Hi, friends !

I did my first jazzy tune today and called it "Jazzye"
No sense in that, but let us not be bothered by that ? (lol)!!
I am not sure I could have come up with an intro like the
one Biab automated to me here ! and......

Angel Dear refers to my sweet dear late wife Beni !

My Angel Dear (by Dani)

My angel dear, how are you now?
Please, fly down and tell me how
I wanna know how you are doin´there
in that heavenly sphere,
where you dwell my dear!

My angel dear you know I love you so
and in my dreams you feel so real, you know
I wanna hold you in my arms again
once again!

I can recall the time we had was great
reminiscing here, getting late
why don´t we just fly away just thru that gate
to the stars up above
my sweet, sweet love
let´s fly around and have some fun
it´s only a dream, only a dream !

My angel dear, how are you now?
Please, fly down and tell me how
I wanna know how you are doin´there
in that heavenly sphere,
where you dwell my dear!

Dani,

What can I say, that is beautiful. True love is a wonderful thing.

Take care dear friend and all the best for the New Year

Dani,

This is nicely done. The instrumentation is nice and the vocal is strong.

The vocal cold be mixed down a bit so it sits with the band a little more. It feels like the singer (you, of course) is standing about 20 feet in front of the band - instead of just in front of it.

You are a song-writing machine! So glad those Real musicians found their way to your door...

Hi Dani
I always enjoy your phrasing. It's interesting to try to anticipate it, And that's a good thing. Floyd's comments on the mix are quite realistic, and the only other thing I thought was the ending might have been a small bit abrupt, but overall, I liked it. Nice job, as usual.
Kind regards
Trevor

Hi, Floyd !:))

Thank you for your most kind
and constructive comment !:))
I did remix it so the singer
stands closer to the band (lol) !:))
Hope it became better ?

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Trevor !:))

You are most kind to me
and you know I appreciate
your kind comments very much !:))
You are right that the tune ends
a little too abruptly. I might
add a solo and a verse still, but
am not sure yet !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Guenter !

I am glad you liked this
first jazztune I´ve ever written !
I am myself more for Bacharach
and The Beach Boys, but Dean
and Barbara Dennerlein (the Hammond organist)
got me interested in jazz too !:)) (lol) !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani...

We really, really liked this one! For a first effort in Jazz, you did a fabulous job! The backing tracks were just right and the music was perfect! Great job!

Dani, I like the chord changes and this style fits your voice. I like listening to you choices. It always surprises me in a good way. Take care, Tom

Wow. What a moving tribute and what a wonderful way to live with the memories. People we love change us in positive ways and when they leave us the changes stay and remind us of the good. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Al & Di !:))


Thank you so much for your kind comments !:))
I am not really a jazz singer though Aleck
has tried to teach me ! Should be sung
without any vibrato and though I´m trying,
it seems almost impossible ! (lol) !
Jazz must be the most difficult genré there is ?
no stright chords and a lot of them too.
As I do not know them but have to listen them out
it is a tedious process !:))

Cheers
Dani
Posted By: dani48 Re: Jazzye - 01/07/14 08:08 AM
Hi, Tommy !:))

I am humbled by your kind words !
Jazz is not really my genré as
the more chords, the better !:))
Having to listen them out makes
it a somewhat slow but intriguing
process ?

Cheers
Dani

Dani, Jazz is much easier than you think. The easiest way to master Jazz is to just take the rule book... and throw it away (ha ha) laugh

Hi, Janice & Bud !

Thank you for your most kind
words !:)) I think you are
so right, my dear left me
only positive memories of
her !:))

Cheers

After reading Janice's and Bud's words, I could not let them pass without quoting them. They resonate so much with me.

Take care,
Noel

P.S. Congratulations on your award, too! It's very well earned!
Posted By: floyd jane Re: Jazzye - 01/07/14 01:14 PM
Dani - the new mix sounds great! The guys in the band are happy...
Posted By: dani48 Re: Jazzye - 01/07/14 04:04 PM
Hi, Noel ! :))

You are too kind my good friend, but
I am flattered by your warm words !:))
....and thank you for your congratulations too,
I am not sure I deserved the prize
but as it is I am now able to donate the prize
to another good friend from Australia who started it all
for me !:)) Btw.. where did you learn finnish, or did
you use google translator ? (lol) ! I´ve used it
many times for my spanish lessons ,but longer
phrases seldom works well with the translator,
it is good for 2-3 words !:))


Cheers
Dani



Posted By: dani48 Re: Jazzye - 01/07/14 04:09 PM

Hi, Floyd !

Thanks for the hint !:))
I sure hope the band is
satisfied even if they
doesn´t get any pay for
it ! (Lol) !!:))

Dani guess what? Jazz is now your genre!

This song put me into a jazz lounge, sipping beer and listening to a polished jazz combo.

I would do more like this if I were you.
Posted By: Scott C Re: Jazzye - 01/07/14 08:46 PM
Cool tune Dani. Neat rhythm to the song. Well sung. A little different from your other stuff..
Posted By: dani48 Re: Jazzye - 01/07/14 09:16 PM
Hi, SD !:))

I am very glad you liked
this little experiment !:))
Maybe I should do some more ?

Cheers
Dani
Posted By: dani48 Re: Jazzye - 01/07/14 09:23 PM
Hi, Mario !:))

You are all too kind Mario !:)) (lol) !!
Do you really think I should
do some more jazz ?? :))
You know, Mario, it may just
be so, but it will take time
as I am composing one-two chords
a time and testing them out as
I go along ! :)) Somehow, I´d like
to have you back in that lounge
with a glass of Budweiser in your
hand, but as I said , it may take
some time, I do not really know ?:))


Cheers
Dani

Hi, Scott !:))

Thanks for your most kind comments !:))
It sure is completely different to
my usual style, but it was intriguing
enough for me and I wanted to do the test !:))
It is Aleck, who got me into jazz !:))
Thank you Aleck !:))


Cheers
Dani

Another fine offering here, and a great job for your first jazz effort! Thanks for sharing.

Steve
Posted By: dani48 Re: Jazzye - 01/09/14 12:12 AM
Thank you Steve !

Am very glad that you found this
little experiment nice ! I think I
will try and do another in collab
with Dean if he wants to !:))


Cheers

Your vocal is right on for this song, it fits the music perfectly. I thought the ending was a little quick, but I love the song.
Posted By: dani48 Re: Jazzye - 01/09/14 09:51 PM
Hi, Olemon !:))

Thank you so much for your kind comments !
Yes, the tune is probably slightly too
short, and it could be lengthened if
I ever find the spirit to do it ?


Cheers
Dani
