Hi everyone , been working on this one for a few weeks or so off and on . Hope you enjoy the trumpet , Sax , voilin and piano sounds along with the electrica sounds I created .
The second section is very low end and it was intended to be that way , just thought I would pass that over to Shad .

cheers!

James, you got this year off to a good start!  This is moody, sophisticated, and something that I would want to listen to again just to let it soak in.  I hear a lot of depth in this which shows off your engineering skill quite well.  Way to go, bro.

         Hey thanks Lynn , thanks for the listen and comments on this tune . My creative
         process was slow going the first week , after a week I ditched everything except
         for my drum track and started over again .
 
         Thanks again Lynn - James 
 

Nice vibe and tones.  Michael Franks uses that sound a lot, almost trumpet like.

The intro seemed abrupt, just an observation.   I like heavy back beat.

          Hi Daryl , thanks ! Yea the intro sort pops right in with the horn , I started out
          with something slightly different and deleted it thinking I would add it back in
          later and sort forgot to do that .
 
          Thanks for the listen - James

I think this might be your best yet James. The mix sounds nice and clear, and you've made good use of the stereo field. I like the little touches like the arpeggio sequence that pops in at 1.00. Nice change of feel around the 2.00 mark before the sax comes in. Good stuff.

          Thanks for the listen & comments , in this one I tried out some different things
          in Project 5 to mix with and I think that made a difference this time around .
          I also spend extra time mixing each track trying to get that sound I was looking
          for , I think that paid off for me on this tune too .
          My wife who tells me like it is with most of my songs said this time she really liked
          this tune I did over my past songs so in my mind the disco lights lit me up
          inside with dang I don't believe it she really likes this one ! LOL
 
          I guess the art of creating & mixing music is taking your time to sort everything
          out when creating & mixing and don't be affraid to try new things out when
          learning how to mix .
          None of this is perfect but when I compair this tune from most of my past tunes
          I do think I made a postive jump forward if your talking about mixing .
          John who who uses Project 5 truly knows his stuff when you start talking
          how to mix using Project 5 , someday I hope to catch up with him if I live that
          long .
 
          Anyway thanks for your comments and I'm glad you enjoyed this one I posted.
 
          Let 2013 be the best year for all of us !

What do you call this genre modern jazz? Its a little bit Dizzie Gilespie here, good vibes on the brass and over all an interesting song.

          Thanks for the listen and comments , well I call it modern smooth Jazz . Reason
           is because I did use some Jazz drum patterns plus the instruments I used like  
           the trumpet , sax and violin and some piano but I guess it all depends
           on your taste in music .
           My Dad listened to alot of modern Jazz and old Jazz , I sort of
           grew up listening to some of the Jazz he was playing in the 60's . My favorite
           Band was the Beatles back then but Jazz always seem to creep back into
           my mind . I always loved listening to some of the great Jazz horn players , maybe
           thats why I favor the trumpet and Sax .
 
           Thanks - James
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thanks to those who commented on this tune of mine , I think my next song will be something with lyrics & vocals in it .
UMMMMMMM guess it will be a surprise , maybe an old song I wrote back in 1996 using old recording gear I had back then .

Be back in the next three months , Cheers - James
