In honor of Gerry Mulligan. I generated Bass/Drum parts in BIAB, exported to Studio One Pro, recorded the two baritone sax parts (which were also produced in printed format in Finale).

Video was done in Magix Vegas Pro 16 with licensed video clips from VideoBlocks and a variety of plugins.

Not necessarily my best playing of all time, but a lot of fun to do.

Hi MarcA,

welcome to the forum.

Your song is a very pleasant entry and a good tribute to GM. Enjoyed the listen (and also the watch!) a lot.

Cheers,

Stefan

Are quoting Mulligan phrases or is this an original melody?

Nice tune and very well done. I really like the swinging feel and style, and it blends very well with the percussion and rythm section.

Hello, there, 'MarcA'...

Your baritone sax performance in Barifone is so fine, so melodic in a uniquely jazzistic sense, and so warm and mellow in its harmony, that I believe you really don't need to mention Gerry Mulligan, as doing so could distract a listener from experiencing the pleasure of absorbing your own sound and style. But, of course, there's certainly nothing wrong with honoring the man, eh?

Your use of Band-in-a-Box to fashion such a straight-ahead, coolly swinging and upbeat jazz composition is most welcome on the forum. The software's jazz music-making chops are peerless and deserve more extensive use, in my humble opinion, at least. Your solo has a relaxed, jaunty quality that would get fingers snapping and feet tapping out time with joy.

What's most interesting is that only last week, I discovered a Gerry Mulligan album from 1965 titled, Feelin' Good, which I enjoyed deeply. And then, I came across Barifone. Quite a fortuitous set of circumstances I'd say, and very welcome at that!

I listened to Barifone at least six times as I wrote this! Believe me when I say I'll be 'listening out' for more music from you on the User's forum. Thank you posting such a nostalgic, skillfully composed, and delightfully performed piece of authentic jazz music smile.

Most sincerely,

LOREN

Hi Marc,

That was a really fine performance. I love the sound and tone you get out of the baritone saxophone. I liked your very stylish video as well!

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Hi Marc,

You've done a really great job with this. Your two sax tracs sound super and the backing band is a perfect fit.

As I'm sitting here listening and typing, it's so easy to see you and your group on a jazz club's stage in my mind. It's that realistic.

I really enjoyed listening.

Welcome to the forum!
Noel

Marca, you blow a mean bari!

I really like this. You captured Gerry Mulligan perfectly. I could listen to this genre all night long.

Excellent work!
