Description:
Remixed slightly per Mcboy's suggestion (sax track tamed a bit, guitar brought up a tad). Story: iG.STUDiO: I just bought a pair of noise-canceling headphones and decided to play something into GB just to check the output volume (the pair I had before was sounding too soft - I could barely hear the tracks, it was very difficult to solo over), so I ended up recording the first sax track - one take out of the blue :{). I didn't even think I had a rhythm in my head... Then I added two more tracks just to fill the space. After listening to the tune, I added the string chord at the end just to make it stronger. That's it...
Scorpjammer: I fell in love with (to my surprise) iG's sound check as
soon as I heard it. I felt it had potential as a real cool,
sultry, jazz ballad piece, and proceeded to lay down
the GB Ballad bass and drum work, substituted GB's
hi-hat cymbal tap with a single shaker for a more
brushed hi-hat sound....cymbal tap was too hard
sounding. I worked a few breaks into the tune to
bring out iG's magnificent sax work and threw in my
guitar solo - a beefed up jazz sounding Fender strat
(if you can believe it), using GB's effects. To wrap it
up, I repeated iG's tune - which iG subtly enhanced
with more of his unique playing - but, this time
taking it to his original ending where it is joined by
the bass, drums and (Am9 harmonic slapping) guitar.
Hardware:
Yamaha "CustomZ" tenor saxophone YTSZ82, RadioShack 33-3004 dynamic microphone with XLR-1/4" line level transformer, iMic USB noicemaker, Maxell NC-II noice-cancelling headphones, iMac G4 800Mhz (1GB RAM).

I like it even better... &mdash 09/30/04 - 03:06:21 PM
A perfect blend between you and Scorpjammer to create the feel and mood of a slow jazz cry. [ Reply to This ]

I really like this kind of performance because it is not
anchored to a metronome. The song warms me all the
way down to my toes. Good job. High marks on virtuosity
and production. The ending with the synth strings was a
little unexpected and almost out of character with what
had preceded...almost seems as if you were transitioning
into another song. [ Reply to This ]
Right &mdash 09/30/04 - 06:02:54 PM
You guys got this right. I get to the end of it end, wo, it is

mood. Perfect pace. You had me in that nightclub in your
mind, guys. Great track. [ Reply to This ]

Last set &mdash 09/30/04 - 10:56:28 PM
Sounds like an after-hours set at 3am in a small club.
Sax is Ben Webster approved. Warm, lush and natural. Well constructed , every note is well placed and partof the whole melody.
Same for the great guitar solo%u2014no fluff, just straight ahead playing, making every note count. Love your octaves.
Great job, full of soul, straight from the heart, and that's what counts. Keep on keepin' on. [ Reply to This ]
Shining example... &mdash 10/01/04 - 07:07:39 AM
of why MacJams is such a great online community. Not
only because of the talent displayed by this song. But, also
because Mcboy's suggestion was dead on. Resulting in a
better listening experience. Talented musicians taking
constructive comments, acting on them, and sharing the
results. One of the highest scores I've ever given a song.
Thanks. 8999 [ Reply to This ]
Great song! &mdash 10/02/04 - 06:47:30 AM
I would love to hear another piece by you both with
interplay between the two instrument. Call and answer.
There is a real emotional depth to the sax.
Fabulous! [ Reply to This ]

A whiff of Summertime &mdash 10/04/04 - 06:49:56 AM
And ooh I like it. 9999. I'm a bit hesitant over the end
synth though... but this is great stuff. Jeez i love sax.
My humble opinion,

Great blues &mdash 01/02/07 - 10:12:38 AM
Great sound, totally captures that lonesome, smokey club atmosphere. I ought to be listening to this while slowly getting hammered, but I'm at work. Oh yeah, and I don't drink. But were it not for those two obstacles...
Anyway, great job here guys. [ Reply to This ]
