This forum was so helpfull last time I had a question about a song type, I thought I would push my luck a bit and ask about this song

When we have all our little band together we can do this just fine, although not anywhere near as good a solo as Herbie

http://youtu.be/jiCV4Xna684

However I want to make a backing track

Its obviously the base and drums that really sets the style apart and I cant seem to get a style that gives me that

Its now the backing for a car advert here in the UK so its even more annoying that I cant get it right

My sheet music calls it "Soul Jazz"

Has anyone done this as a backing track

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Phil,

I do this tune from time to time, mostly as a break alert on my longer gigs. I would be happy to share what I have put together with you if you like, just PM me with an email address.

Heads up . . . My version has real-tracks and some bars without solo which I fill in with live guitar.

Later,

Yeah, "Soul Jazz". There was a lot of that going on in the 60's. Sort of a fusion of Motown, James Brown and jazz lines and solos. Compared To What is another one, so is the In Crowd, Chameleon and others. These rhythms are not in Biab styles because each one is basically only good for one song and can't be used for anything else.

My suggestion is to use the Stylemaker and create your own style for this. Shouldn't be too hard but it has to be a midi style, I don't think there's any Real Drums with that beat. As far as just playing Comin Home, I've done it for at least 30 years in all kinds of styles. It's become one of the ultimate jam tunes, different players will just go off and do all kinds things with it. I've done is as pure rock, latin jazz, reggae, funk, whatever. I think I even seque'd from Take 5 to it and kept it in 5.
