Description Loosely based on a previous tune I did with GregD: Gone. Electric pianos, bass, sax and drums were all played through my keyboard. What do you think?

	Loose It's funny you used the word 'loosely' in your song description because it's the looseness of the groove that I really love about this song. This sounds very genuine, especially considering that this was all played through the keyboard, even the drums. I think that probably adds to the loose feel, which is a really good thing.

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Ledebutant Thanks for listening in. This is a fun idea to jam to, and I do that quite a lot, but the problem has been that when I record it the rhythms turn out too irregular, too loose in fact. Its good to hear that by building the song up carefully I didn't lose the laid back feel of the groove :)

	magnatone said 320 days ago
	Long Gone I agree w/ledebutant - it's the looseness that makes it work. I really like it - very impressive you did it all w/keyboard. That's no easy feat! Thanks

	KCsGROOVE said 320 days ago

	Long Gone what do I think ? jee ..this is amazing ..I wont say more about your elect Keys ...but the sax just groovey ..great song my friend thnx for sharin !

	thetiler said 320 days ago
	Like the cool easy going way it starts out and continues nice. Like the sound of that sax. Sax sounds terrific through the mic. Like how it is placed in my Sony MD V700 headsets. Love that headset to listen to those neat sounds here. Thanks for sharing!

	Nice Work, cool sax,cool music period...

	spitlogic said 320 days ago
	something missing I think some vocals would do well with this particular joint. I can see myself in a smoke filled jazz club checking out a sensual singer in red with you on the keys.

	Moviz said 320 days ago
	I agree with Ledeb' about the 'looseness'.... it gives a really relaxing 'city after dark' feel. All the instruments sound very convincing, especially for me the Sax... the vibrato sounds just right: nice sound and I know what you mean about the irregularity of rhythms... I've had that prob. too, but gave up and resorted to loops ( I'm just a coward), regards M

No way
Played on keys mabye I had too much wine tonight but this was the highlight!!!!! excellent cant believe you achieved such great sounds with your keys . Just let me say the fact that you used your keys is irrelevant the whole jam is a search for a note that Coltrain would be proud of. great mix up almost A live feel the way you give each instrument a shine in the spot light very cool!!!!

	I think... ...you've got such a mellow arrangement going here, Bill, that it's impossible to resist its charm. You've got a real handle on how all these pieces fit together to make a satisfying, musical whole. Loose and full of energy. I am always fascinated by how "real" a song like this feels when care is taken to do it up right. Wonderful track intelligently conceived. Cool. Peace. Paul

	dirigent said 319 days ago
	cool I like this smooth sax. And the looseness mentioned above, yeah - makes it work ... Lovely track full of atmosphere. An instant favorite!!

	lengold said 318 days ago
	A few years ago I used to frequent some small jazz clubs is some of the seedier parts of London. This took me straight back - smokey - boozey - late night... wait a minute I'm getting my coat on I'd forgotten how much fun they were. This just sound so live Bill... REALLY impressive. Love it.

Errr...loosely....right...well, as I commented just a minute ago on your comment, you are a very talented person. What is the fusion btw in Jazz-Fusion? A fusion with...mmm...Drum-n-Cymbal? Hihihihi. Still, I stand in awe. My only sugggestion, since everything is so organic, would be to add a little variation on the Cymbals, perhaps a little roll or hit a hit on the cymbal with a brush (as opposed to a stick). Please consider it critique in the Greek sense, e.g. constructive. What I friggin digged is the Bass, where did you get that from?
Ciao! Marc

	Vic Holman said 318 days ago
	late night gig there's always those great keys. But what a job on the sax and upright bass, sounds great.

	Mcboy said 318 days ago
	that sax sounds convincing.......keyboard produced.....not bad.....sounds like u were thinking like the instrument u were playing..if u know what i mean....very west coast jazz sounding....kool

	bud said 317 days ago
	GregD - now there's a good guy I miss Hope he's doing well in India. Man I'm really impressed with the sax sound you're getting here - not just the sound but the feel - that's what makes it work - feeling the breathing - and you've got that down. Excellent. The rest is cool too. Very nice composition and production.

