Chick sitting next to me said "that's the kinda jazz that will make a girl throw panties across the room..." in case you were wondering.

That's lovely! I really enjoy how you keep coming back to tracks and improve on things that are already perfect. Great horns you've got there!

OOOhhhh those delicate ear-Candy notes in the beginning had me hooked and then in comes my fave instrument the sax which just had everything on this super! classy smoothhhh!!! ride. That change at 1:40 just opened it all up for me also. What a bluesy! Smoothie! right here made me feel like I was getting dressed up to the nines with this sweet jam playing in the background to get me in the mood for a great night out at some classy! venue, well my friend, If I have never told you before you have so much class it's unreal & comes through in your AMAZING! Compositions, now this is what I call a Hot! Track & a Fave to follow. Bravo!

Mark, this aint fair. You didn't have to do me like this. Carpet keys ally cat bass and melting saxes working the stereo field to perfection, what a perfectly made CHOCOLATE CAKE OF A TRACK. Sweet one player. This track reminds me of when I was younger playing smooth jazz in the clubs, when the sax player was doing his thing, I would choose a sexy lady to kik it with before returning to the stage to do a blazing solo. This one was very well put together. The song form was perfect for the simplicity of the track. You know I'm coming SOON. LOL PEACE. T576 OUT.

i can hear the adjustments you've made on this already Mark hats different and that guitar comes later, nice, cant remember that lift at 3.37 lead guitar and the very delicate harpers tap percussion behind it just after, keep up the great work

Posted two days ago and only two comments ?! really nice this, chilled jazzy vibes, easy to chill to, really great job mate !

hey Mark can only agree with Manuela, this is such a warm track, that sax is stellar, beautiful keys, that deep blues bass is knockout, great change at 140, love that finger plucking acoustic at 2.09 it's gorgeous tone, great mix and mastering mate fantastic listen

Great track! You know I love a horn section and the section at about 3:50 slays. Pure energy and sonic funk joy. As usual your mixes are superb. Thanks Mark

Whats going on Mark, It was just plain old time to get a listen in, not knowing I would have to call 911 to report that I've suffered a blown head and ears gasket. LOL. Out of all tracks you have, I had to stop here and get a light weight guitar spanking. I've been in the studio recording some HOT riffs. Will hit you up for a verbal when I get done with these tracks. It's time brother. PEACE. T576 OUT.

What's up Mark,

The energy is crazy on this track.
I've been listening to your portfolio
here on LM. You got the "Organ bug" bad,
you work a poor B3 to death:-)
I got a big kick out of the change @4:40
It was totally unexpected. The Outro starting
@ about 5:22 is the kind of controlled chaos I
live for.

Great track. Faved.. PEACE from the East...TTYL

Mark your showing off again, god dam i love a show off :)) great instrumentation as always, everything shines, jazz funk fusion is you. ive not been about much working away from home etc, so need to catch up. first listen and it was a pleasure, thanks bro

hello kingmt !i like your track! it remembered me a track ! sometimes i hear like "fish food" from acusmatic group.
good job

77, I mean kingmt, you tightened me up at 3:41 then at 4:39 you hit me hard with that guitar track. As I was listening I developed ugly face syndrome. You know how it sounds so good to you, your bottom lip has the appearance of being pushed up hard into your top lip, this track took me there. Again I submit to you and fellow Loopers that in fusion there is no orthodox song form method. Most fusion artist are accomplished dimensional thinking writers not to say that an RNB writer isn't, FUSION is more of an instrumental level of creating. If you can twist my face with a track, Its got to be good. You did your thing on this. I'm glad I caught it. PEACE. T576 OUT.

into your top lip

As always it's off the charts good. Rock solid, or maybe I should say jazz solid (despite the great guitar).

However.

I have a producer friend/teacher who helps me with songs and structures and he almost always tells me to simplify stuff. In your tracks I hear that too; you have so much musicality and so many amazing ideas - any 15 seconds of your track are more interesting than entire tracks (or the entire life work) of some of us.

Eg the first 5 seconds are this awesome drum rhythm plus bass, then at 0:04 you have the sax, then horns, then a Rhodes, then after 2 min you introduce this amazing guitar which you got straight out of the steely Dan studios (who is that amazing guitarist???)

So what I would set you as a challenge is:
- decide what the top 3 ideas are in your track (to me: the drums, the guitar and the horns)
- build a 2-3 minute track out of that to make sure the core is exactly how you want it
- then add some of the other elements.
- then see if it needs to be longer
Oh btw the drop/break at 4:45 needs to be part of the essentials

I should add that I already immensely admire anything you do - it's easily a 11 on a scale of 1-10. I just think that if you make that next step from jams to songs, you can be a major recording artist (if you aren't already). It's just that good.

70s cop movie. nice

Dammnn its good as always, just a question Who plays guitar Mark ?
Michael

Love it Mark. The moments of silence are a great punctuation for the busy moments. Lovely jam on that corner of funk and jazz where you like to hang out.

I can always leave it to you to talk to my soul with your music. The lovely sounds work for a rainy day at home but at the same time makes me want to put on a jiving suit and go down to the disco dance hall. Wonderful as usual, adding to favs.

Sick track! The atmosphere is killer along with the super catchy organ. Great work :)

Great track nice composition. Did you play and instruments on this one? Fits well together.

another classy piece of work Mark, great Sunday morning listen great instrumentation and space as always, i like that continual cymbal ride bussing in the back ground, nice drums and the sax is stellar, i like the organ too, great production mate nice groove

Hola Mark,

What a track, I absolutely love! that sax as you know one of my fav instruments but honestly all of the instruments in this little piece of jazzy heaven are definitely in their rightful place & just singing to me, such a zealous! and wonderfully crafted track. I particularly like the arrangement of the instruments through out also. This is one of the most grooviest, silky smooottthhhh! jazz ensembles ever & you certainly hit a home run!!! with this one my friend. A masterpiece indeed. Quality all the way, totally enjoyed every minute of listening time wow! NICEEE work here indeed! Bravo! OUTSTANDING!!! :)

WOW I'm so loving this

woo hoo - warning genuine muso at work

lively, lovely, spirited jazz, wonderfully playing, masterfully constructed and beautifully mixed

for me it really lifts off at 303
