Description:
Came up with this while exploring the rhythms in the Rhythm Jam Pack. Started with a heavier Motown beat and developed the chord sequence, then as I was adding bass and trying to add some variety to the drums I came across "Motown Mixed Drums". The tenor sax uses a sound font, I'd love to hear a real live sax player have a go.
Hardware:
Clavinova
Software:
GarageBand, "Tenor Sax 1" from SoundFonts.it

A good piece of Jazz Fusion.... &mdash 02/23/07 - 01:53:50 PM
I agree with you. The saxaphone would be great live.
Still. Without the real live sax it's still a great sounding mix.

Thanks Paul &mdash 02/23/07 - 04:39:06 PM
I'm glad you enjoyed the piece as is. Live is preferred but I think the soundfont is better than the GB sax. Thanks for listening and commenting!! [ Reply to This ]
Nice groove &mdash 02/25/07 - 09:17:13 AM
Would be an ideal track to add wukka guitar and some acid synth parts to.Its the most convincing virtual sax sound ive ever heard,to date [ Reply to This ]
Thnanks for stopping by &mdash 02/25/07 - 01:20:52 PM
Guitar solos sound nice. I'm learning about how to get better sounds out of the virtual instruments, wind and brass are very difficult when using the percussive attack of the piano to play the notes. Thanks for the comments. [ Reply to This ]
Nice relaxed feel ... &mdash 02/25/07 - 03:41:16 PM
... an enjoyable listen ... all I needed was a "crantini" to go with it ... [ Reply to This ]
Thanks for the Listen &mdash 02/25/07 - 03:51:36 PM
I still can't get it to play here, but I have it on my machine :)
"Crantini"? Sounds like a summer drink to me. Thanks again. [ Reply to This ]

Nice feel I like your chord arrangements, True some real horn or even real guitar on this would be great. Realy layed back ready for a cup of green tea [ Reply to This ]

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll grab another cup and wash the dishes :) [ Reply to This ]
Oh yeah... &mdash 02/26/07 - 06:17:19 PM
...love that old Motown sound! You know, you might be able to get our own Dadai (Jack Miller) to play some sax over this groove....
Love it. Nice almost live sound...
Be well! [ Reply to This ]

This by far is my favourite piece by you. The song structure from start to finish is exceptional. Your playing on this is great and the groove and phrasing of your changes really hit home for me. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks for listening &mdash 03/12/07 - 04:15:57 PM
High praise! I'm glad you enjoyed the piece. It is definitely more structured than some of my other efforts. [ Reply to This ]

Thanks for listening. The sound fonts are fun to work with and provide more realistic instruments in some cases. [ Reply to This ]
Sweet &mdash 03/13/07 - 04:37:12 PM
I like the feel to this. Maybe some "xylophone" on the right would help balance the saxaphone. Overall, Very smooth....Going in "favorites"
Thanks for sharing.

Nice piece!!!! Just right...I wouldnt change a thing...Do you play live???
Soundfont sax does sound better than GB sax. I like to use horns in my songs...and sometimes Gb doesnt workout all that well. [ Reply to This ]
Live &mdash 03/17/07 - 08:37:22 PM
Yes I play each track live except for the drum loops. I am a real klutz with the pencil tool, so I find it easier to practice a line and rerecord. I did use some timing fixes during production. Thanks for listening and commenting!! [ Reply to This ]
Very Nice Job ----- &mdash 03/21/07 - 03:31:55 PM
Bill, The "Sax" samples sounded real to me. You did a great job on this one. I enjoyed it much.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I did go through and make sure the legato notes were sequential like they would be on a real sax and not overlapping like I do for piano legato. [ Reply to This ]
Mr. Piano &mdash 03/22/07 - 08:48:59 PM
This is a really nicely mixed tune. The touch on the synth-sax is smooth. I like PickQuick's suggestion for a vibraphone/xylophone. At the start of the tune the piano seemed a little strong, but it blended into the mix well as the song went on.
Solid,

A live sax would be sweet...but you do a nice job with the SoundFonts.
Enjoyed this very much. [ Reply to This ]

Glad you like this one, and count me among the fine musicians here. I consider that high praise, some of the musicians here are true professionals. [ Reply to This ]
Very nice &mdash 04/30/07 - 10:29:28 PM
A good mellow vibe to this one. Makes me want to have a glass of wine and draw something to it. The sax sounded really good for a virtual instument, but a real sax would really bring this piece up a notch. A great piece of music here. And thank you for commenting on my song visions it means alot. Best regards-Nikos [ Reply to This ]

I agree with your suggestions, I just need to get organized here :) Thanks for listening! [ Reply to This ]
Something to groove on. &mdash 05/07/07 - 02:51:52 PM
Really feeling this one. Man if you could play sax, you certainly have the right feel in the right places. Getting a little Philadelphia sound in here too.
I may get my sax out on this one too. [ Reply to This ]
Damiengh &mdash 05/07/07 - 04:44:16 PM
Glad you like the sound. Can you recommend any Philadelphia sound artists? Thanks for listening! [ Reply to This ]
Philadelphia &mdash 05/08/07 - 07:44:26 AM
Spinners, Stylistics, Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, OJay's, Delfonics. Also songwriters, McFadden/Whitehead and Gamble/Huff.
Check'em out at Itunes store, you can sample a bit.

Thanks for stopping by. When you let me help on Touching Down, I just assumed you had already heard this one. I am still interested in having the sax part done live, I will make some inquiries... [ Reply to This ]

Let me know if that happens...(live sax)
I am just begining to explore more of you music.
