After Hours in the Big City
An alto saxophonist, guitarist, and keyboard player walk into a bar at closing time. The bartender locks the door, pulls the shades, turns off all outside lights, brings up a couple of cases of beer and the guys jam with members of the house band. This is a jam they put down just prior to getting totally drunk. BiaB style = City Night SW16 Smooth Jazz Tempo = 75 I deleted the guitar track Bass = Ample Bass - YingYang Drums = SSD5 DeLuxe 2 - Deluxe Rock 5 Piano = Presonus-XT Presence - Rhodes Ballad - I slightly modified this track Strings = Kontakt - Cupid's Arrow I am playing the guitar - Jay Turser Jazz Box And via my wind controller - Swan Alto Sax and Kontakt Trumpet Master

Can I have the address of that bar.
Funny thing I'm in the middle of writing a drinking song as well.
Nicely done Mario. Plenty of light and shade.
Great composition. Rob4580

Will you slow down, man ... some of us need to catch up with you!!! :-)
SUPERB. So laid back ... just relaxed and enjoyed. All I need now is a drink by my side and I'm ready to listen to it again ... :-)
It's a privilege to hear your stuff, but do give the rest of us a fighting chance every now and then, eh? ;-) Actually, don't, of course ... I want to continue to hear you at your best.

Thanx for this superb review. I had a little time as all of us have been under quarantine for the last 2 weeks. Quarantine is over but it is so easy to compose songs with BiaB so who knows when the next one will come along.

This is an excellent track from a bar that I would very much like to know the location of.  Well produced and inspiring to listen too. You never disappoint, Mario! Will

I deleted the guitar track That made me laugh!  I get the feeling you post these to show that MIDI can still be competitive with RealTracks.  And... you're right. Smooth and easy listening. Everything sounds good to me!

Smooth and easy listening underneath, and a little tipsy. But those two-horn duet lines are pretty dang boozy. Smile-inducing stuff and had me "there".

Well done, Mario.
Mix is excellent. That ample bass sounds great. Nice job on the wind controller.
A good listen.

Everything sounds good to me! Thanx David. I have been working with MIDI since the early 1980's. I have more fun working in MIDI and playing my instruments then cutting and pasting audio. I'm not knocking anyone who does that its just not my thing. I am glad that people think MIDI can be competitive to RTs. They both have there places.

fj Thanx so much Floyd. A couple of years ago I won all of Ample's basses. They all sound great. I'm glad that I won them as I surely couldn't afford all of them!

Oh, man, I want a job with that house band. Great sounds. So well done, Mario. Wonderful feel and timing. Ok, let's hear the song they played AFTER they got drunk. Ya know, Motown turned out some good music with after hours jazzmen, too.

ha! Mario, I enjoyed your text setup to the song! Very clever way to sage the audience's expectations. David Cuny recently commented on one of Floyd's songs about how expectations affect how we hear a song. I agree. You can use expectations to guide the audience or to throw them a curve ball... but either way they have an impact on the listening experience.
LOVE the horns in this! Makes me want to write a song specifically so I can put horns in it.
I'm guessing the backing is BIAB and then you played all the solos? Great job! The intro story about the musicians in a bar jamming makes it easy to visualize each of the players you are acting out in this story.
Very clever. Well done my friend! I am impressed by your many and varied talents
