As you know JonD and myself have been composing and playing songs together for sometime now. Well JonD recently moved 4 doors down from my house. So to celebrate we decided to jam a little. This is the result of one of those jams.

We hope you like it for what it is.

BiaB style = Fusion swing w/Tenor Sax
Deleted all but the real drums
JonD is playing the keyboard and I am playing the guitar and bass parts.

Hey, great smooth feel you've got going there guys.

This is really smooth. There's even a little bit of Earl Klugh in there somewhere.

There's certainly some nice chord inversions on the keyboard too.

Nice!

Mario, you and JonD are great collaborators as well as musicians. That you are now neighbors can only mean good things for us here on the forum. The song is very soothing and mellow. I loved the bass line.

Hi, I wish I had a neighbor like you smile

My neighbor doesn't like music (and not only my music)

You played the bass and guitar parts, bravo ! I'm a guitarist too, but in folk picking style, not exactly in rock and pop. The keyboard part reminds me of a Biab real track (smooth piano).

Cool jam but the drums are stepping on bits - maybe pull them back a little or pump the organ up.


Cheers

haha! Now THAT's funny! ;-D

Mario, this was really an enjoyable song... and speaking as somebody who has to play solo because he can't find any compatible music buddies, I'm really envious that your music buddy is now just a few doors away!

best of luck to both of you!
