Hey Core!

Thanks for the reply.....Ronny Jordan...I remember some years back he had a smooth jazz 'hit' After Hours that I just loved and still do though I haven't heard it in years.

The common denominator between him & I is probably the venerable Wes Montgomery-Ronny is obviously heavily influenced by Wes as am I. Way back when I used to copy Wes' solos note for note as best I could-he had an uncanny ability to 'sing' through the changes of a jazz tune-he somehow managed to find the sweetest notes.

I started listening to jazz horn & pianists years ago (as apposed to Rock guitarists).

If anyone's interested in great, great jazz guitar try and find the album-Beginnings, Wes Montgomery from Blue Note Records-outstanding!

(its not so smooth but a touch fusion) - but its such good work - I didn't listen to the original version (this is 5.48 long - actually would like to,I have played its several times and did not get bored - Great more please.

Hello Sollo.

Your kind words mean sooooo much to this lonely ol' dude-they really do! These comments inspire me to write & post more tracks and anotherone is on the way-thanks!

To be honest I did NOT play the bass all the way through. I did play 8 and 16 bar measures on the guitar (I triggered Trilian's Studio Bass) and looped them-cheater! I did leave the phrasing/ timing pretty much untouched-human feel? During the solo I improvised the bass to give it some interest.

wavephonic wrote:great how you opened the track, cool little hh breakdown. nice bass and guitar sound. I can hear some influences, not a bad thing.
I didn't get bored, I loved the melodic side to it so I just bopped along.
maybe a better finish as its so smooth and then gets cut.
enjoyed the track

Yo wavephonic!

Thank you sooooooo much for the words of encouragement-way cool of you!

When I pull the track out in the future to 'tighten' it up I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

I'm checken your site/music now.....very nice acoustical guitar tone/playing! How are you getting that sound?

Very much so and I like that a lot!! The guitar work and sound reminded me more of the mid 80s output of Pat Metheny though (think: "Still Life Talking" era). Very nice stuff (just like that other track you did was)
Keep up the good work :)

Yeah K-Bee! I'm listening to your MySpace playa now-funky! Are you a pianist?

Pat Metheney!. Oh my God. I've always been a huge fan of his-the whole band. I'm not even close to being worthy of that compliment but I'll take it!!!! Thank you!!!

You keep the good work up too!!!!

Yes I had The Antidote album in mind when I wrote the comment. I'll check Wes Montgomery. :tu:
