Standing Upright

Interesting, nice performances. 

Steve, I agree with Robbie, very interesting sounds going on in this piece and has a real band feel to it. Very nicely done and a great mix to boot. Enjoyed this for sure.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

It does in fact? What amazed me the most (as a bass player) is the sound of the upright by Mr. Kenny Kontakt? (interesting name, is he from one of those .DE countries?) He's very talented  You should hang on to that gent...
 
I'm hanging on to Mr. Markno999 like grim death... I'll be harder to leave than Glen Close in Fatal Attraction.

@ John - thank you!  I usually do tunes "for the studio" but felt this would be better suited for a live feel.  Good to know I'm in the ball park!
 
@ Monty - thanks!  Should I do a country-ish tune at some point I know who's site to listen to.   :)
 
@ Robbie - yes, Kenny is in fact a native of Germany.   I hear also likes rabbit stew.  
 
@ Tim - thank you for the kind words.  I really had fun putting this one together, and having good "instruments" to work with sure doesn't hurt.    
 

Thanks, Lynn!   I hadn't done anything remotely resembling jazz in a long time so figured it'd be a nice change.  Plus it does seem to be a less than common genre around these parts.
 

Why, thank you, Wookster.
 

Thanks, Cian!  
 
Funny, the intro was tweaked from its original pattern, but I probably spent the least amount of time on it vs. everything else (and particularly the last 30 seconds or so).   So certainly no argument there!  
 
Thank you for listening.
 

SteveC . . . what a lovable little track ! Made me chuckle, very fun to listen to, and I don't think I've heard anything like this in a while. Rhythmically creative, unpredictable, yet there is a recurring theme . . . it's not only jazzy - it also has a lot of theatre about it. 
So . . . what, you just woke up in a jazz mood one day ? (I've heard your other stuff, and it's very different)
I really like the way you have freed yourself from the 4/4 time signature.

@ Dan - Thanks!   Even though there are only four tracks I did have to mess with the panning and width of each one to get them to sit right, or at least reasonably realistic!
 
@ Ecurb - Thanks... I like "lovable".       Being a jazzy type number I did want it to have a little "liveliness" in the performance and bit of unpredictability within the given framework.   And yes, I more or less thought "hey, I like this acoustic bass sound, it bet it would work well in a jazz tune".   Hey, whatever it takes.  
 
@ George - Thank you.   I certainly was going for something a little different.  Once it started to lock in the live thing just seemed like the natural thing to do.   Unfortunately, though, I have no connection with the Mermaid and the Bouy - that was a bit of Forum Monkey business.   I like that song!  
 

very cool Steve - this would fool most people - the nuances of each instrument are superb and the use of reverb is perfect.

Thanks, Baps!    I hear what you're laying down....

@Gus - Thanks!  And the band thanks you as well.   
 
@Wayne - Thank you!  I can feel another tune in this style coming somewhere along the line...  Funny, I thought the same thing about the piano but figured maybe it was an aural illusion since its level doesn't change that much over the course of the tune, and it's just that first few lines.  I blame it on the venue.    

Thanks, Reece!    And the band thanks you as well.   
 

Good instrumental music. pleasant to listen to nice groove and melody lines