	Smoky haze A great night tune. Warm and nonchalant. Loved it. Downloaded, though I can't smoke anymore in bars (and don't go anymore)

	Doadars Uncle said 315 days ago
	Hey Bill I'm a sucka for this sound! It was faved before the first 45 seconds, then it expanded! Nice! Doug

apb said 313 days ago

Very cool ..

.. the loose feel is indeed awesome .. and the sax sounds very convincing to me. Perfect for a little smokey jazz club/bar scene in a movie .. I'm with spit .. expecting the sultry bluesy female vocal to come in.

Mix balance is excellent .. my only small suggestion (apart from considering adding vocals) would be the bass sound .. of all the sounds, it'a little too clinical .. I wanted/expected a little more dynamic there .. bit heavier slap .. the odd slide down, some fretnoise .. would enhance the illusion.

You might consider asking musichead for some upright bass playing for this??

	Great syncopation. Very laid back and cool. Loved the sax and the mood. Nice work. Best, Charlie

	Nice! Wonderful sounds going here. I love those beats. Very nice piano sound... relaxing one! Thanks for sharing! Take Care - Yeman A. Al-Rawi

	Magnatone Happy to hear you like the tune. To get other instruments sounding good takes a little practice because they "attack" the notes differently, but since most are monophonic, its not too hard. Drums on the other hand are tough, the drums here are sparse, but it is the rhythm I wanted :)

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Kenta Thanks! And now if I could play all the parts at the same time!!!

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Lightman Thanks for the kind comments. Sax is a tenor sax soundfont, its also featured on "Modown"

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	KCsGroove Thanks for listening and commenting. Glad you like the way it sounds, live performance is something I work towards.

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Feter Your welcome, always a pleasure to play for listeners like you.

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Thetiller Been real busy and didn't think to listen through the head phones, glad it sounds good that way too.

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Davevan Glad you stopped by for a listen :)

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Spitlogic "sensual singer in red" -- I like the way you think, it would be great to hear some vocals with this. Thanks for the suggestion.

	peacepiano said 320 days ago
	Moviz Glad your stopped by. I have to be clear on the the drums, I played them, but the part is only a few bars long, and then it is repeated (like a loop ;)

	peacepiano said 319 days ago
	Egobandit I won't pretend to be up to Coltrane's level, but sets like his are a model I like to follow. Glad you enjoyed the tune.

	Bud Breathing keys, I like that. Always try to make my percussive instrument more melodic. GregD is back. He posted a piece of electronica a week or so back. I haven't seen him in the forums or commenting much though, so he may be picking up loose ends at home after such a long trip.

	peacepiano said 318 days ago
	Paul Sounds like I stopped at the right point on this tune. I did a lot of other improvised lines, especially for the electric piano, but came back to this with just enough structure for the listener to hold on to.

	peacepiano said 318 days ago
	dirigent Glad you like the sound. Its especially nice to hear from new listeners:)

	peacepiano said 318 days ago
	Lengold Great idea, I think I will head out to one of those jazz bars soon too!

	peacepiano said 318 days ago
	JustBase You are right on tonight, Mr Base. The fusion is with rock, and perhaps this is a little more like pure jazz, genre choice is not exactly an exact science :) Now, those cymbals: you are on target again. I find doing percussion more than a little daunting and tend toward the minimum. Here a little more could improve the tune. Thanks for the close listen.

	peacepiano said 318 days ago
	Vic Thanks for stopping by. That bass part is the source inspiration of the whole tune, glad you noticed it :)

	peacepiano said 317 days ago
	Mcboy I tell myself to think like a sax player, but since I don't play sax, that is not always enough. I do listen to a lot of jazz with sax parts, that must help some too :) Thanks for stopping by.

	peacepiano said 315 days ago
	Youra Glad you like the tune. I don't smoke and very rarely go to bars anymore, also.

	peacepiano said 315 days ago
	Doug Always a pleasure to provide sounds you can enjoy!! Thanks for stopping by.

	peacepiano said 312 days ago
	Apb Some thought provoking comments. It would be difficult to add the vocal part, because I don't have a lyric. But the idea of letting Musichead add some real player flair to the bass line sounds possible. Thanks.

	peacepiano said 309 days ago
	Charlie Thanks for the visit. Glad you liked the tune :)

	peacepiano said 256 days ago
	BIrdman Three listens in one night! You must be looking for some mellow keyboard sounds :) I really appreciate the listens.
