It was Saturday night and I’m alone in the studio so it’s time for another quick and dirty jam. This one is a jazz blues jam called Saturday Night After Hours Jam .

This started in BiaB using the mudyslow style then morphed into this. The only BiaB track left is the drum track and that has been slightly modified.

I hope you like it for what it is.

Mario, nice sound and jam. I really like the space you put between the instruments in the mix - sounds very smooth and has a great live feel. I really enjoyed this.

Thanx a mint occ!

I actually played the bass on this one. It’s an inexpensive Squire P-Bass that I ran through a Behringer V-Amp Pro using a preset I made called P-Bass, i.e. not very original in my naming scheme am I. Thanx for the compliment!

Very nice! So, are you playing all the instruments on this except the drums? All the parts sounded great to these ears, nice mix too.

Thanx Dave for the very kind words.

Yes, I’m playing all of the instruments except the drums. As I mentioned to occ I played the bass. The guitar is my Kramer NightRider through a V-Amp Pro amp modeler. The B3 sound is from NI’s B4II that was played via my midi guitar controller and the sax is from my wind controller.

Thanx for listening.

Cool Mario. You're a wonderful player. To me, this could also make a good soundtrack for a movie or tv.

Amazing that you can play so many instruments so well. The virtual sax is coming along nicely.
Very pro with the arrangement and mixing. Nice ending on the drums. Only wish I didn't have to download
this and dig it out to play it?

Hi Mario,

I'm a bit late to the party but I'm really glad I stopped by for a listen. This is FANTASTIC! Incredibly skillful playing on all those instruments and a really tight mix. Totally radio ready in my opinion. I'm just about hit replay again

Regards,
Noel

Thanx all for listening and the very kind words.

Pete – You shouldn’t have to DL to listen to it. When I log on to Kara-Moon and click on a MP3 I see a window with both a save and open option. I click on open and it plays via MS Media Player. If you are using a Mac then you may see something different, don’t know.
