Its a Cool Morning

It was 95F (35C) one day then 58F (14C) the next morning, thus a cool morning. I thought I would try some cool jazz.

BiaB style - Jazz at T=60 = Slow Jazz
Tempo = 60

Bass - MIDI Super Track = 1916:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz, Sw 085 - Ample bass - preset = Upright bass

Piano = MIDI Super Track - 2071:Piano, Rhythm ModermJazzBallad SW 060- Waves Grand Rhapsody

Guitar - Kontakt - Jazz Guitar

Drums = Steven Slate SSD-5 - Deluxe Jazz brushes

Me via my wind controller - Swam Trumpet and Swam Tenor Sax

FX = Raum reverb on all but upright bass and kick drum

Presonus compressor on upright and rhythm guitars

The drums were placed on separate track with all of the cymbals getting CLA Drums - preset - overhead mics while all of the drums getting different CLA drums for each, i.e. snare, toms, and kick.

Tub Saturator Vintage on the master.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Mario,

Very nice - thanks for this chill-out music.

Best Regards
Nigel

Another fantastic instrumental. It certainly has a quality to it that makes me think about the colder months, so I think the title you chose is quite fitting! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mario, very nice melody, maybe bring a little to the front the trumpet at the beguining. Other than that terrific tune.

Mario,

This is excellent... You need to make a "cool jazz" album. This would be a great Side B opening track.

Bob

Great track, Mario.

What wind controller do you use?

Patrick

Well, Mario, we don't have cool mornings these days, so that cool breeze was very welcome.
All instruments sound excellent.

Cool - what else...?

Cheers,

Stefan

Mario,

Cool. relaxing music. Nice job on blowing the horns... It all sounds good. Nice mix.

My kind of jazz, you played the changes well, a real pleasure to listen to. Love that wind controller.

Has that feel of a steady trek into a cool breeze.

Thanx everyone for listening and commenting on this song that was based on the cool jazz era of Miles, Coltrane, etc. I appreciate all of those comments.

Patrick, I use an Akai EWI-USB wind controller:

The kind of music I can get lost in......and not want to be found!!! Really pretty composition and a sweet mix!! EXTREMELY pleasant listen Mario!!! Kind of a modern day Kinda Blue!! It's roasting over here in California so I'll hope for a cool morning! Take care. Greg

Very cool listen Mario. Loved the mix. Well done

Mario,

Nice arrangement, so easy to sink into and enjoy—even for a non-jazz guy like me. Quite the clarity in the production—each instrument clearly heard, working together hand in hand. Really impressive in that regard. Great work!

All my best,

Deej

Hello Mario,

The song sounds so clear. Very good! It is like Deej wrote, all instruments can be heard well. That is a very good achievement in a song with many instruments. For my taste the song was a bit to slow, but as I said, it's a matter of taste.
I really enjoyed it,

Hans

It's a hot humid morning here. Nothing is cool except for this song!

What an amazing mix of varied music tracks from many source with standout performances on the wind controller.

We need a vid of you doing that!

Ah....things are much cooler now. Enjoyed it!

J&B

Thanx Greg, Scott, DeeJ, Hans, and J&B for listening and those very nice comments. I greatly appreciate them.

Howdy Mario....

You've certainly cornered this late-night-jazz-club genre.
Especially, with your wind controller work.

I felt I was sitting in a jazz club at 01:15 looking at the remains of my watery drink knowing I need to get my last order in before for the last call.

Even though I would mix it a bit differently that's not a crit at all.
Moody, easy listening....I like it.
Well done.

Have a great weekend....

It's a hot morning here in VA. I'm drenched with perspiration after a morning walk. I am cooling down with a listen to your piece. Very nice and soothing. I've just been looking into the wind controllers, and it seems they come with brass fingerings, which is good because I'm a trumpet player. I don't think this old dog could learn the trick of woodwind fingerings. I enjoyed the song. Another masterful Mario composition.

Hey Mario,

This is smooth and cool!



Your music is very soothing too man. It helps me relax.

Ever thought of doing an album called The Soothing Sounds of Mario??

Ah, you show how cool is not just a temperature, Mario. What a wonderful talent to put this all together, and to do it in such an engaging way. You are inspirational, man.

Wow, that sound is fantastic. I could picture a club scene in a movie or TV show where they're featuring the band playing this. Great job!!

I don't think I've ever said this to you; but when I see you've posted in the showcase I get excited. There is a definite power in being able to write without words. To take someone on their own journey with you as the guide. It's really nice not having to over listen, or over exam. Just sit back and truly enjoy the music. I can't thank you enough for adding that for me many days.

Thanx chulaivet1966 for listening and those very nice comments.

Ezekiel's storm, thanx for listening. I'm glad that you liked it. I will send you a PM on my wind controller.

David, thanx so much. Nope no thought what so ever on an album.

Marty thanx for those outstanding comments.

Ronnie, many thanx for your comments. I like the club scene in a movie idea.

Hear to learn, I greatly appreciated your comments. It will take a few minutes for the swelling to go down on my head so I can go through the door!
