I'm bleeding from your Lowellian brutality!
Sax is
a Roland U-20, patch still needs tweaking and I've got go back into the head and solo to fix a few notes to make it more credible.
Drums are the same ones I used on Bedlam, Korg XC Jazz Kit. Got your PM. I'll ring you up after Easter.
Sam
Thanks for the ears. Ya, I gotta go back in and fix those obvious 'spots'.
Also I agree that the incidental percussion is to hot and must be eq'd further.
I like the tune too. As a composer for hire, I've gotta write in a variety of styles. ( I'm due for a 'heavy one' soon though, I'll do one this year and and fulfill your expectations. This one will probably end up being sold outright ( no royalties,
sigh) to HP or the likes for background to an 'industromercial' as some of my previous stuff of this style has. ( The chics in marketing like this smooth jazz stuff ) They'll make me edit out the Star Spangled quotes though and change the title of course to something really creative like " Musicbed #27 in G with Saxophone.LOL.
No, not a cover. The licks just come. (They'd better, I've transcribed enough friggin' solos.
Ped
For sure the verb's comin down esp on the snare.
Thanks for the PM. You sir, are a gentleman.
Tok
You're a poet, man! Gotta love it!
I'll 'hack the thack' and EQ it for a thumpier attack and take the kit down a 'c.h.'
I love Abraham, Thanks. ( but Jaco was my man )
Thanks for the kind words.
Smokepole
Agreed! Thanks for the listen!
buck
Thanks for stoppin' by. Ya, man. "When in doubt, use perfect 4th triad arpeggiated or a diminished scale!"
Toki's playing on one of my tunes later this year. ( he just doesn't know it yet, shhhhh!)
I'll catch you over @ Fostex later this week!
Lt. Bob
Thanks for the PM . I truly appreciate it! I'll get back to you on all discussed w/ a PM later this week.
Nothing beats a real smokin saxman or any burnin' live player for that fact! (as long as they've made enough trips to the shed)
Ya, a couple of deceptive changes made this piece work. Maybe a few more in the bridge would shake it up a bit, and/or a couple of polyrythms...hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I like the bass though, in fact I thought it might have been a little to slappy. Are you listening through big ass woofers or phones?
I'm sure when both our schedules relax a tad, we'll get some tracks laid down together and have a ball doin' it!

Thanks for the listen and your input. If I sold this one outright as a music bed, the people who buy it couldn't hear the difference between a sax and a zither!
