Ha, Eddie that would have been a Great Name for the song! I couldn't look at the Chord Window while playing Guitar, it messed me up. Still amazes me how RB can turn a 4/4 style into 7/4, must be that new math or PG Wizardry! The World may never know!

holy cow!... this is AWESOME!!

Three things I love to hear together are horns, blazing guitar and funky bass... and this song has 'em all!

I especially liked the way the horns and guitar mirror one another.. that's something you rarely hear on the forum. To my musical sensibilities, the real tracks shine brightest when they are used in conjunction with a performer who can interact with the generated content. I'm curious to know which came first: the horns or the guitar part? (in other words, which one of you echoed the other?)

Deep bow to the two maestros of this collaboration, Tommyc and Rharv

ya got my attention. ;-) (Very impressed.)

Knock-out!

Wow, this really delivers. The bass cuts through perfectly, the guitar and horns drive so extremely well.

Great, great and great.

Thanks Pat (and Bud and VT)

I honestly don't remember who initially came up with the line first, guitar or horn. I think the main line was part of my initial creation but could be wrong.
I *think* I added all the horn parts at the end though.

This was mostly an experiment in what RB could do with odd times. Tommy and I went back and forth a lot with this, sending SEQ files back and forth with chord changes, newly regenerated parts, etc. He was fun to work with because he didn't just try to fit in to what I had, he came up with new ideas (can we change this chord to such and such, etc).. I'm always open to ideas!

It was a whole lot of fun.
I've taken a break from collabs over the summer but getting ready to dive back in.
I forgot I updated this link so I apologize for not responding sooner

Hello, thanks for the updated link! This tune is fantastic! Love the pulse and movement. Has a Weather Report kinda feel. Thanks for the share.

Funny, I never thought of it as a Weather Report type tune, though I like them a lot and have most everything they did.
Anything related to guitar was Tommyc on this one.
/Well actually I shouldn't say that; the rhythm guitar was generated (RT1436 JazzFunkGroovinMute Ev 16 110)

Like I said, it was fun. A lot of fun
I'll share the raw RB seq file if interested. It's pretty cool to see how the generated tracks work.
