your composing talent is certainly on display in this one...I suppose its not something (or a genre) that a majority of LM folks may recognize,...but man...you are one rare talent...and one for whom I have the utmost admiration and respect...I really did enjoy the listen to this one...definitely a fav....a tip of the hat to you my friend...I`ll mail you on an idea I have....Ed
thanks Ed. Lately I have been working a lot of overtime in rotating shift work. Which leaves me no time. The obscure thing about it is when I am short on time my creative process is actually enhanced. When I sit down for 4 hours of uninterrupted time , my mind goes blank. Go figure. Pat
We can't all be the Allman Brothers but it's sure fun to try :p Just love seeing all the blues on here lately!! Makes me want to record another one myself B)
You are a talent to be reckoned with Pat...they should be playing you on my radio instead of the stuff thats there....so get yourself booked into a venue around here & I`ll buy a ticket (& tell everyone I know) and come listen to you all night....its classically good my friend with your own special spices added to bounce it up a few more notches...I like the way you seem to be able to walk through the additional keys in those transitions....o.k.... standing ovation from this ol boy out on the prairies....keep em coming.....Ed
The last tune I heard was .... The Way You Look at Me.
Then this .... I'm still sitting in the same sleazy male dominated hedonist club as before .... and I'm loving it!
Sounds like the blues to me, made me sad as hell. :( lol
I think some compression to the mix might do this a world of good but it works the way it is. Nice separation of the instruments, they all have a place and job to do and it's all good. Well done!
Hi Pat,
Listened to this on a sunny Thursday ... and it works very well! ;-)
Outstanding track:
- the bass line is a real highlight!
- drums are simply perfect
- your solo work is brilliant!!!!!
You manage to solo for 8 minutes on a simple sequence of chords and it never gets boring. WOW!
The sound of sax and guitar is very good: in some parts it could be mistaken for the "real thing".
Once more a prove that you are a super musician.
Ciao, Domenico
Thanks for the kind words. The drums were actually dubbed from my keyboard. It took a lot mixing to create a real drum sound. I couldn't find a proper slow 6/8 blues drum loop so I just settled for the keyboard drums.
Hey,
Nice job, An awesome relaxing song, and not the boring go to sleep kind of relaxing, the kind that keeps you excited till the end of the song.
the electronic instrument at the end of the song makes it even cooler than a cliche chill music.
as the other guys who had commented before me, I believe no lead is needed, but it's your song and you know better what you have in mind than me and I'm certain what you have in mind is pretty awesome.
keep it up
Thank you very much for the support. This is actually a section from a suite that I had the I cut out from. Maybe when I get motivated, I'll complete the entire suite and post it. Peace. PDMuzak
Hi Pat again...PM stands for Private Message...I have already sent it to you via your Looperman profile and you should have it in your e-mail....didn't you get it yet? Check your mail and tell me if it's not there...
Hey MrWolf , Nice to hear from you. I think you solved my problem. I never thought of the sax part. I'm going to give that a whirl. How is the little one doing? I bet it's not so little anymore. Kids grow real fast. Thanks for the comment. Your friend in music. PDMuzak (pat)
pretty chill music, i think that leads are not needed here,,
it started like some horor track but then it changed to something relaxing with good vibes, good job man!
Thanks for the kind words. I did this 2 years ago and almost deleted it from my drive and decided to mix the clunky leads out that I had. It seems to be a lot cleaner without them. PDMuzak

Very good song: I like it even without leads.
Of course a warm-sexy Sax part would be the icing on the cake here.
Well done.
