Description:
I couldn't hope to classify this one, so apologies to the Genre police. It developed from a re worked MIDI file circa 1988. I got it somewhat presentable and then asked Z293 to see if he could work some of his magic and man, that he did. I really dig his interpretation of the jam.
I am thrilled to chills when things get going.

work and colab ...KUDOS ! [ Reply to This ]
Two great Musicians! &mdash 12/23/07 - 07:27:51 PM
Great music , pianos roll and wind down endlessly and Z what can I say...such a dynamic hard rock guitarist, just amazing stuff here... [ Reply to This ]
Cool &mdash 12/23/07 - 08:04:30 PM
Like the track. Some interesting rock, jazz fusion going on here. Fast with lots of finesse.
Thanks

This has a great opening &mdash 12/23/07 - 08:10:28 PM
The first few bars seem to hint at one thing, and then it changes into something else completely. I love the bass on this, and the bass is out of this world. This is terrific musicianship. As for the genre - I think Rockin' Prog Jazz Funk would maybe do it justice. And isn't "Genre Police" a good name for a song? Awesome track. Kudos. Nice work. Peace. And a Merry Christmas.

Another fan of the bass line &mdash 12/23/07 - 09:32:36 PM
I too like the bass sound and the runs the bass makes here...and of course the guitar lead. [ Reply to This ]
Needs no Genre... &mdash 12/24/07 - 12:11:16 AM
...unless you could call it:
"Tight, mindblowing canyons of sound".
Yeah...that would do it... [ Reply to This ]
Great playing &mdash 12/24/07 - 01:26:51 AM
I dig the driving drums giving this a pummeling jazz fusion groove, a la 'Return to forever' .Imagine Stanley clark pushing and Billy Cobham ripping the skins and Chic doing what he does on you song..
anyway that was so-pose to be a complement...
great playing and fine musicianship
keep em coming
this was a great listen and a keeper for sure
peace

drums &mdash 12/24/07 - 01:45:53 PM
Tim, the drums are actually MIDI (Beatboy). They put out a series a way back from Roger Morganstein (sp?) of the Dixie Dregs. Complete song files you could use to incorporate into your own tracks. Thx for stopping by [ Reply to This ]
GREAT BASS! &mdash 12/24/07 - 03:11:01 AM
Lovely stuff - love the drumming (and everything really) - keep waiting for Wayne Shorter to chime in to take it up another notch! Bass seems to disappear a bit in the mix during the solo, but a minor nit only.
Excellent guitar - piano as good as anticipated! Touch of Carlos on the lead. Love this!
Happy 2008!

Cool colab! &mdash 12/24/07 - 06:17:10 AM
Karma, you write some great stuff for us guitarist to play over and Z does a great job on this one. I'd love to help you out on another tune next time you pump out another great track! :)
Cool! [ Reply to This ]
I will do that &mdash 12/24/07 - 10:13:29 PM

Thanks to KTB &mdash 12/24/07 - 07:36:05 AM
For the amazing musical bed to get things started and your keyboard work is flawless. I've been stuggling with my own work lately and this one really gave me some much needed inspiration. Came together pretty easy really, I think only abount 120 takes. [ Reply to This ]
hats off &mdash 12/24/07 - 10:19:58 PM
to you sir, for adding your talent and energy to this. Flawless = MIDI :-)
Its the 'white out' of digital music production [ Reply to This ]
only about 120 takes &mdash 12/27/07 - 10:00:13 AM
Awesome!!!!!! &mdash 12/24/07 - 09:55:33 AM
Brilliant stuff all around.
I get Fusion, Rock, mixed with the KTB-magic.
Take care, and all the best for 2008.

Brilliant &mdash 12/24/07 - 11:44:31 AM
sounds as always sounds kind of Jazz influenced to me.... does it matter? it's just good music, fantastic guitar too keeps it really moving along at a pace, regards M [ Reply to This ]
Fusion.... &mdash 12/24/07 - 01:42:23 PM
... at it's best!
everything rolls along in one neat package.
Really dug this! Both of you really did a excellent job. [ Reply to This ]
Fabulous! &mdash 12/24/07 - 09:42:12 PM
80's &mdash 12/26/07 - 10:41:51 AM
I pick up a scent from the 80's, especially from the drums and the keys that starts this song. Excellent performance on those keys. That guitar ain't to shabby either:)
[ Reply to This ]
Damn, you guys... &mdash 12/27/07 - 03:12:06 AM
I'd been slipping in behind the scenes while randomly selecting a listen here every now and then when I can, but I haven't commented on anything because real life stuff hasn't afforded me much in the world of leisure lately - But this little ditty has yanked me right on outta the shadows to bestow upon you my utter sense of awe - As my nephew would say, this stuff is freaken tight! Liked everything about it - As always John, your synth action never fails to do me quite well - I like! I like! - Really nice work on the percs and drumming too! It sounded like a bit of focused effort went into both of them - Well... and how could one not dig the bass - Z293 string stretchn' is so awfully, "right on" - Dig the unexpected change-ups -- What a great track!
A most impressive collab gents!
Thanks for this! Dion [ Reply to This ]
slippin in &mdash 12/27/07 - 08:53:04 AM
Dion, you always pump me up with your comments! I'm glad you clicked on this little ditty. Hope all is well with you this Holiday season. [ Reply to This ]
big fusion &mdash 12/27/07 - 01:03:01 PM
Oooh yes, this works fine for me. Big fusion of all kind of genres. Splendid guitar work! My only little nit is the ending of the song: perhaps it could have been a bit more complex like the rest of the song. But that that's just a minor quibble. Great work, guys...
-Walt [ Reply to This ]
like the movement of this &mdash 12/28/07 - 09:58:18 AM
the helter skelter of the piano and the way the bass goes all over the place especially in the beginning. Nice guitar licks.

