KSband 308 Posted February 20 (edited) Your dad must be a hip dude, nothing like what I heard in the car LOL. Man who remembers Monkey Wards, love it. Very cool tune, I have always liked the sound of a sax and guitar together. I just ordered me a cheap sax to try and get back into it (we'll see) I played some back in the 90's.

PavlovsCat 1,568 Posted February 21 (edited) Killer. Another great track, but to be very candid, based on everything else I heard from you, I knew it was going to be excellent when I saw your username. Kudos. Beautiful playing and another very well written song. Top notch. Edited February 21 by PavlovsCat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 1,749 Posted February 21 Nice start to the day thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyB01 344 Posted February 21 Killer track and groove - brilliantly executed as always. Would have loved one of those fast licks followed by a hard stop at the end but that's just a fave trick of mine (like Anita Baker's Fairy Tales where the jam session at the end is the stand out part of the track). Loved it Andy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markno999 56 Posted February 21 That is a great track, really enjoyed it. The harmony and rhythmic changes, instrument focus, etc.., are so very well executed, definitely not your cookie cutter smooth jazz tune. Huge thumbs up. Regards 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry T. 234 Posted February 21 (edited) yes, this genre of music (smooth jazz) is what an FM station here in Los Angeles called The Wave 94.7 would play from 1987 to 2010....you guys do your collaborations extremely well....and while this isn't the best material you guys have created it's very chill sounding and works as that type of music....cheers!!!! 🎼🎵🎹🔊 Edited February 21 by Larry T. clarity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Kurt, I didn't know you played sax. Good luck with it & hope it inspires you to create some new music. On 2/21/2022 at 1:22 AM, PavlovsCat said: Killer.

Loved it Andy Thanks Andy, there's always something that I hear that I'd like to change later on. I prefer to work with the first tracks given to me so I rarely ask for a revision. Part of the fun is making it work, I sometimes have to do a bit of creative editing though. On 2/21/2022 at 7:02 AM, Afrodrum said: Great tune. Perfectly balanced mix.

Bass, drums, piano & sax are the collabs on this track. The drummer sent me a 2 mix & I used a light amount of eq, limiting & it's own ER to the verb.
