Old School Swing Listing

Post by jazznjesus » Fri Jul 09, 2021 10:25 am

Hi All, I'd love any suggestions on this track. I do think the drum intro bar and the last piano chord still need changing. Any other advice is definitely welcomed.

That's a fun track. I'd like to hear the drums hitting with the horn section more... those short horn hits behind the melody, have the snare hitting with them, and add some more drum energy setting up new phrases and kicking behind the excellent soloist. If I remember correctly, the screener that usually handles this genre is an excellent jazz drummer, so the drums have to be really authentic to past muster. :)
