Eureka Frank....!!!! When a virtuoso plays solo for an audience... he simply does whatever he wants! That same person, however, would act differently as a member of an orchestraprioritizing the overall soundsometimes even restraining themself to such an extent that his/her own virtuosity is no longer apparent! In your track, King... I think its clear now ... that a whole group of virtuosos has come together, each doing exactly as they wish... and yet, the final result is absolutely flawless ! Cheerssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss !!!
fanisatt! Thank you for the swing back. The freedom we enjoy to express our creativity and turn that into some decent sounds is full on LIBERATING! I appreciate your additional feedback, reactions, and perspective.
I always tell people that Jazz is my first love musically. They cant understand it but I began as an intent listener with a keen focus. Tracks like this are walks thru the park while attempting to remember every detail and attempt to recall it. It can be done but it takes many tries! Amazing work on this.
ArtOfficial. Greetings and welcome to my spot. I've seen you in the Loop traffic on your production grind. A good friend and fellow Looperman, a pro in the music industry Cosmo stated that "Mastering jazz is a must if you're going to max any other genre". The fact that jazz is your first love is a strong indicator for your success at what you're doing. My issue ................. I'm stuck in jazz school LOL! Thanks for checking my track, I appreciate the comments. I'm gonna check your catalog out shortly.
Hola Mark! Thanks for being such a solid supporter of our work, and many omuthers too. That helps us all reach even more like minded people, our numbers grow a little more everyday.
Sick bass man. I haven't heard much that sounds like this, I like it. It's a little different , and a nice change of pace, anyway. Nice work man!
SQUADD! Now you know the crew makes it so easy. No pretense, no politics. Just good music wrapped in your own and unique creativity. I will do my due diligence in keeping on the strength of the love and respect we have for one another. And that expressed through our music. So it's back to work. Oh I almost forgot, thanks for checking my wild-N-out track. The fave I receive humbly.
Hey Mark! I finally took a proper listen to 'Side Hustle', and man, this is high-level jazz-rock! That early 80s fusion vibe is incredible. The syncopated drums drive the rhythm section so tightly, and those piano parts combined with the saxophone solo are just top-notch. And having Bassist Extraordinaire MonoNeon on board makes it even more specialsuch a solid groove. Really inspiring stuff, keep it coming!
G.G.G.! Thank you for your stop, time, and critique. The music and sounds affected me during the era you mentioned thats been permanently etched in my music brain. You just get it if youve been there. I appreciate the compliments and taking a trip back with me.
Hello Mark, as always, your brilliance shines through. This concentrated musical genius is a joy to listen to and, if fortunate, to watch as well. Beyond the skills, it is the inspiration and imagination that fuel all this knowledge and I think this is the hidden inside the track my brother refers to.
Greetings, Anthony
Hello Anthony. Thanks for the stop. It's huge this listen went well for you. The elements you shared that popped is the reason making music is so enjoyable. And we're just getting started.
Ok Frank , I wanted more of this and it is difficult for me to explain the reasons in detail but.....I think you use a magic jazz prescription man , oh yes , something hidden inside the track , because I listen to this once more and I will do it again & again some other day trying to explain my internal feelings listening to it !!!! Have a nice day King !!
Greetings fanisatt. Interesting perspective. A number of elements came into play and that with a tightness. It took work but the payoff is you enjoyed my effort. Thanks for sharing how this resonated. The fave is appreciated.
I don't think im capable of spitting out words that can describe this one. And it comes down to feel - this feels like a brand new and unique experience for me. The fun part is figuring out why. Superb Mark
Aaron! In this music business, there is no limit. Just like you We be reaching and invading the unknown landscape called musicality! The enjoyment is the reward within itself. Thank you for stopping through. The fave is appreciated.
I knew I recognized that Bass style.
I see you went ahead and got down
with this track. I'm pretty sure I haven't
heard the rhythm you're using at1:10-1:30
before. The Drums are just crushing it, I mean
really damn! I know you could have gone another
3mins at least, I wish you would have lol.
Great track..Faved...
Rob! It's really good you caught this latest iteration. I per your suggestion pumped the breaks on the BPM! It's huge honor for your stop and keen observations with the fave. Let's keep this music thing rolling!
Ive got to say, I hear some African humba-tumba around 3:27, and I love that added vibe! Dont bother Googling humba-tumba, though. Its just my way of describing that African music feel around that spot, haha. Love it, man!
Hey Richard! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Ive shaped then reshaped to bring it into full focus. Im happy you enjoyed your listen.
In for a penny in for a pound. Just listened to Jynxz's track so why not? This is brilliantly constructed and performed and the sound is amazing. That pseudo guitar is fire by the way. And the sax etc. Amazing what can be done with vst. All the best Bobo.
You really let loose on this one! Playing all the instruments (Vst/Midi) gives you full control of what we hear but, you have to play it! Lol.
This track is a wild cosmic melodic ride into spaces I wasn't prepared for.
The way the rhythms and main melodies drifted apart and then back together was incredibly satisfying.
What's good Rob? Thanks for stopping through and your impressions on the work work work here. It's good to know this listen proved to be a worthwhile one. I'll be touching bases with you soon.
Now everyone knows why we call Mark "The King". We are going to get you on a wider platform, Spotify, etc. where millions more people can enjoy and appreciate your talent. This is a brilliant and entertaining track. Excellent production, arrangement and mix. Your talent keeps growing and growing. Proud to have you as my brother. Congratulations on this track, Cosmo
Thanks Brother. Glad you got the opportunity for this listen. Ive been eyeing the platforms you mentioned. Bandcamp is all set. The feedback is greatly appreciated.
Your artistry brings out exceptional musicality, with an abundance of energy and passion that always delights the listener. Fantastic job as always, Mark.
Best regards, Anthony
