Description:
I took an old tune of my own and asked a few horn players to join in the fun.
I am grateful for the two great contributions.
IG.STUiDO on Tenor Sax (Ilya)
and
bass2x on trumpet (James)
The tune goes thru some cool changes. I really dig it when the Trumpet solo comes beaming in, adding a touch of
“Spain” to the mix.
You just have to dig James tone and note placement. His playing has lifted a few of my tunes into another place. Thanks James.
But fist you will experience the sweet melodic tantalizing Saxophone of Ilya as he dances round, creating anticipation with his every lick and chop.
Ilya gave me some great harmony stuff, which helped me to give the song strenth and depth.
Thank you Ilya
Big thank you to both.

What a relaxed music bed for the soloists to play on top of. Must have been a dream to play along to. Sounds very sweet and good.
And they both get a warm and great tone out of those horns. Pro stuff indeed. Nice to hear that smooth and sexy guitar in between them.
timothy devine
Thanks for coming back again and again. Your visits mean a lot to me.

I was singing with your tune(Same Herd) all last night. Something soon I hope. Inspirational to say the least.

Thank you for checking my music out.
If you liked this one,check out Ilya's Sax on 'Touching Down' with Karmatoburn showcasing his wizardry on a synth solo.
I am very proud to play with these guys.

hey I checked out some of you stuff/very hip

Really enjoyed this one. Great jazz that flowed smoothly through my ears and made me feel like I had been almost been lucky enough to see the live performance! Wonderful collab! Great song.
timothy devine
Thanks for coming over to listen.
You have very kind words to say and that always makes my day.
I like coming back to post notes when I can do it right and recall who I talking to in a cyber sort of way.
You music (as I remember) is also very soothing. Music can cover so many different feelings and emotions and here we get to share that part of it too. For me that makes all the work/if I should call it work...worth it.
Thank you for sharing your feelings about my music

Sorry to have missed this one, but I'm sure there will be others. I was too busy drinking, I mean singing about Guinness.
Once I get out of the pub, I walk down the street to your club for a spell to check out whats going on. Sounds like a cool groove going on and worth setting for a spell and of course, drinking some more Guinness.
I'm sure this one was fun putting together for you.
Take it smooth Tim.
timothy devine
So cool of you to drop by.
I really dig you new hit single. Man you cot that krazy tune happing.
Nice collab here for those of you who haven't herd is a great Bar tune "Cryin' in my Guiness"

...I am a lot fatter and less green... seriously, thank you very much for the opportunity---loved every bar of it. Tim, you have a magic touch, you turn everything to pure gold, and James, hat's off to the gorgeous feel and sound...
timothy devine
Hats off to you my man
I thought that WAS you, Ilya!
But you're right, the complexion is off...
heh, heh... just foolin around, amigo. Thanks Timmy for the collab, always a pleasure my man. And to share notes again with Ilya is a sheer delight. Mucho gracias muchachos!
timothy devine
Where have you and Ilya recorded together in the past?
Is it something I can get to.
I'd love to here what else you have done.
Thank you so much for the great playing and your easy going style. You make it easy.
extra thanks

Subdued performances with sensational results. Very fluid, interesting piece. Great horn work built around a well-conceived and executed composition. The instruments meld unobtrusively in the mix, almost to perfection.
VERY nice work, gentlemen!

timothy devine
nice to have you visit.
it got me over to your site and well... for that I am grateful. You have great stuff/music is a better word i guess
Your comment about the way the intruments mingle just perfect was my goal in this song, and these guys really helped me pull it off with the great tracks they sent me. What great players.
I love the intimacy that comes from playing with others and the connection between musicians when they are jamming. I tried to capture that for real with inspired rhythm stuff for them to play over and then cleaned up the rhythm tracks to let there tracks shine.
thanks for noticing the results.

...this is sweet...you didn't mention the guitar work...nicely understated. Rhythm track's real fine, too.
Great listen...

it's great hearing some real wind instruments around here for a change. You know - the bass kicks pretty good here to - there were a few later Grateful Dead moments (Lesh - Marsalis) in this. Have you ever checked out Dave Douglas? Interesting trumpet player. Thanks for the heads up on this one.
timothy devine
I got the kids a puppy.
thought you might be interested.
The Lesh and Marsalas reference is cool. I here it to.
I didn't spent a lot of time listening to the latter GD stuff after Keith and Donna were gone from the band, but i did live on the earlier stuff.
Phil lesh was so creative and not conventional in his approach to playing along with tunes that he gave every moment the feeling that there was a jam going on.
Dave Douglas I will check out Now!
Thanks
thanks ffor you kind words and I really appreciate your visiting this tune.
The horn players deserve so much credit for there performances...
Roxylee
I really like how you guys spiced up the original tune. The sax and trumpet sound great together. I feel like I'm at the jazz club- extra great through headphones, really creative and funky/cool/relaxing.
timothy devine
Your comment about the head phones is true. I do most of my mixing in headphones and I often forget about the speakers.
I like to shuffle up a few songs and let them surprise me in the order they play, cause sometimes thats when I here what the song really sounds like...does that make any scents?
peace to you

...to revisit this song. This tune now really feels fullfilled. A very excellent collab here. Some great horn playing, I must say! And your guitar playing isn't a slouch either!
timothy devine
Thanks for stopping by.
I think you commented on the old version and thought it sounded like a part of more tune. Its done now put to rest, and left for others to cover. Hahaha
thanx

Sultry and sophisticated Jazz feel. Would be an excellent backdrop for a film. Great contributions from all here, congrats on a great collab, M
timothy devine
Sophisticated?
Thats cool.
thanks
jiguma
So laid back it's pretty much horizontal - love well-played sax, and the guitar sounds pretty good too. Lovely bass ably assisted by a cool drum track.
Excellent collab!
Neil
timothy devine
Your visit means very much.
For the drums i am always looking for Jack Dejohnnette, but he is off somewhere in the real world of studio musicians jammin with the likes of Kieth Jarrett or Pat Metheney.
I am eternally looking to find real drummers on macjams.
Thanks for your kind words and the time you took to listen.

and gentlemen... everyone showed professional restraint on the free formed movements... instead of dominating, all elements contribute to the dialog... this really puts me in a smoky room... excellent recording... way to capture the magic moments...

