Bestest horn section stuff around!! Great groove, and you’re proving conclusively that a bass does not need to be plugged in to drive the funk!

This brings an entire different feel out of Helena’s pell (compared to your reggae take). Both are superb- I can’t pick a fav. It amazes me how you can do just about any style. Who are you, Jeris? :) The horns in this are off the hook. Well done all around.

Thank you! According to Google, I’m a vintage hair tonic that ‘rates cheers’ with Ronald Reagan and a bunch of other famous dead people…lol
Seriously though, I’m really a horn player more than a piano player, but I haven’t played the trumpet in many years. I plan on changing that, but for now…thank god for virtual instruments :) |

lol… Google has an answer for everything, eh?
Oooo… Real, live trumpet samples may be in the foreseeable future? Sweeeeet. I played trombone in school… I could probably add some basic toots… |

The beginning reminds me of David Brubeck’s “Take Five”. Bass, Piano and drums sound similar. And then this feelings fades away.
Snowflake cannot ed pick you again, so I’ll feature this one as song of the day. :) http://musik.klarmachen-zum... |

Fantastic drum and piano groove, I adore the complicated polyrithmic voice contrasted to the raising horns. Very well done, and infectuous.
Straight to my fav’s playlist. |

Thank you! Everytime I work with a Bill Ray drum sample I try not to do any quantizing or sequencing. I did that the first time I worked with a sample of his and it didn’t quite work. So, everything was just played to the sample live. That parts easy enough, but getting the vocals tight is another story. There’s some timing issues, hopefully I’ll have time to work them out tonight. Can’t adjust them visually…actually have to listen…lol.
I still want it to be loose, but not too loose :) actually my playing is probably too loose in places as well. |

Gots the cool Dave Brubeck groove, J. Really dig the vocals. Helena well conveys the retro soul jazz feel.
