Swing Night

Just a quick and dirty short jam that I did.

I was messing around with my guitar and came up with this bass line. I fired up my DAW, got it down, and then added the drums via Biab.

BiaB styel = Medium Jazz Swing Piano

I deleted all but the drums.

I am playing my wind controller (flute), guitar, bass, and keyboard.

I hope you like it for what it is.

Mario,

Love this! The bass line, flute and keyboard are really outstanding - so crisp and tight. Very cool...

Mario, this is great! you should submit this to one or more of those libraries that license snippets to film makers... it would be perfect for all sorts of applications!

Mario, The spareness is what makes this so cool. Great playing. What a unique bass line. Like Pat said it would be a nice fit in one of the libraries. I enjoyed it. Tom

Nice little jam Mario!! It has a playful, mysterious feel. I could imagine it being a score to a Peter Sellers movie (Pink Pantheresque). Enjoyed it! Take care. Greg

Yup, film library ready. Sheeesh man, if I could sit down and do all of that I'd be insufferable smile

Loving it all...the interplay of the instruments and the cool bass line.

Really, really nice!
