All blues ... (all funk ???)

Hi,
I tried to disassemble and reassemble the jazz standard "All Blues" by Miles Davis.
It came out a tune in 4/4 (the original was in 6/8) in funky style.

The band:

_JZFNKAS.STY (JazzFunkGroovin &AltoSolo):
RealTracks in style: ~1433:Basso, Elettrico JazzFunkGroovin Ev16 110
RealTracks in style: ~1437:Piano, Elettrico, Ritmico JazzFunkGroovin Ev16 110
RealTracks in style: ~1435:Chitarra, Elettrica, Ritmica JazzFunkGroovinChords Ev16 110
RealTracks in style: ~1441:Sax, Alto, Solista JazzFunkGroovin Ev16 110
RealDrums in stile: JazzFunkGroovin^1-a:HHSdStk, b:HHSnr

ZZFUNK.STY (during the drums solo)
RT628_Basso,El,FunkPizzSlap Ev100_0 (during the bass solo)

I play the electric piano solo (Dexibell S3)


I hope you enjoy it.
Excellent job. Can easily imagine this being playing live in a nice club on the beach front.

Enjoyed my listen.

Angelo, that was smokin'! You were really tickling those keys! Good work. I appreciate all the work it took to break all that down. Thanks, Torrey
Sensational arrangement, this really has got everything going for it.

Well done.

Thanks Charlie, I'd be happy to play it in any club (but on a beach would be much better)

Bob, thanks so much for listening and for the compliments!
I though we could not do cover songs. I though they all had to originals.
Never mind.
This is an amazing arrangement! The keys solo is wonderful, too. Fantastic job! Loving the bass solos as well.
You have done a phenomenal job with this song! I really enjoyed your piano solo smile

This is today's Hot Forum Topic!

Thank you so much Will!
For the bass solo I used RealBand replacing the rhythmic bass created by BIAB

Hi Callie, thanks so much for the compliments and the highlighting on the forum!
Love that drum solo part.

Yes, this is a cover. It's a creative cover, in 4/4 with a very nice funk feel, but it uses the original chords and melody (except for the last two bars). It is a copyrighted instantly-recognizable song from the best-selling recording in the history of jazz: Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

Islansoul and Matt, I apologize, I'll never do it again!
Angelo, you do nice work. Really.

It's not your fellow users' place to say whether this song belongs here. Islansoul asked a question, and I gave my opinion.

I admit, I'm puzzled that PG Music staff found the song complies with the guidelines stated at the top of this forum, but if they didn't say anything, you have nothing to apologize for.
Hello, Angelo

Very authentic jazz tune!
Piano playing is so nice. The sounds are so cool.
In order to avoid the copyright problem, I think it may be a proper way to cut the main melody or to give an original melody to the chord progression or to play the whole part with your improvisation only and change the title.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
