Midnight Romp

This is a remix of a song I first recorded back in 2010 with Andy Wigzell on Sax and Vox. A few people here may remember it, I first attempted a remix back in 2019

Remix has Marty on bass, also new drums. I just recently managed to connect with Andy again, maybe he will join us in the future on a song or two.

RealTracks in song: ~~1102:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzSwingGrooveComp Sw 190

Dave Bell: guitar
Marty Straub: bass
Andy Wigzell: sax and vox
Drums: EZDrummer2.

Mixed with Reaper, mastered with Ozone9.

All comments welcome!

Mornin' Dave....

I like this one a lot.
Great playing by all.

Bass is clear cut through very well, guitar is clean with great tone and (of course) who doesn't love the vibe a good sax line adds to a composition.
I've never used EZDrummer but the drum track sounds clean and crisp to my ears.

Well done gents....one that I would certainly listen to again.

Have a great day everyone.

Hi Dave,

Great song - my kinda music!

I was particularly taken with your guitar playing.

Also loved the guitar and sax playing main riff together - excellent.

Mix - spot on except a little bit messy for a few bars in he middle. But I'm sure you can fix it in the mix or simply cut it out.

Look forward to hearing more like this.

Best Regards
Nigel

'BlueAttitude' & company...

Oh, yeah, gentlemen, you talkin' the talk and walkin' the walk on this number !!! BIAB + talented User's Forum musicians = fun!

I actually got up off my bee-hind and busted some moves with an imaginary partner in front of a mirror. Thanks for the workout .

I couldn't make out exactly what the male voices were shouting. Gimme a line on it, won't you?

Dave,

Great playing by everyone. Love the guitar sax interplay - and the intro was superb.

Love those guitar lines (you got the tab!)....

Peter

(Can't hear anything that needs to be cut out).

Dave, that some fancy guitar chops man! You are a very versatile guitarist.

Super sax and of course Marty always lays down the perfect bass lines. I hope to hear more from this trio.

This is outstanding.

What the heck was that???????????? AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know that tune (in 2010 I was far too young, haha), so I'm really glad you presented that re-mix here today.

Toe-tapping stuff and so well-played by all of you: Dave, great job on the guitar. Marty, spot on, Mr Bassman. Great sax stuff, Andy.

And Mr EZD2 (also part of my band every now and then) once again really drove the nails home.

Congrats on this one, guys!

Stefan

Yeah, there is something special about having a sax in the mix, no question!

Thanks for the listen and comments



Hi Nigel,

I just recently connected back with Andy again, so it's possible we might do more. Thanks for the listen!

Oh, man, I am so glad you pulled this one out, brushed it off, changed the drums, and then invited me along for the fun. Dave, your chops are outstanding in so many genres. Someone suggested BiaB makes some RTs of you available for all of us. I second that. I'm also quite excited you not only dusted off this old track of your old friend, but then tracked him down and have him ready to do more. Andy is such a treat to listen to and a blast to play with. More more more.

Well now, if that ain't two-and-a-half minutes of good times. Had to listen more than once, but only because it was fun. Andy has a great light touch. You really brought the brightness and drive. Marty was all over the bottom end, melodic and interesting. All mixed up in a great sounding number on the monitors and phones. Much enjoyed.

Dave this song is truly great! There isn't a single thing that doesn't have me believing this is a band that has played together a lot. The vocal intro sold it from beat first word. I can picture the background vocals being done...seriously everything was so enjoyable!

I guess you're doing what all the kids are doing. Taking something from the past and making it new again. The difference is it's your own music each time!

REALLY great song my friend!

FUN, I could see a video along the lines of Don't Stop The Rock with the band leaning forward to shout the line.

Loved this tune. Dave your guitar playing on this reminded me of Brian Seltzer. Very cool tune. Marty some very tasty bass lines. Sax was awesome. Loved the mix too. Having the sax left and the guitar right gave the song a live feel. Well done

It swings!

Hi BlueAttitude,

It is a composition well done. I like the sax and the guitar solo which really play in harmony. The arrangement is excellent. I appreciated.

Kindly regard

Great playing, gentlemen and a style I love. Here's hoping Andy does join you in future for a song or two.

Dave,

Love the remix! It sounds brand new... Outstanding piece of music as usual.

Bob

Hi bluage, thanks for the listen and kind words!

The male voices are just saying "midnight romp"



Thanks for the support as always, Peter, very much appreciated!

Wow! Sounds great

Great musicianship and choice of drum sounds.

Thanks for sharing.

James

There are some folk here that deliver. You know you’re gonna get a goodun before you even hear it.

Truly well done. It is a pleasure to hear.

Tony

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!

EVERYBODY is in the pocket and hittin' the note.

It has the vibe of an extremely well honed band playing in a club.
And drawing folks in constantly off the sidewalk

The absolute definition of a toe tapper and we're glad you brought
it back!

Cookin'!

J&B

Might happen, now that we have reconnected that is certainly a possibility. Thanks, Mario!



Thanks Stefan, it was a fun one to do and Marty certainly kicked things up a couple of notches

Fun is what it's all about, thanks, Tangmo!



Really appreciate that, thanks, Caaron!

Dave, Marty, Andy...

A big WOW. (I remember it from before. Great "upgrade").

Cool vocals. Sweet sax!

Marty's bass is heaven.

Dave - LOVE your playing AND tone here. Chills.

Mix is excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed! Can't sit still...

fj

Yeah, that would be a fun video for sure. Thanks, Ray!



That guy is a monster player! I dig all those guys that do the swing blues style, Duke Robbilard is another that comes to mind. Thanks, Scott!



It does!



Happy you liked it, thanks for stopping by!

Hi Dave, Marty and Andy,

A nice swinging song from the old box. I can imagine a lot of people like it a lot.
It's played and remixed perfectly, like I'm used from you.
So a successful remix!

It is not really my taste, although I noticed my right feet was tapping. The sax must have caused that.
But after listening to it and browsing a bit on your site. Beautifully done by the way. In soundCloud you can't do something like that,
but back from Borneo..., I listened to Valantines way a couple of times. That's more my taste. Can't you do something like this one time?

So, great compliments for your song and also a request!

Hans

Dave, Marty, Andy,
BEYOND COOL!
Was not here for original, but remix + Marty sure sounds fantastic!
Everything top notch. Really enjoyed this one. Could be a very interesting collab, if Andy joins BA team for a gig or two.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. Yes Dave, when we will see RT's made for us?

Awesome stuff Dave and Marty! This track is EXCELLENT!! Dave the guitar work is different than what I've heard from you but man it's so good! Love that tone so much and the playing is killer!!! Same words also for Marty's part! I'm thoroughly impressed! Thanks, Torrey

Hey Leon, yeah, would be great to get Andy on a tune or two. Thanks for the kind words!



Thanks, Bob, appreciate that



Happy you liked it, thanks!



Hey Tony, haven't seen you around lately. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Bud, and thanks to Janice for the comment over on FB



Thanks, floyd!



I like to do lots of different styles of music, and swing blues has always been a favorite. Keeps things fresh to change things up. Valentines Way is a good song, but we have already done it, don't want to do variations of the same song every time.

Thanks for the listen!

Yeah, I can see it now. You have the choice of using a realtrack from Brent Mason or Dave Bell

Thanks, Misha, very much appreciated!



Don't really do this style much anymore, but dabbled quite a bit back in the day.

Thanks, Torrey! I see you have a new one up, I'll be along shortly to give it a spin.
