All of the track is great but my fav bit starts from 2:36, it's like the bit where everyone in the club gets up and joins in. Then theres the main dancers who move to the rythm of the sax while all in background are doing some kind of nine step lindy hop.

Awesome !

I actually enjoy the swing jazz. Keep it coming.

As regards Sonar X3 Producer being a crap DAW - I doubt it. I think they're basically all good though I've never tried that one and don't really know much about it.

I've heard people say Reason is some sort of amateur thing but I've been using it nearly every day since 2001 and have got some wonderful results from it, in my opinion (and some other people's as well).

Anyway, clearly the female voices are samples but I'm still not sure what else you're playing on here. Drums are you on the Alesis kit, I gather.

Gypsy swing guitar, maybe?

2:45 the bassline that goes with the drums I previously mentioned is cool and classic. Good drums tend to need a good bassline. Just as well one often inspires the other, or vice versa.

4:36 sax is cool. Another sample?

Sorry for asking about all the samples vs played instruments but it makes a big difference to me to know what someone's actually playing. Good playing is good playing but if I hear some killer riffs or solos and find out it's the Looperman producer, I'm even more impressed.

" I really think more people like this style than want to admit"

I agree, in part. It's probably not so much the admitting thing, more that they forget about this style as you don't hear it about much these days. It's almost like particular period music.

P.S. Django's Revenge is kind of what happens in Tarantino's excellent film Django Unchained - perhaps my favourite film from last year. Not sure why some people hated it but doesn't matter here and now. I remember your track too though probably listened only 6 months ago. Ah yes, I just checked and I reviewed it 5 months ago though you never replied. My comment included a good music recommendation for you.

It's like I finally have my own LPs! So beautiful vintage jazz that makes you dance and clear your mind of everything and have an awesome time laughing! Loved it :)

i remember listening to my dad's LPs of benny goodman, dorsey brothers, artie shaw, etc. etc.
you really are capturing the feeling, the spirit of this super hip music! breath of fresh air! cheers! by the by - I have a track that has been dormant that is sort of in a similar vein - maybe you would have an idea or two for it? here is the link: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/150007

Very cool indeed! Love the lively free spirited feel to this. Great drums, swing and big band is so much fun to listen to. Very nostalgic and whimsical, just plain fun to listen to, great job Scott!

Movie Sound Track worthy for sho, bro!

Love & Light,

Yeah, man, I was just sitting around today doing not much, looking out the window, longing for some 30s swing. And then you came along and fulfilled my longing and answered my prayers to the musical gods.

No, that was all a lie but this is damn good!

The first 30 secs are pretty much a whole track.

Are you really playing everything in that intro? The cool female voices? Samples?

So much going on here that you may not get a lot of detail in comments but you will get a lot of love for this creative oddity.

I'd love a detailed description of what I'm actually hearing and how you put it together.

Love the big main tom-based swinging groove. Gypsy swing guitar very cool. Little blippy synth may well not have been possible in the 30s. Hey, why not add a bit of techno? And maybe a little bhangra plus a Latin rap?

"I doubt you will hear anything like this on Looperman"

I think the only previous thing was a track you did, in which you also added old record scratch.

Thing is, if you stick this on in all sorts of clubs, I'm sure a lot of people would dance to it and enjoy themselves. It's really timeless stuff though you've obviously done it in your own strange, cool way.

More detail from me later as this is worth it.

Great job and great fun. Here is a link to my musical favourite.

Bryan Ferry doing his Roxy Music Classic Love is the drug in 30's jazz..enjoy!

Hahaha cool! Nice record imperfection effects. Reminds me of the soundtrack to Fallout 3.

A wonderful musical collage of groovy and uplifting retro elements!:)

Congrats____Orlando

OK. This was REALLY fun!! Yes, some of us are ready for some 30's swing. This is much better than my poor attempt:

Although I think the scratchy record sound on my track was almost as good! :)

I assume you played the drums live. I no longer have a drum set and couldn't find any samples with the right cymbal sound. You had it nailed, though.

Nice work.

Superb!
The stop sections starting around 1:45 it's my favorite spot.
Great bass (the sound is a bit too "even", almost midi but I totally love the licks), super piano.

What to say on the drums: they drive a lot! And we have also some "short solo" moments to show us who the boss is ;-)
Outstanding! You are a real professional drummer and a complete musician. Hats off

Thanks again for sharing your music with us.
Ciao, Domenico

PS: hard to believe, coming from a guy who always mixes the bass too high, but the "bass-phrase" at 4:10 is a bit too loud (and a bit too "midi-sh"); only that segment.

Scott...this powerpack blew me away!..nuff said.

Orlando

Great description of the track, I totally agree. I feel like I just went to Vegas and saw a cabaret show. Damn this is pretty creative and so much fun to listen to. Great job on the mix, lots going on and everything sounds nice and clear. Excellent job Scott!

Wayne

You deployed ​​here, all your energy, and a great imagination ....

Bass line and tone is fantastic, as well as the guitars. This is like Prog Gospel. Drums are very Portnoy. Snare sound is a bit muffled sounding. If Liquid Tension Experiment did a gospel it would be close to this. Love the ending. Very nice.

Evan

Wicked tune..

Hahaha... This song make me happy! You know you really are talented! I just love all the variations.

Cheers, Anders.
