This instrumental tells a compelling story. I dont know how you did it, but those first few notes of your masterful intro perfectly capture the entire backstory. The interplay between the flute and the horn is brilliant. As far as contemplative jazz goes, it doesn't get much better than this. Well done, Mark!
That sounds absolutely fantastic again. It's all you. When I listen, I always picture a video of you playing all those instruments. That would be it! I especially love the moments when the strings come in... that's when the sound really opens up. Believe it or not... I typed this comment rhythmically to your track... I couldn't help it!
Ah Micky! Thank for stopping by. You know beyond a shadow of a doubt, You're a well respected SOUND MASTER! But I would like to dialogue with you on your critique.
The section with the strings got added right around the last time we chatted on your track. And I well know your fondness of the preverbal DISCO STRINGS LOL! Simply put, I figured that move would hit you. So I'm dedicating that section to you!
Peace,
Mark
A really enjoyable listen. Lots going on. Plenty of change/dynamism. Had it on whilst doing some graphic design and it just flowed nicely in the background.
This is a classic. Every single musician who played an instrument on this one is a beast. Those sax and flute riffs and leaks are not of this world. This one is easily a timeless classic.
Enough respect to the whole band.
Hello TrippleN97. NEWS FLASH! This is my virtual band! This is the product of a self imposed project. I've always wanted to assemble a virtual band with no restrictions. No A. I. Just laying down the tracks, then work and refine until I get the sounds in my head and heart into the project. So now with my dream system, I've discovered there's absolutely NO LIMIT for what we can do. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your impressions on the work here.
Peace,
Mark
this is very cool man! could imagine this in an anime like samurai champloo. check out nujabes if you havent already, i think youd like his music. very professional sounding man
Hey BONEZONMARZ! Its great having you here. Thank for checking the track. Im really glad you enjoyed the listen. Now for nujabes, all I can say is WOW! What a talent he was. Your anime idea sounds interesting. Take it easy.
Mark
How come I go pay $50 for dinner with live music and yet I find higher quality songs on Looperman than I hear in restaurants. Makes no sense. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this!
Nice production here ! really well balanced mate. i really dig the bass sound a call that a liquid bass because always find his own way !
Keep on good job
Jkingz! Greetings! Thanks for sharing how this one came across. I'm really glad you picked up on that bass. Much work went into that sound. Your time and feedback is appreciated big time.
Peace,
Mark
I'm well, finally finished up my Masters Degree in may 2024, taken hiatus, worked in insurance for a little while. For some reason, everytime, I post a track, it winds up posting to page two at the bottom of the featured, so thats where it is... :) Lets get it done!

Thanks for the time and listen with the compliments my friend. Come on, lets get it done.

Hello King !!! I have already listened to this track 2-3 times....but today (Dec 7) it is True Magic....man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt it....and I am not a regular jazz listener.....!!!!
I want to speak more for this track but I don't have other words.....
Cheerssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss !!!!
Greetings fanisatt! So it goes like thisAfter a good nights rest I get up and plan my day. This track wont release me. Every day I try to work on other projects on the back burner but this one has taken me to task. Even my wife listened to a couple of the new edits and said that she wanted to throw my headphones at me because she loved it! And shes my harshest critic! Thanks for sharing just how much you enjoyed this one!
Peace,
Mark
Mark, how are ya, man?
You knocked it outta the park, mister! This is like a Groove Casserole, man. It's got everything in it, cooked to perfection, and ready to serve.
Your mix is flawless in my ears. Everything sits exactly where it needs to and there's still breathing room even though the waveform is so thick.
Your profile says you play drums and keys. Are all the rest of the instruments in this track VST, or do you have other people playing on it?
Either way, this is top tier, my friend.
Take care.

V. First off, welcome to the Jazz kitchen where todays special is "Groove Casserole" with a side slice of FUNK LOL! Thanks for sharing your highly respected feedback my friend. From the drums to the grand piano I used VST's. I'm hooked on the freedom. My mission is to make midi sound as close to analogue as possible. So this one is all on me. I'm looking forward to get connected with you because of the awesome tones you use for your guitars. I just got plugged into Tonex.com. THANKS AGAIN.
Peace,
Mark
The drums are superb on this. The whole song has a very infectious groove to it. Reminds me of an early Lalo Schifrin soundtrack or something along those lines. This is a really well written track with an excellent mix too. Excellent stuff.
Greetings BullittVolante. So ok, Lalo is a beast off the leash roaming wild with absolutely no boundary's. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. I'm really glad you enjoyed your listen.
Peace,
Mark
Well you know I am a fan Mark, I simply love the music you make and of course this track is no exception! Just great, funky and super jazzy. Each instrument has a dual role, that of a member of a band and the other of a soloist. All this makes it awesome when it comes to a piece. Many bravos as always.
Best wishes, Anthony
Anthony it's always a pleasure for your stop through. I truly appreciate the feedback. Your work is a sonic feast, your opinion matters a great deal. I'm happy that what you heard proved to be a great listen.
