Christmas Classic

[Mark Kaufman]

A little jazz instrumental here. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7420553

Hey - nicely done... especially like it about 2:10 when the piano gets active.

Very slick production! I like it!! Maybe some chord change a bit further in wouldn't hurt, so you don't use the same chord throughout the song. Just an opinion. The piano solo around 2.20 is REALLY nice!

nice stuff here Mark. I want to throw my 2 cents in here and tell you how cool the bass is.

Raised from the dead!! Bill, good to see you. Thanks everyone. It actually came from a collaboration that didn't work quite right (this music wasn't appropriate for the lyric), but I was too curious to see how people might respond to the music in general, so I lost the vocal and played the melody on guitar, and gave it a red herring title. Some day I hope to post this as an entirely different song, but it seems like the music is on the right track. Appreciate the feedback, thanks!Yeah Bill, I was trying to make my Rickenbacker pretend it was standing up and fretless.

Ahhh... always a place in my heart for these jazz brushed piano tinkling pieces. Must be Charlie Brown memories. Nice... something odd pops out ocasionally, like at 1:16.... perhaps a miss voiced piano chord under the bass? Chris

Mark, This is great. Sounds real clean. I too love when the piano gets more active after 2 minutes. Jazz is undeniable.Andy

Hey Mark Kaufman!HA! Yeah, I can hear that Rick tone! Nice tune dude! I know this probably gets old, but maybe some jingle/sleigh bells or somethin' to give it more of a Christmas-y feel? I dunno, just throwin' some things out there! GOOD job!ibanez468

merry christmas john,merry chirstmas yoko,happy christmas mark!nice guitar work, just found the piano chording in the back a bit trudging/plodding (early on anyway), but when the jazz lead comes in, very nice indeed. think the cymbal work is very good, but a bit high in the eq to my ears--note: i'm not listening on my cans like usual, on speakers that are mediocre at best. oh when the lead guitar comes BACK in, it seems a bit too up front there...nice work, as always!wh
