Cool Days

It has been unusually cool around here as normally it would be cold and snowing. So I thought I might try a cool jazz type song.

BiaB Style = Still New Age Piano
Tempo = 50 BPM

Bass and drums are an RD and RT from said style
Piano - converted to MIDI - Farfisa - preset V-Jazz Chorus 2
Utility track - Kontakt - Amadeus - preset - Full Choir

I am playing my Jay Turser jazz box guitar and via my keyboard controller the Swam tenor sax.

As always all comments are welcomed.

Hm, cool tune indeed. Contrary to my neck of the woods it's been cooler that normal for this time of the year which I particularly welcome. I get tired of the hot weather most of the year.
Thanks Mario

Cheers

Mike B..

Brrr! Mario, this is really "cool"! The harmonic movements and dissonance are hypnotic. Very nice guitar throughout, and the melodic figure at the end was a nice treat. Also loved the way the sax came in soft and low. A really fun piece to listen to, even though I'm more of a warm weather guy. Ha!

Mario,

Cool here as well! Love the song and the sax sounds great! Excellent guitar as always...

Bob

We have had the opposite weather up this way, quite a bit warmer than normal for this time of year. I'll take it!

Good stuff, Mario, cool melody on the guitar. Love it when the sax comes in!

A beautiful atmosphere.

Mario, I figure everyday around you is cool. Another cool-feeling musicscape. You paint so well with this BiaB palette and add so much more color and excitment with your talented contributions to the finish.

Thanx Mike. I like warm weather not hot weather. Winter does not bother me at all.

Thanx so much Ron. I really like those Swam saxes.

I'm a warm and cool guy. I do not like hot temperatures at all.


Thanx bob, I appreciate your kind words.

Thanx Dave. By cool I meant warmer that usual. We are having the same weather as you. We normally are around 38F (3.3C) with around 20" (50.8Cm) of snow. We are in the 50sF (10C) with no snow! I'm not complaining!

Thanx I appreciate your comments.


Thanx so much Marty.

PS - My "cool" days are way over. I was a Fonz while I was in my late teens and early 20s!

Cool.
Dazed.

Mario, I really like the dissonance with those notes ending the lines. The sax sounds amazing. You really know what you’re doing. Enjoyed, Tom

Listening to this I was visualising trees slightly swaying in the wind and snow - much more of a wintry scene than just cool weather. This is purely personal taste, but I find guitar's flat notes depressing and would have preferred something brighter. I just read Tom's comment, and he likes the "dissonance" of those notes, so it shows it's a matter of taste.

Hi Mario,

Your so cool song is exciting and also adventurous in a way.
At first I thought there was something wrong with the piano ( I thought it was some kind of synth), but then I realized this was part of the cool plan!
These dissonance waves were there because you wanted them to sound like that.
So it was me who had to get used to this style.
I couldn't, I fear.
I really enjoy your creativity, but on (very rare) occasions I feel lost.
But please continue experimenting!

I wish you a happy Christmas and good new year,
Hans

Thanx Floyd.


Thanx so much Tommy.

Thanx for taking the time to listen and commenting. Those chords were G13b9 and D7b9, both have an Ab and that was the note I emphasized. I knew some may not like this and that is OK. Thankfully we all are different!

Thanks for your explanation, Mario.

I fear I don't use those chords (don't even know them).
And yes, as long as we can deal with it, differences are ok!

Bye,
Hans

Sounds a bit dull and un-hifi, a little more treble for the backing tracks wouldn't hurt.
But your saxophone playing sounds fine and more than makes up for it.

Thanx for listening and for the suggestions. That is how I learn.

A cool take on a cool song notion.

Mesmerizing in the good way with great performances by you.
The arrangement was very engaging and worked us listening on a lovely but chilly morning.
Good chill music, I reckon.

Well done!

J&B

Thanx Janice and Bud. We are finally below freezing today and with a little snow so we went from cool to cold!

Excellent tune Mario. Pretty melody and backtrack . Well done..

Thanx Scott.

HI mario,

You are the premiere soundscape artist on the forum. Engagingly melodic with soft, cool tones. I always enjoy your music - you are the guru of the genre@!

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Alan

Hi Mario
Not only sounds cool but is also played cool ;-)
The sax fits perfectly
Great Mario
Wish you a Merry Christmas
Stay healthy
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Thanx so much Alan for this wonderful review.

I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.

Thanx so much Andi.
You have a very Merry Christmas also.

The jazz box does a good job of this.
The repetition of the attack works well but some variation would be cool.
Nice work with the wind thing.
Chill.
