It seems I'd never heard this one before! Yes, that guitar is fire, but I also especially enjoyed the bass which is just funky and smooth. Great stuff as always Mark!
Hi Mark,
That's absolutely amazing again! It's incredible how you're able to pull something like that off. I imagine how hard a real drummer would have to work to keep it up. But after recently watching the entire live recording of Coltrane's "My Favorite Things," I realized what people with the right ambition are capable of.
4go De Chao is a fantastic, absolutely entertaining trip at the highest musical level! You're completely in your element.
Cheers,
Micky
Greetings Micky! Your stop, comments, and presence is an high honor. Latin drumming is extremely busy. Check out Horacio Hernandez on You Tube.
Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" is by far my favorite version of that song. I will check the documentary.
The journey aspect for this track was my full intent. I appreciate the time you took out for this listen. I'm happy you enjoyed what you heard.
Peace,
Mark
Alright! now Damn! Mark you truly are putting in the work on this one it sounded FAB! to my little ears before but you have finessed it big time. I love the percussions I really do but man, the groove makes me move! ok, this is definitely telling me I need to go take a trip to one of my fave spots apart from the carribean and it's Brazil, man this track sounds completed to me but onwards and upwards as they say and I'm guessing you still feel you need to tweak some more but as far as I can hear, stick a fork in it, it's done! but in any case Excellent! improvements on something already brill! WTG!
Haha Angelus! Work Work Work! This one has been given me the flux! But thats my zone LOL! Youre kind to take time for another stop and critique. Finally the missing pieces are coming into place. Stay tuned my friend. Peace.
Drum and percussion groove is hot!!! Cymbals are alive!! Your mixes and grooves are sensational to say the least. All soloiing is on point. Very Red Heat!!! Love it my friend. ? BPM?
UE Thanks! You're the Latin aficionado! This one is a beast to tame. I came in at a straight 115 BPM. Compare this to the early reference arrangement wise. You will notice a lot of changes. The fave is truly appreciated. Peace.
Thanks my friend for the vote of confidence/compliments about my vocals, I was born singing haha...glad you liked my track. I just love to sing, always have done. Started writing & singing from a young age & for other people then when i left college joined a band and then went into studio to record which I like I've always loved the sound of a live band, it's just different, hearing the live instruments played, we travelled quite a bit though my parents were little nervous of me being away from home, I was always looked after by the band members my parents always supported me. So I have quite a bit of experience that I'll always look back on with fondness. Nowadays I write and sing simply because I enjoy it, that's what music should be, FUN! Anyways I digress...Thanks Again & Stay Safe.
Angelus! Interesting! I get the impression you are where you would like to be musically. Theres nowhere to go but upward and onward. Keep doing what you do the way you do it! Be safe.
Great time Mark. Beautiful theme and a great band. Everyone contributed with their talent to this jazz masters' piece. I really enjoyed the listen.
Best regards, Anthony
Hi Mark,
The only thing on the ground/floor is me dancing so early this morning before heading out. Your EXCELLENT! track here is mint, loving the brass instrument and the plethora of nuances throughout hels my attention, I felt like I was in cuba just enjoying some good music...in any case as always you hit a home run! once again my friend you always lay it down *pat* when it comes to these AWSOME!!! jazzy ensemble's. I totally enjoyed my early listen before starting my day , Gotta Run! Kudos!
Angelus:)! You just went ahead and dropped something delicious! Im going to get back to my point on your track in just a minute.. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts and the fave you gave. The support you give is treasured highly. Im glad you got the day jumped off with my track. It needs more tweaking and some rearranging. Stay posted.
Now back to that something delicious. Im wrecked? Why? First let me say your vocals are par excellence! You know the smoky and sultry vibe you set out.
But Still Im wrecked. Now I know Im being redundant. Thats the price I had to pay for listening to your track.
So next time WARN ME IF YOURE GONNA SCAT! I heard your exit! Im finished. Be safe.
Hello kingmt77, excellent work my friend, there are a lot of interesting things going down in this piece and everyone of them is putting on a show....be it the guitar, the keys, percussions....its really a great piece of work....
Hola Mark,
Thanks for that sax wooo! sounding so, so, NICE!... This is such a super chilled track here with a plethora of sounds. This track certainly offers an abundance of delightful jazzy sounds, it truly is a feast for the ears.
Another GREAT one. Continue. Bravo!
que pasa mi amiga! Its always great when you grace the place with your presence. Do you think I have a sax addiction? Probably IJS LOL! Im glad you enjoyed all that you heard. The comments and fave are truly appreciated. Stay safe and be blessed my friend.
Hi kingmt77, Ah that saxophone... Love it and the keys too. Those are what stick out the most to me. Very relaxing, chilled, intelligent track you have, where there is space for everyone to get on with their "own thing". I enjoyed it
PK! The time youve taken out for this listen is valued big time. Thanks for sharing just how this one came across. The Sax Boss Slap Johnsons sound really seasoned this composition in grand fashion. Peace.
Hey, Mark! It's been quite a while since I have listened to some contemplative jazz. The piano and bass intro really draws the ear in, then that brilliant sax. The changes are so incredibly smooth. All the players are obviously top-notch. Great Production. Hat's off to all ya'll!
Hey Mykael Yep its been a minute. Your stop is appreciated big time. As you can hear the music is still musicing! I well know youre a jazz aficionado. And for this track to hit your ears just right is an honor. Thanks for the fave as well. Peace.
Awesome!!!
Love the change at 0:55
Grand Piano chords are emotional!!!
Nice changes through guitar solo.
Drums sound perfect. The ride, I can see the stick hitting the bell.
The chords and key changes are so on!!
Mark the improvisation o your tracks is superb.
Love the JH bass. GREAT LISTEN. Thanks
PEACE. UE
UE! Thanks for your stop, comments, camaraderie, fave, and the cell chop session. The twists and turns with the laser focus nuances is way too much fun. I glad you found everything to your liking. JH bass? You know! Gotta put the YELLOW JACKET on LOL! Peace
Hi Mark i'm just back myself after a long break, i seen 7 1/2 mins an thought grab a coffee and a joint, i knew it wouldn't disappoint, love the lead and the sax is off the charts, the drums and percs are not overstated they just in the pocket, the swing in moods is tight nice keys and stabbs great production too, top job mate
Paul! Where U been? Maybe a residency in Dubai? LOL. Wherever u been its a joy and pleasure for your stop thru. Thanks for sharing how this one came across. I well know this track is long winded, but I couldn't stop until everything got stated. Peace.