Tim, great job. Ilya and James contributions are huge stats. Your keyboard and guitar work are very sweet as well. You have such a great sense of space so as to let the whole thing breathe in the open. Cool choices on the background sounds (keys). very well done
timothy devine
your comment about my keys is huge to me.
I so respect your playing and keep wondering when i can get to work up something with you again some time.
I keep listening to your solo on 'Touching down'
and i am amazed with how interesting you kept the soloing even when the chords where not moving much.
peace to you my friend
thank you for coming round...
tim
Haven't had a lot of "me" time lately. Really busy.
I must say, WOW! this is really nice. It's amazing how everything compliments each other so perfectly. Sounds like you guys were in the same room on this one. Thumbs up on the mix, production, performance, etc..
Great job guys!

I'm with you on the real instruments thing...
I am growing less fond of loops, though I have tinkered with them and
well the drums are all loops.
somehow drum loops are ok
thanks for listening and putting up such a nice comment.
peace tim

What a nice trip. So wonderful to hear this kind of quality jazz tunes now and then. The start of the song is splendid and sets the tone... until the very last note. Great theme, played with gusto by all of you. This is such a huge collab. Wonderful, wonderful (while hitting the 'play' button for the third time...)

timothy devine
Such great words to read.

Thanks for alerting me to this. This is really a very gentle massage to my ears. This is what Macjams.com does very well -- bringing great musicians together to create wonderful music like this.

It still amazes me that we can do this rather easily.
Jam across the universe.
if it could only bring peace

Thanks for getting over here to check it out. I know I did some self promoting on this one but the horn players deserved to be heard.

I don't think I can critique this at all; it's just plain slick.
Thought I'd leave some kind of comment... :)
Thanks for sharing it.

I'm no expert on jazz (I don't know really anything about jazz) but I know good music when I hear it! When listening to this fine musicianship I can close my eyes and picture a smokey bar (can't smoke in bars anymore in Ohio so I guess it would have to be a fog machine filled bar), the musicains are playing in a corner of the room, light comes in from behind the musicians so they are backlit, you see their silhouettes and the light shines through their hair and lands on their instruments of brass and wood, the smoke swirls and dances on the beams of light, the spectators sit back, close their eyes and their minds are transported from their bodies where time stands still. Yeah, something like that!! Thanks for asking these cats to play on your song Tim. Great performance by all!
timothy devine
I appreciate your visit.
You have a great imagination.
My mom always said that to me when I was a kid.
Now I am starting to see what she means.

Great colab going here on a thoughtful quiet ride to a very cool place. I like the way you work the guitar and sax in opposition sometimes and as a compliment at others, And the trumpet and sax together make it rise to a whole new level when they start playing off each other.
Very nice piec Tim, IG and bass. Love it all the way through.

I am completely transported. Amazing vibe and smooth groove. Thanks for this one. Beautifully mixed as well. The tonal separation is astounding. The echo on the trumpet reminds me a bit of some of DJ Crush's stuff. If you haven't heard him, and might be into listening to some acid-jazz shoot me an email and I'll hook you up.
timothy devine
Your words of praise have made my day.
About dj crush/????
send me some new music my man
I could dig a trumpet player
I'm a huge Miles fan
his whole career just inspires
Nikos
great all around. Bass, guitar, brass, drums all of it really sweet stuff. Sorry it took so long to get around to give it a listen. Give us some more of the same. Very, very nice.
Willywagga
Lovely and soft and smokey, I can see this jam taking place before my eyes, it's about three in the morning maybe later. Everybody is so tired that the tension has disappeared, we're just left with the music, making itself. Brilliant.

your visit means much.
Your words are inspiring.

I love the mix of orchestration with blue jazz, gives it quite a post-modern Gershwin feel for me. Great job and playing by all.
timothy devine
I am always happy to see comments especially when things have been quiet
I am very fond of this song
the horn players are great to work with
Thanks for stopping in

Mellow track with excellent dynamics. Who's playin' sax?
I can really hear the Milesean influence, as well as a good mix...

I'd check out some of your stuff and glad I did. Love this track. It reminds me of Frank Zappa in the very early 70's about the time of 200 Motels and Grand Wazoo. Very unusual and distinctive.

As I said before, I'm not a huge fan of Jazz songs but I'm in love with your Jazz collaborations .. Thanks a lot for sharing. KUDOS for the work, enjoyed it a lot!

This is fantastic.....great playing all around...guitar playing in particular is perfect.
Loved the horn playing...beautiful lines and such elegant phrasing.
This is one of my favourites by you...as good as it gets & better than anything I have heard in quite a while
timothy devine
The Horn players are such an inspiration.
Your comment means very much to me as I respect your talent very much.

I kinda like the way this one turned out too.
