Hi guys, this is a tune inspired by a piece by Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane, do not remember the title, but anyway, at certain times they play the melody at unison, just a few bars,that caught my ear, so I tried to recreate that, then this tune was born after quite a few tries

Nice one, Mike. Enjoyable listen. Good mix. With the crowd noises it really sounds like a "live album".

You did not list any piano soloist RT... how was it done? - it's quite nice..

Hi Mike,

well done.
Enjoyable listen.
Liked the doubling. You used the Realcharts, didn't you?

Mike,

This is fabulous. I take it you're playing a wind controller on this but it's quite accurate and your putting down some intelligent stuff with it. So good to hear something like this on the Forum. When I saw Coltrane-Monk, I thought to myself, "WHAT? No, this can't be right." Well, it's right, sure enough. The right changes, the right ideas. Great, man.

More of this! More!

Thanks Floyd, Guenter and Dean for the listen, I consider all of you a referent in your individual talents as musicians, I really appreciate it. Floyd, the piano solo is a midi track, that's why there is not a listing as an RT; Guenter yes, good ear, I used the real charts, and Dean, no, no wind controller here, that was a sax RT, then used the real chart with a piano (Addictive Keys) patch. Since the nuances of both instruments are totally different, the use of a different instrument patch can produce very interesting results and most of the time very unpredictable.
More to come

Mike, You did it again. A great composition and mix. Your understanding of these types of changes is very advanced. The stuff that you and Dean post continues to blow me away. Love listening to it, attempting to play anything like this would be impossible for me. Great track! Tom

Outstanding. I can picture Thelonious shifting around
on his seat and doing those one finger key strikes.

Great!!!!

I had to listen to this because of the title as I was introduced to Thelonious Monk's music when I was 13 or 14 or so, but didn't understand it for many years.

great live feel and thanks for the explanation and your use of Real Charts.

excellent

Super sweeeeet!! I can imagine a rainy NY city late night with cars slowly driving down the street, and neon signs in the windows. The live vibe really took it over the top. Probably my favorite of your many, many fine posts!! Take care. Greg

Hi Mike,

Very smooth indeed. Because of the background ambience, it's incredibly easy to visualise this performance on stage. The mix sounded great on my system.

Regards,
Noel
