Thanks allot, TG. Ya know, I debated about second sax, but decided to keep it. These were some loops I had. I couldn't find anything that worked perfectly, but these seemed close enough for jazz!
Very nice work on this one Scott. The only thing this one is missing is a good set of vocals. I agree with you, this really does sound like its a song from back in the day. I really liked the jazz feel you put on this later in the track, that really caught my attention.
Thanks for your kind words. You are right...I'd love to have some vocals on this and many other tracks of mine, but I put out the request, but to no avail. Do you sing? My collaborators and I would love to have you aboard, if you do.
Well it does definitely have a 60's vibe to it and the mixdown is nice and clear. I can't say as i've ever played a tune like this and i'm 39 so i must be missing something lol.
Anyway, i like the style of it and particularly the sax soloing.
This was a good listen and a very enjoyable piece.

Thanks allot, FR. I'm surprised you never played songs of this style before. It's kind of that, "House of the Rising Sun" type vibe which I think everyone has played at one time or another, but maybe I'm wrong.
Really enjoying how cheerful and warm this song sounds, it's always nice to hear a great surf song! Although I'm definitely not old enough to know any of the original artists :)
Hey, TM. Great to hear from a fellow drummer. I appreciate you checking out my track, even though it may be out of your age range. If I can offer a suggestion, you can learn much from older musician, so please don't write them off too quickly.
LMK if I can help in any way.
Cheers,
Scott
P.S. What kit are you using? I restored my 1971 Ludwig Classic kit, in red sparkle, and just finished restoring a 1965 Ludwig Classic kit in vintage marine pearl.
Excellent job Scott! You've captured the feel of that era for sure. Great choice of instruments, fitting for this type of music. I have always loved music from this era and style because they feature great catchy guitar riffs and fills and usually a great guitar tone. Even though some artists from that era used to play slower surf songs, like Link Wray for instance, but I always preferred the upbeat, fun danceable surf style.
Everything is great here, I like how there is a lot going on but there is space in the song to give each instrument it's time to shine. Well done, as usual!!
I agree 100%, my friend! I have a hard time finding something I like in todays music. I remember putting the 45s on and playing my cheap little Sears drum kit to them. The Ventures did a cover of Hawaii Five-O, and my Jr. High band played it and I asked the band director if I could play my full drum kit to it for our concert.
Anyway, thanks for chiming in and leaving your kind words.
The intro actually sounds a bit like 60's psychedelic I thought. But then quickly goes into the undeniable 60's surf sound like it's straight off of a Ventures' album.
You put together a great track. The end result is upbeat and super fun to listen to but I can tell how much work went into arranging and producing.
Something you don't hear every day! What a pleasant surprise. Made my morning :) I faved
Thanks allot, RW. Glad you like it. Right...My stuff is not what you will hear much on Looperman. Even my collabs with Franco (Ferryterry) is a genre you seldom hear, here.
That's wonderful, Steve. I'm honored that I had a small part in helping you discover another style of music.
Jazz has many styles, as does rock, so if you like rock, you can listen to more jazz-rock styles like Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago, or fusion like Return to Forever, Chick Corea, and Stanly Clarke. Good luck!
I absolutely love this track. I got into Louis Prima years ago and we played lots of standards in my band, Vince Guaraldi to Dave Brubeck and more so I can completely get into all these styles of jazz, blues, swing and dixieland. You did a great job mixing them all together and making it all make sense. You are quite talented Scott, great one here!
Thanks allot, Wayne. You're kind words really made my morning!
Yeah, I was exposed to allot of jazz and big band in my youth and played it whenever I could, even when my friends were playing rock. Than I was exposed to classical. My friends would come over with the latest Led Zeppelin or Who album and I would be listening to Mussorgsky or Art Blakey. I often hear someone hear say, "I don't like jazz, but I like your track." They don't think they like jazz because they don't listen to it! But I digress.
What completely mental track!!!!!! So wonderfully put together and it all flows really well. Great guitar work and the arrangement is excellent. Love it!
Modern production is tying together a history lesson for my ears. This is what fusion jazz is all about! Bass funk riff is pretty epic. It's like the evolution of man poster where the left side is a chimp and the right side is the modern human. Your chimp side is pretty wise already though. I swear this is all meant as a compliment. The track is very good. cool mixing. Pure swank.

Awesome Jazz Track,

Cheers,DRO
Thanks allot, Destero. Glad I can broaden your horizons a bit. I love the early funk styles, so allot of my jazz tracks will have these element combinations. If you like this track, check out some of my others. Many have the same feel.
