Is like I stepped into a Smokey Bar in 70s San Fransisco. Interesting angle..that was a quick turn around too.Cheers!

or this could be from the lounge adjacent to the “restaurant at the end of the universe” with Marvin the manic depressive robot on the Saxophone :-)

I really like this retro futuristic remix - teetering right on that edge of control and chaos!

I listened to this briefly yesterday, and went back in to make a comment but my internet went out- I love it- and am thrilled to pieced it was ed picked. Sounds like Andy Mackay backed these guys up in a great funky jam.

I can see what teru meant by Steve Miller (especially the vox), but to me this has a Stones vibe too. In any case, the loose feel works nicely.

Hey now!

That_s a worthy Ed Pick!

This has a great charme and a fantastic sound in a light retro view. Indeed very smokey 70s San Francisco bar sound. And yes, guest musician Steve Miller!

Wonderful work RT!

Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment and to everyone else who has taken the time to give a review.

I have been asked this question before and the answer lies in the samples. I am not a sax player but I can play enough to make basic samples which I then map across the keyboard. I trigger these using the bottom keys and play them to fit the song. I then add bits and pieces of played notes as necessary to fit the mix and finally adjust everything in Melodyne. It sounds complicated but once you get used to it you can create some great realistic sounds on a variety of instruments. The secret is a combination of samples and live playing.

Take a look at Jordan Rudess he’s my mentor and a brilliant exponent of the technique

Don’t know what to say except that I like it and a joke:

A sax player dies and, obviously, goes to hell:
Devil: Wellcome, which is your job?
S.P.: I’m a sax player.
Devil: Ok. Then you must go to the Hell’s Big Band and play sax for all the eternity.
S.P.: Wow! That’s fine. But which is the punishment?
Devil: There aren’t solos…

Yes, the sax is great (it sounds and reads like a lot of work, but it pays off in the end), but so is the whole song.
