Hey all.. Happy New year!
Was playing around with the prs3000 during the holiday break and a jazz style caught my attention and made a new tune up with it... Really love the violin sound on the break.. Thought it was very rich.. Alto sax added flavor I think.. I recorded a bit diffrent ran a dynamic mic through my keyboard shure 58, I thought it bleneded better with the tune than the studio mic... Very fun for a change..

Anyway, check it out if you have the time...
Tune is called "jive" http://www.soundclick.com/pro/view/01/default.cfm?bandID=313920&content=music
Thanks guys!

Fun song to listen to. I liked your feel for the song and the sax parts. Some parts seemed to be at the top of your vocal range. Perhaps a lower key might suit you better. Your counter melody during the solo didn't work for me. A little disjointed. Finally, I wouldn't call this a Jazz song. To my ears it's a samba or latin/rock/pop. But not jazz. As always, IMHO.

Well done.

Hey beachbum-

I enjoyed it also, but I do agree with Robert's comments across the board. You've clearly got some chops...

Looking forward to hearing more...

Cool stuff, Beachbum.

Your vocal sound/style seems to have a similar quality to the singer "Sting".

Very enjoyable.

Ian

Thanks for taking the time... I agree with what you folks caught.. I just stuck something in break while I was making up the tune and by the time I was going to re-do it, I just got so use to what I did I stuck with it.. Ran the synamic mic so the voxs are a little hot... Ah, well, just messsing around on my christmas break...

Thanks for listening!
