Some Jazz

[Track Rat]

It's been a while since I've put anything up here. What a long strange trip it's been. A tune written by Horace Silver. Some friends and I on a weekend jam.

Ricki Don't Lose that Number - came into my head before the tune kicked in - nice!

How funny - is is Ricki Don't Lose That Number! I wonder if Steely Dan borrowed it?

Good song BTW - has a good sort of retro feel to it.

Thank you kindly. Yes, Steely Dan absolutely lifted that intro and turned it into Ricky. This is pretty much a live recording.

Yeah dead ringer for Rikki Don't Lose that Number at the start. Nice jam

It's an excellent mix Track Rat. Great tone on the keys and tasty keyboard solo. Guitar lead work is really good. The main thing I love about the guitar solo is that it's solid but not overplayed. So many jazz instrumentals have overplayed solos. Notes come at you like their coming out of a machine gun.
Guess what....
They've blown all their cookies in the first measure and it gets boring really fast. This tune showed some restraint and is MUCH more of a pleasure to listen to.
Great recording man!

Thanks kids. The last three years have been........interesting for me personally. Neither here nor there but I figure I still have some noise in me.

Takes me back to when I was in jazz class. A frequent jammer. Sounds nice Rat man. I like the hits on the accents. Sweetly cosmopolitan.
The keyboard player - get out - killer.
