Man I think missed this somehow. Its such a mood, man. This is the second song in a row that just put me in a happy mood. I think I'll have a bourbon for the rest of this one.
Crucethus, I haven't been to NYC in decades. But I would have enjoyed going to the Blue Note with you. "Jazz Waves" is a track on my new BandCamp album "Late Night" out very soon. Thank you for listening. Take care, Cosmo
Hi Cosmo
This track is really special and well put together.
I myself am not really a jazz lover, but I find this track beautifully structured with all those instruments and quiet periods in between, built on a constant, consistent rhythm.
Thanks Rita. I hope life is treating you good. My new BandCamp album "Late Night" is completed and will be published shortly. I hope you have an opportunity to listen to it after release. I will have to visit your tracks and catch up. Best wishes, Cosmo
Sorry about Vicki Tell her prayers are up for a speedy recovery. But shes ringing that bell for you to hurry up and bring those bonbons and fluffy her pillows LOL! And yes a new track is up. Check it out!
Cosmo! What an amazing soundscape with a dimension all its own. The French horns and strings are first class all the way. I wouldnt expect anything less than the best from you. Trusting all is going great with you and your album project.
Hi Brother, good news. I finished the album a couple of weeks ago. I want you to be the first to listen to the full album. I will email you a link shortly. Unfortunately, Vicki fell and broke her left wrist, hurt her right wrist, arm and knee. So, I am a full-time caregiver for a couple of months. It's hell getting old. I'm still strong as an old ox. I'll have to check if you posted anything new after I sign off here. Hope everything is going well with you and your family. Talk to you soon, Cosmo
Cosmo! Greetings. Im trusting you are doing great. Hows the album coming along? Im definitely looking forward to it. This track is in line with the fine Cosmo tradition. We will communicate soon.
That's a great track, I really like the collab of all the talent that worked on the track, not in the least that your wife helped - and the horn is awesome!
BaoBou, thank you for acknowledging my wife. And Ben Edwards with an exceptional flugelhorn live performance. I just completed the 12-song album "Late Night". I will be releasing the album on BandCamp free for listening soon. Take care, Cosmo
i so remember the arrival of MTV, it revolutionized the way music was consumed, you could or maybe should be a billionaire my friend and yes before vids, lots of 8mm, i studied audio visual at college wanted to be a film editor kind, behind the camera lol, but i settled for a wife family and steady job, i destroyed my marriage after 21 years, and was divorced, i hold no grudges, i always had an eye for the ladies, i also relise i must of had the lines too as i get a lot of credit for my descriptive story telling here at LM years later, I'm a good father, an absolute knock out grandfather to 4, i found music at 14 and was a streetdancer, i left home at 18, i worked holiday camps doing displays and teaching youngster moves, i settled in Birmingham my EX's city at 22. I only found LM and music production at 55, I'm now 60. i love this place, keeps me young and feeling alive, it lets me relieve some of the weight i carry, i call it shining a light on hurt, and many reflect on my words because they too have felt hurt, i suppose i have always loved music of some kind, i was also tipper of my boys brigade band and the sea cadet corps i was registered to, i played at navy days at HMS Collingwood in Portsmouth as a 16 year old, a friend said to me the other day, you are a great advert for the older gen and your bars are better than lots half your age earning big bucks,
they'll have to drag me out of here now, I'm gonna be the rapper at my own funeral 3 hearses pumping out the tunes and all the mourners poppin and breakin in the cemetery lol
i came into this world with a bang and i sure wanna leave with one
dimestop, thanks for sharing your life's downs and triumphs. Art and music are the common threads to all history. They can imitate art and music with AI, but true innovative art and music only comes from the human brain. It comes the human experiences you described above. Thanks, my friend, Cosmo
Hi Cosmo, this is great! The whole brass section sounds awesome. I loved the fact that there's loads going on and it shifts tempo, and the jazz guitar towards the end was very cool. Great track.
Thank you Bullitt. This gives me a chance to acknowledge my wife of 12+ years, Vicki. I call her "Vicki One Take". I write what I want her to say, and she reads it one time into my phone. All the voice overs you hear by her are in one take. We were married a year when she decided to tell me she is a retired swimsuit model who used to work in the LA Fashion District. All I know is she is still beautiful and I love her. Thanks for allowing me to use your comment reply to thank my wife. Take care Bullitt, Cosmo
Loving the sax on this, Cosoms. I just listened to one of Kings pieces as well - you guys are really keeping it authentic, like the true OGs on Looperman. As for me, Im more of a click-and-drag, copy-and-paste kind of guy...no real experience with live instruments yet, and I dont see that changing anytime soon haha. This is a beautiful piece, truly.
Richard, we need all kinds of music to lift us up. I listened to your track and commented. It's great and inspirational. Many, many years ago, I wrote a gospel song titled "Stand by the River". It was picked up and recorded by a local gospel group organized by a gentleman named Sam Fair. I remember that fondly. I write and produce all kinds of music. In the next few weeks, I will post a track on LM titled "The Kings of Russian Rap". About as different from jazz as it gets. Thank you for listening. I'll watch for your posts. Best to you, Cosmo
Much appreciated. This is track #8 of a new laid-back album called "Late Night" I will be releasing on BandCamp (BC) hopefully within 90 days. It will be available to listen for free on BC when released. I hope you are doing well. My 3 dogs, Chica, OB Juan and Tina, say Hi. Take care, Cosmo
A great composition. I started listening attentively and I liked it, but the moment the sax came in, you had me hooked, haha. I love it when you make a sax speak. Great job!
That is real live sax by Steve Bone (UK). He gets all the credit. I guess I get some credit for editing and arranging it. He is so talented and also plays other woodwinds, flute, clarinet, and even Bluesharp. I think he has some videos on YouTube. Bottom line, he's excellent. I thank you on his behalf. Buen dia, Cosmo
Ben Edwards is an exceptional trumpet player. He backed up Amy Winehouse. He travels professionally all over the world with multiple groups and works as a studio musician. You can find videos on him on YouTube. I've said this before, Ben is a professional friend of mine. What is a "professional friend"? It means I have to pay him to be my friend. He's definitely worth what I pay him. He has appeared on many of my tracks over the years. Thank you for recognizing him. He's also from the UK. Cosmo
Cosmo this is a delicious sound , i agree with Mark its textured layers are fantastic, they give it a warmth, you can imagine this playing in a smokey filled jazz club, the sax is clearly the star of the show and plays its part in the spotlight but the instrumentation is all solid, the deep brass bass was a great contrast to the melodic elements, sounded like a euphoinum, but it grabbed my attention, wonderful sound congrats to all involved
dimestop, thank you for your eloquent comments. I didn't realize all these elements are going on. That's interesting. A track like this takes me about 3 days. I did get a university degree in music and was professionally trained in studio production by David Rubinson of Columbia Records both many, many years ago. Today, I put my brain on autopilot and keep working on it until it sounds good to me. Best of life to you my friend, Cosmo
My aunt was from Sweden. She knew somebody associated with ABBA and submitted some of my songs to their producer when I was a teenager. I was told they planned to record one of my songs but I never saw it on an album or was contacted. Oh well, would have been great. I really enjoy and respect the loops you post. There is a song on the album "Late Night" I am working on called "After 2am". I used your Bass Tonka on it. I am sure I used more of your creations on other tracks. I always identify who contributed in the track notes on BandCamp. The album should be out in the next 60 days. You are the hero for sharing your talents with LM. Thank you so much, Cosmo
Cosmo! That glitch/scratch business is illegal! Saxes and brass arrangement is really really good. Lovely textures and tones with the keys and guitar. A wonderful fusion of Afro Cuban and a pinch of Latin American for good measure per my ears. Strong one Brother! Thanks for the mention too.
Weird, a lot of my previous replies disappeared. A computer glitch, I guess. Anyway, did you finally move? Send me an email about your new home. Your new tracks are really strong. No more talk about you having to come back from a long layoff, your music is all the way back and beautiful. I enjoy listening to your fusion and funk so much. You haven't heard from me because I am working on a jazz album "Late Night". I've done 8 of 12 new tracks so far for the album. "Jazz Waves" is the 8th. Talk soon Brother, Cosmo
I'd call it a great jazz soundscape, with the sax been the material of choice for the painter. When shadows or light and colors were asked, the saxophone was there to simply make it true. Great track and great musicians Cosmo. I really enjoyed this song.
Best regards, Anthony
Credit where credit is due. I joined LM 17 years ago. Back then Steve Bone posted many sax, flute and other loops. I was fortunate enough to back up most of his creations. If you don't sign into LM for a few years, your stuff disappears off the site. So now I back up everybody who shows real promise. There was a Spanish guitar player from Germany I thought was exceptional. After posting hundreds of loops he deleted it all and moved to IG. I have most of his stuff. I don't have room to store a half billion loops, but I have my best of the best. Steve Bone's saxophone is one of those. Good to hear from you Anthony, Cosmo
