Hey Slap....instant favourite..I'd love the guitar piece to suddenly change into a choir with the same motif....you can dip your musical oar into anything....very evocative...this whole piece is fantastic..there's so many possibilities that come to mind...incredible..and yeah,way tricky to keep the delays in sync!..cheers Dave

Great composition on this one my friend! The two parts compliment eachother so well, and it has allowed you to impart so much feeling with the piece! The mastering sounds great too, both parts are pleasantly audible. Really nice work!

gentle and nuturing..that's wot this track congers up within me...a great emotional connection will develop between the listener and the song, without question...what's next? light percussion (congas), orchestral strings??? very eager to see where you take this one
great work

as always entertaining, musical, fresh, great guitar work, the guitar sounds amazing, and your sax well you are the man every body would want in their band to blow away the blues, I will never be able to do a track in 10 or 15 minutes I've tried your challenge and failed, you are the one man band. Peace Love and Freedom to jam away the summer.

Ahh..it's very interesting when I'm listening to this I isolate the guitar..think of what I might do...when I hear what you do..it blows me away...that fluttering phrase in the middle is insane...it's a great shame that Rob Whilhelm isn't here to discuss the philosophical aspects of improvisation with you and where they can be nurtured technically...it's way over my head....cheers mate

on Yeah Right (Saxobones) by SLAPJOHNSON
Very sweet tone...I imagine when your laying down the guitar chords your hearing the melodies simultaneously...The guitar is spot on here with perfectly measured timing and pauses....a fitting vessel once filled with your flowing flute and saxophone...It just proves that you don't have to slave for hours and hours to create something special...It does help to be certifiably brilliant though!...too good man! :)

Nice track as usual. Didnt know you played guitar as well. Jack of all trades huh? I usually play an instrument all the way through a track and just keep the pieces I think came out good. Kinda like freestyling but with instruments instead of words. Again nice track!

Hey man..cool chops!..am I hallucinating or can I hear a bit of Sesame' Street in there?..lol..just kidding but it's ringing a bell...Hell,I have to start at the end of this tune..the lead out is fantastic..it's very interesting listening to what is essentially a musical sketch...these exercises exist in their own right and would be great blueprints for expanded productions..I'm getting visions of Slap wired up to a brain scanner showing what parts of his grey matter lights up when he plays..lol cheers Dave :)

Hi Dave, It's baking hot over here now baby! Sesame street (Big bird and chums) lol.. Maybe in the deepest part of my melody mind that song creeped in...I love the freedom of these pieces/works, just play what comes out twice and render... Simple! Or is it? More to follow.
Thanks for the support and interest..

Cheers Slap...

Hi Victor, Dave Sanborn's one of my top players!! I love the early works of Sanborn. Hey man you dig Grover Washington? And I'm listening to Joe Lovano at the moment (Monster)...Thanks for the comments buddy...

Hey man...interesting formula...retrospective..or breaking down the cellular barrier between thought and action...I think one of the magical things about music is that it represents the future and the past at the same moment....It could be argued that the responses of a musician are governed by his tutelage and ability. I'm more inclined to believe that once a certain intimacy and understanding is achieved the brain takes over in that wonderful knack we humans have..we extemporise....I've met few musicians that can do this as creatively and successfully as you can....Like many of your students we are lucky to get an opportunity to learn from as well as enjoy your music.......planet :)

Hey Planet, nice words from one so wise and musical.It's a strange one to digest this improvising/instant composition. I'm having to think about what the sax/lead instrument will play while recording the guitar foundation, and trying to accomodate the interplay between the two before I get to that stage. Does that make sense? Anyway I have done another five done, so watch out for more spontaneity coming real soon..

Cheers Slap...

on Nice one Dave; Saxobones by SLAPJOHNSON
Hi Slap,

Hey, I really like your tune here. Very nice sound and playing throughout.The saxes are great sounding and the mix is very well done. I am not sure I was even on Looperman when this came out so I missed it.
A few folks have asked me to try and do 'funk' type of tune so I am working on that, as I have time. Not sure it will be up to your caliber tho. I am gonna mix it with some slide guitar/blues to make it a little interesting since funk really isn't my normal genre.

Great job here and thanks for sharing this great tune.

i can be a bit cynical about love...

but somehow, you kinda convince me to come to the light side...

not yet not yet hehehe...

i really love the solidity of your horns... fantastic job keeping the levels clean.... i also really appreciate the stereo imaging... things are placed nicely like it was a live band.... which also... drops my jaw...

great song!

This is impressive indeed, the thing i like the most is that it has a improvised, stream of conciousness type of feel, a bittersweet memory....or the finish of a long night's work? Your tone and versatility on the horn speaks for itself! Burnin'! Thanks for this and putting everyone up to an interesting and difficult challenge!