I'm not articulate.. &mdash 12/28/07 - 12:39:55 PM
This is a great tune. Great production and performance. DL&Fav!

that was fun &mdash 12/28/07 - 12:52:27 PM
enjoyed this ride tremendously.
think i'll ride it again.
and again.
and...
great guitar tone - how you gettin that killer tone? [ Reply to This ]
Guitar Rig 2 &mdash 12/28/07 - 05:02:24 PM
Coming from the King of Tone I take that as the highest compliment. The tone comes from an Ibenez JS1200 guitar and a Presonus Blue Tube preamp into Guitar Rig 2, pretty basic, but I believe the recent addition of Logic's Pro 8 Space Designer reverb really rounds the tone out. [ Reply to This ]
Props to MIDI!! &mdash 12/28/07 - 06:32:57 PM
In it's own way, it's 'easy to do', I know; but it sure beats spending all those years learning how to play a real instrument.... until Z293 comes around to make a compelling case for putting in those years!
Really smokin tune, this. Top flight performances all around. [ Reply to This ]
Cool &mdash 12/30/07 - 12:52:41 PM
Great use of dynamics. Love that piano, lead guitar and bass lines. Thanks for sharing! [ Reply to This ]
Been meanin to drop some words... &mdash 12/31/07 - 05:22:37 PM
Quite frankly- these is a really cool jam! Genre? Is good music a genre.
You guys are a great combo- hope to see another from you real soon! [ Reply to This ]
'preciate &mdash 01/01/08 - 07:09:57 PM
WOW &mdash 01/01/08 - 08:25:41 PM
You guys really made a virtuoso piece out of that little midi file, didn't you?
Great job all! [ Reply to This ]
woa...and right then &mdash 01/04/08 - 06:23:08 PM
how did i miss this...wow...quick little mama with lots of groove...sorry so late! [ Reply to This ]
Superb.... &mdash 01/14/08 - 12:45:51 PM
I'm picky &mdash 02/15/08 - 01:41:38 PM
and this is fantastic. I'm a big fan of the driving bass line a la Jeff Berlin, and this does it for me.
Also, your guitar playing and sound are perfect for the song.
And just to prove that I'm not a 10-bomber, I think the last guitar note goes a little sour, and maybe ... just maybe ... there could be a bigger finish. My $.02.
Do you mike your guitar amp? I'm still trying to get my guitar to sound decent in LE7, and it doesn't yet. I'm running through a Boss GT-8 processor right into a Firebox. Do you think that will turn out to be workable, or do I need to buy a mic and piss off the neighbors? [ Reply to This ]
Sour Note? &mdash 02/18/08 - 05:16:15 PM
I'm always good for a least a couple per song, but really thanks for the listen. On this song I used Guitar Rig2 through Logic Studio but before that I was using LE7 and probably the all difference on this one is the addition of Logic Pro's reverb which I find outstanding. I don't have much luck with a mic on an amp but I also never pissed off the neighbors. On my song Solar Flare I used a Boss GT-8 which I think is a great piece of equipment, a little fizzy sometimes but I think you can make it work. Chris of MacJams' PickQuick Records uses a GT-8 with amazing results, unfortunately he pulled all his music. Good Luck. [ Reply to This ]
That's the sound... &mdash 02/18/08 - 05:31:28 PM
that I want. I listened to Solar Flare. Damn, man. Balls to spare. If I could get THAT sound, I would be a happy man. Even better if I could play like that, too. I'll keep working on it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice picture of the corona, too.
Muchas merci for the reply. [ Reply to This ]
nice &mdash 03/19/08 - 09:37:29 PM
nice upbeat tune great keys as well as guitar great mix work smokin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you're already familiar &mdash 06/08/08 - 11:32:38 PM
with The Jimmy Chamberlain Complex. This is what this song reminds me of. I'm a fan of both. [ Reply to This ]
