July 4, 200916 yr Not exactly jazz, but I am a jazz musician first and foremost and this odd little piece reflects it. 04 Little Train.mp3 From 1994, by the way. I'm playing keys, percussion, guitars, fretless bass and my wife and I are the vocalists. Hope it grooves you to some degree! Doug
July 5, 200916 yr Cool tune man. It reminds a bit of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - hope that doesnt offend you. I think its the banjo and the "world" music influences in your song that reminded me. I dig the artificial harmonics on the fretless-unless that's something else that im hearing, but it sounds like artificial harms. Peace.
July 5, 200916 yr Author Thanks, Guac! I love the comparison, although when I wrote this I had only heard of Bela Fleck and never actually heard him--but the idea of using banjo intrigued me. Most of the harmonics are sampled, though some are real on the fretless. I appreciate you listening.
July 7, 200916 yr Nice tune ... the other day for those of you who love seeing jazz artists preform live - i went to club 606 (south west london) didnt want o leave
July 8, 200916 yr Author Thanks, beef--so who was playing? I hear live jazz a lot, mostly from behind the piano these days but there are some outstanding players where I live.
