Hello King !!! Funky - funky - funky ...................!!!
Pure pleasure man !!
I wish you a happy new year..!!!
Cheersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss !!
I started listening and I too thought of Herbie. Switched into comment mode and see Aaron beat me to the punch. Ah well. Funky jazzy goodness right here. Cheers Zoot.
Zoot! It's good you stopped through. I cut my jazz teeth on Herbie. His sound is still way to cool after all these years. Thanks for the compliments. It's good you enjoyed your listen.
Peace,
Mark
Brilliant composition - you and Jazz are so synergistic - like fish and chips, salt and vinegar, beer and crisps...A brilliant composition - really love the bass in partic.
Mark, how are ya man? I thought I smelled some more funky goodness coming from the kitchen!
Honestly, I don't really listen to a lot of funk or jazz. Not because I don't like it, but because I just never really think to. I really need to change that. I don't have a lot in my experience to compare this to, but from what little I DO know, it kind reminds of some early Herbie Hancock. Not that it needs comparison, but sometimes it's nice to know that your work holds weight.
Excellent work, my friend!
Take care.
Aaron.
Aaron! What's good buddy? So just go ahead and take that A Grade for picking up on Herbie's vibe. For right now I'm locked into a jazz/funk mode because of the huge challenge for keeping the groove tight. I'm beginning to feel the winds of change. Gratitude for the stop and comments,
Peace,
Mark
I don't know the exact why, but this track of you brought to my mind Maceo Parker, excellent as always, everyone in the band is a true artist and master of their instruments. Simply awesome.
Merry Christmas and of course peace !
Anthony thank you kind sir for your stop and reaction. It's really great that you enjoyed what you heard. Maceo is also in my musical DNA. Happy, safe, blessed, and prosperous holidays to you and your family.
great intro Mark, i love it as it picks up the bounce and slap, great bass too, instruments purr as usual, guitars brass keys and drums, liked that bassy transition, then its all out till home, i know this will be improved and the instrument volumes will be softened in places and given there own space maybe, i liked that guitar riff tin the second half, that was lit, but i here the makings of another Jazz Juggernaut
Paul! Thanks for the stop and chime in. This W.I.P. will definitely get some upgrades and improvements as I'm still in that learning curve with a bunch of new plugins. By all means stay tuned, It's gonna get wild.
1.000.000 likes just for the entrance Mark.......!!!!!
WOW it is a great artistic madness man !!!!
There are no other words....I can only feel it..........
Merry Christmas King ! Cheerssssssssssssssssssss !!!
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.
