This takes us back to the days when the piano played the lead while the guitarist strummed softly in the background.

BiaB style = Nitefall - Easy Jazz Swing ala R. I kept the drums, the walking bass but deleted everything else.

JonD is playing the piano, I am playing the guitar.

Mario,

It sounds like you guys are sitting in an old jazz club in the late 50s... Absolutely great - love the mix and vibe.

Excellent!

Could this be Smokey Barr & the Blooz? Great sounding tune. Enjoyed my listen.

Yes I am thinking sounds like coming from a lounge at the Sands in Las Vegas. Loved it. Well done Mario and Jon.. Guitar was very cool Mario.

Yeah, I dig it.

JonD is a very tasty player! And so are you, very nice indeed, Mario!

Music like this can just go on forever, ended too soon for me. Great groove!

Really nice work Mario smile Incredibly smooth, and a fantastic groove to boot. I love the walking bass in this one! Really hard to avoid tapping your toe to this one.

Great job, and thanks for sharing!

Very cool, Mario & JonD. Fabulous the way the elements are put together.

Hi Mario. I never know what to expect when I click play on one of your excursions! This was no exception! A pleasant surprise, and a very tasteful jaunt with some very cool piano and guitar playing. Nice work both.

(I don't know why, but I was half expecting the 'next act' to be Guy Marks singing "Loving You Has Made Me Bananas"! Who remembers that?)

Love those sounds Mario. Great vibe.

Awesome tone on that guitar as well. What did you use?? In other words what kind of guitar is that and what effects?

Sounds great.
Posted By: beatmaster Re: Yesteryear - 05/30/18 06:19 PM
My Dad played piano and my uncle Jimmy played the guitar and that was just identical to the way they sounded, so it was a bit emotional to hear that,

The instruments just flowed and complimented each other so well I enjoyed it a lot.

The piano for me is always the superior instruments in a certain tempo range, I'm a sucker for this kind of sound.

Thanks

Thanx to all for listening and commenting. We greatly appreciate it.

Skyline, I had forgotten about "Loving You has made me Bananas"! Thanx for reminding me.

F.M.M.- no RTs were used here. It is all MIDI and my guitar.

Dave Cuny, the sax player got drunk, met a girl at the bar prior to the third set, and left with her. I fired him!

David, the guitar was a Casio Strat MIDI controller in the guitar only mode straight into my DAW using Amplitube 4's Fender jazz twin and adding the PSP spring reverb VST.

Beatmaster, I hope this brought back good memories.

Mario,

You know Di and I love these Old Standard Swing tunes. And this is just so sweet! If Di were well, I'd dance her from her to Nashville and back. Really sweet, my friend! Thanks for a super listen! All the best,

Alan
