Jazz Abstraction


Hi All
Yesterday I did 4 improvisations on a keyboard to Billy Jean.
The Improv's were in different keys A, F , C , Bb... I was just using micheals vocals as a basic guide. I opened the midi's with :

M_JAZSWN.STY Jazz Swing Piano Trio [140 MST]
Jazz swing style with ac. bass & piano MIDI SuperTracks & JazzTerryClarke RealDrums.
Bass plays 'in-2' at A, then switches to a walking pattern at B. (MST-Ac.Bass, MST-Piano, Drums=JazzTerryClarke^05-Br

1917 : Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 110
1896 : Piano, Rhythm Jazz Sw 110
438: Sax. Alto, Older Sw 140 (Bluesy)

So this is 4 songs combined with all conflicts removed.

Hope it's not too abstract for you... thanks for the listen

Sounds Jazzy and cool my friend!

But I am confused.

Where is Ozzy and the ear-splitting guitar shredding? I thought you were a heavy rock God.

What are you doing being so jazzy??????

Really nice job on this, LPman smile I love the groove on it. It definitely has some abstraction to it - but I found it flows really well despite it.

Thanks for sharing this!

I need a whiskey and a cigarette and some background noise of glasses knocking about and I'd feel like I was at Snug Harbor in New Orleans listening to Ellis Marsalis.

I always enjoyed that and I enjoyed this composition.

Hi David Snyder,
I am only a "Common Creative Attribute" heavy rock God....
I have to pay a licence for using "Magix Music" if I want
to profit from my music.... Right now... I am an unlicensed, heavy rock God!

thanks for your cool SC comment & your inquiring unintentional but embarrassing question...lol

Thanks Deryk - PG Music,

this was an insane project using vocals of Billy Jean, because the styles didn't match. Not sure if this qualifying method would be reliable... Below is Micheal Jackson sing along "Jazz Abstraction"

Micheal Jackson singing over this song to remove all the the musical conflicts

I appreciate your Snug Harbor in New Orleans listening to Ellis Marsalis mental picture. Thanks for posting

Evocative jazz - clever concept and recording.
Very nice work.

Hello, LPman

Yes, this is exactly an abstract jazz!
But very comfortable!
I have no idea at all how you got an idea for this tune.
I feel I would like to peek into your head once.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks so much Shigeki Adachi,

If you click below: Creative Commons: Tethered 2018

The piano & bass midi files for "jazz abstraction"
But most importantly is a billy jean vocals sung over my jazz abstraction song... that's how I wrote song...
I then removed the billy jean vocals... I could write many songs this way.... and I might!
