Midnight Romp

This is a remix of a song I first recorded back in 2010 with Andy Wigzell on Sax and Vox. A few people here may remember it, I first attempted a remix back in 2019 wink

Remix has Marty on bass, also new drums. I just recently managed to connect with Andy again, maybe he will join us in the future on a song or two.

RealTracks in song: ~~1102:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzSwingGrooveComp Sw 190

Dave Bell: guitar
Marty Straub: bass
Andy Wigzell: sax and vox
Drums: EZDrummer2.

Mixed with Reaper, mastered with Ozone9.

All comments welcome!

Mornin' Dave....

I like this one a lot.
Great playing by all.

Bass is clear cut through very well, guitar is clean with great tone and (of course) who doesn't love the vibe a good sax line adds to a composition.
I've never used EZDrummer but the drum track sounds clean and crisp to my ears.

Well done gents....one that I would certainly listen to again.

Have a great day everyone.

Hi Dave,

Great song - my kinda music!

I was particularly taken with your guitar playing.

Also loved the guitar and sax playing main riff together - excellent.

Mix - spot on except a little bit messy for a few bars in he middle. But I'm sure you can fix it in the mix or simply cut it out.

Look forward to hearing more like this.

Best Regards
Nigel

'BlueAttitude' & company...

Oh, yeah, gentlemen, you talkin' the talk and walkin' the walk on this number laugh !!! BIAB + talented User's Forum musicians = fun!

I actually got up off my bee-hind and busted some moves with an imaginary partner in front of a mirror. Thanks for the workout smile.

I couldn't make out exactly what the male voices were shouting. Gimme a line on it, won't you?

Great playing by everyone. Love the guitar sax interplay - and the intro was superb.

Love those guitar lines (you got the tab!)....

Dave, that some fancy guitar chops man! You are a very versatile guitarist.

Super sax and of course Marty always lays down the perfect bass lines. I hope to hear more from this trio.

This is outstanding.

What the heck was that???????????? AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know that tune (in 2010 I was far too young, haha), so I'm really glad you presented that re-mix here today.

Toe-tapping stuff and so well-played by all of you: Dave, great job on the guitar. Marty, spot on, Mr Bassman. Great sax stuff, Andy.

And Mr EZD2 (also part of my band every now and then) once again really drove the nails home.

Congrats on this one, guys!

Yeah, there is something special about having a sax in the mix, no question!

Thanks for the listen and comments smile

Hi Nigel,

I just recently connected back with Andy again, so it's possible we might do more. Thanks for the listen!

Oh, man, I am so glad you pulled this one out, brushed it off, changed the drums, and then invited me along for the fun. Dave, your chops are outstanding in so many genres. Someone suggested BiaB makes some RTs of you available for all of us. I second that. I'm also quite excited you not only dusted off this old track of your old friend, but then tracked him down and have him ready to do more. Andy is such a treat to listen to and a blast to play with. More more more.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Well now, if that ain't two-and-a-half minutes of good times. Had to listen more than once, but only because it was fun. Andy has a great light touch. You really brought the brightness and drive. Marty was all over the bottom end, melodic and interesting. All mixed up in a great sounding number on the monitors and phones. Much enjoyed.

Dave this song is truly great! There isn't a single thing that doesn't have me believing this is a band that has played together a lot. The vocal intro sold it from beat first word. I can picture the background vocals being done...seriously everything was so enjoyable!

I guess you're doing what all the kids are doing. Taking something from the past and making it new again. The difference is it's your own music each time! wink

REALLY great song my friend!

FUN, I could see a video along the lines of Don't Stop The Rock with the band leaning forward to shout the line.

Loved this tune. Dave your guitar playing on this reminded me of Brian Seltzer. Very cool tune. Marty some very tasty bass lines. Sax was awesome. Loved the mix too. Having the sax left and the guitar right gave the song a live feel. Well done

Hi BlueAttitude,

It is a composition well done. I like the sax and the guitar solo which really play in harmony. The arrangement is excellent. I appreciated.
