5 for 5 on the jazz-standard instrumental listing

Post by niallyboy » Mon May 08, 2017 6:58 pm

I threw a gamut of stuff to screener 261-- ballad, uptempo, 3/4, even contemporary-- and they all stuck. Located on my TAXI page, they are Crystalline, Hush Puppies, Let's Kill Some Time Together (instr.), Quixote, and Upon the Moors.

I put a Christmas jazz album out a few years ago, and decided to "repurpose" the tracks by writing a new melody over the existing rhythm tracks, and the disguise worked. That said, are the ones in blue now recognizable?? You might tell by the changes. Oh, and Quixote is a re-purposed Beatles cover. What could that have been, pray tell?

Some lovely music there Niall. I really like 'Lets Kill Some Time Together'. That sure captures the mood!
Congratulations on the forwards.

Congrats on the jackpot, nothing like jazz can put you in the mood within 3sec!
Great tracks, different, but sound like they are from the same session.

Fun tracks; particularly like Hush Puppies, and the interplay tones of the sax against the Rhodes keys in Quixote - nice ear-candy!
A-list stuff; congrats, even though it's just from The Peanut Gallery. :)

Really nice stuff Niall!

Crystalline and Time Together remind me of Dexter's tone and laid back style.

Quixote brings me to a Chick Corea vibe with Joe Farrell on tenor.

Upon The Moors, a nice jazz waltz...

Great job man!
