Cosmo

Send me a rundown of your setup! Thx

Oh No! How and where did you come up with this? Infectious groove full on deck! Just WOW! Thank you kind sir!

Mark

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.

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!

Peace Brother,

Mark

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.

Mark

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.

Mark

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!

This is a super fun jazzy track, I really like it!

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

Cosmo i don't wish to crush your page comment section but i happened to press the link to your page, Cosmoandfriends, i am truly impressed with your pedigree and your whos who of acquaintances, i also feel extremely obliged and moreso now that you have actually listened to me but also commented on my humble offerings, i know Alan Mair bassist of the Only Ones personally, they had a number one hit with another girl another planet 1978, he is a good friend of my younger brother who is an actor and an extremely good pianist, he also played keys for Alan Mair at a huge concert in Edinburgh a few years ago when a scotch producer passed, he played Annie Lennox and Dave Stewarts set too, the lucky #####, it was supposed to be the brand new heavies pianist but he took sick and my brother got the opportunity as he was there, but Alan actually said to my brother when i released some of my earliest stuff total rookie, tell Paul to tone down the reverb and delay on his vocal, it masks the character in the actual voice, it might sound cool, but experience will teach him, that is not the finish he needs, he did add tell him it is every Rookies first mistake, not bad eh from one of Britians best ever bass guitarists and personal friends with some of the biggest rock stars on the planet. your experience speaks volumes my friend having this valuable experience in our community is not only priceless but worth mentioning, hence the reason i point it out and it gave me another listen to the track as i wrote you, that brass bass is fire mate and the trumpet well it just simply trumpets

Cosmo listening again! Catchy!

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.

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.

Hi Cosmo, nice laid-back Jazz track with superb sound effects and instrumentals. Great job!

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 was supposed to say sax and trumpet are the stars

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

Brass is on point.

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.

Mark

Some of those touches feel a bit Latino with the Marracas and that solo is sexy, sassy Sax - this is like a delicious jazz train journey to the best laid back ##### bar you could ever imagine

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

What a cool jazzatronic track cosmo very well done i enjoyed my listen :)
by the way hit me up anytime you think i might do a job on the bass for you take care
Robin :)

Man, its crazy to think how much i hated the saxophone for years. And now i cant get enough of it. My big brother is still the coolest dude in the world to me (just dont tell him I said that lol) and its easy to like the stuff that he does. Hes been on a jazz kick lately, so Ive been on that kick with him lol. You and Mark consistently upload songs with best use of Saxophones we've ever heard. All instrumentation is great, really tho. Another track that made us feel like we're in a dimly lit mini-club filled with cigar smoke and faces half hidden in shadow, listening to live music. Noir!

Hello Cosmo,
I love the groove and the music on this one. Especially that saxophone...oh my oh my! This is some really good stuff you're cooking on here. I enjoyed the whole song through all transitions.
Enough respect, sir!

Hey Mate, We should have a chat one day, as I think I would be mesmerized by the artistic connections and stories you would have would be mind-blowing. I am a retro-Futurisic sort of artist and tend to touch the esoteric, but damn, I appreciate the Histoire and ennui of what you have experienced. In my University days, I DJ'ed at the radio station. I met the local talent at the time in NYC, Pepi Marcello of the "Good Rats", who was promoting his own Son's band Marcello, and told me about the upcoming album from Meatloaf on CBS (Bat out of Hell 2). My friend drummed for the Rosenburgs before they kicked him out, as they were on the cusp of success. I served Dee Snyder and his Wife when I worked at Costco on Long Island Many years ago, and they were the absolute nicest people. Every time, I was so impressed as he trekked up to Quebec to sing with Isabelle Boulay on a Quebec T show last year. I moved to Quebec when I met and married my wife (Who used to sing Opera and introduced me to that world), and have loved the music up here as well. I love listening to the new and weird music of the world, and remixed and influenced a few artists, but mostly now I putter around and try to give some sage wisdom to the willing here on Looperman. I took a break for about 8 months as both my parents passed in the last year, and I found it hard to be inspired to write again.
