JonD and my latest jam.

BiaB style = RockHardEven8-1-HiHat, Ride Style. I deleted all but the drum track and I modified it to add more emphasis to the song.

JonD is playing his keyboard into NI's B4II Kontakt software. I am playing the bass, guitars and wind controller Alto Sax.

We hope you like it for what it is.

Mario, you sure managed to get a raunchy sound out of that sax!

Pretty full on - everywhere

Rockin' all the way.

Hi Mario,

seems you had a lot of fun!
So had I.
I enjoyed this jam.
(A little out of breath because
of the strong compression).

Mario and Jon...

A lot of stuff going on in this! Jammin'...

The organ is cool. The sax is ultra cool... Nice bass line and guitar.

I did not care for the drum sound...and I found it rather chaotic and distracting.

Always impressed with the amount of work y'all put into your music...

Mario and Jon, This is a busy one. That wind controller continues to be the coolest instrument on this forum. Well played. An enjoyable listen. Tom

Re the wind controller...couldn't agree more with Tom. Way cool!
Man, that sax sound is so expressive.

Great jam, playing and love the title.

Nice!

Hi Mario. A little wild there. Could hear you both letting off steam.
You certainly do a great sax on the wind controller.
Difficult to get the phrasing right I imagine. And all very clear. Cheers.

Thanx all for listening and the very nice comments.

Guenter this is the first and probably last time that I will wonder into the smashed compression and loudness wars.

Floyd I was concerned about the drums. That style had a very repetitive drum track. I added a lot of the rolls and breaks.

Tom, I'm not to sure about the wind controller remark. I am still a beginner when it comes to that instrument.

Thanx again everyone.
