Ok, here's a tune that could be classified as "Avant garde" or "free Jazz" from back in the 60's in an smoky small club. Not everyone's flavor of Jazz including myself, some pieces I never understood, but here it is:

Loved this Mike. Excellent intro. Sax was super. Very nice listen

Jazz it is!

Don't need to understand it to enjoy it.

Avant garde either works for us or it doesn't -- not a lot of middle ground and, man,
this one was cool. A cool dude indeed

Sittin' in a small club listening to this quartet would be fabulous!

Well done and love the crowd ambiance.

Hi Mike,

Enjoyed this track.

What is the instrument in the left hand speaker with a "tonk" sound?

Best Regards
Nigel

+1 on David's comment! Mike you always do a super job arranging these and your final product sounds excellent! Thanks, Torrey

Mike,
good deal. Not too crazy
Flute was a nice fit. Listens well.
Thank you for sharing.

Sorry guys for the late response. Thank you all for the comments, I was otherwise busy and been away from the forum for a little bit.
Nigel, the "tonk" sound is an almost muted vibes. Instead of a piano I chose a vibe patch for this.
Thanks again

i'm no jazz expert... but this evokes for me a jazz club in the 1960's down stairs from an old soho london uk street
about 2 am in the morning.

Hi Mike really like this great job I felt like i was at the live jazz club enjoyed my listen Eric

Hi Mike B.,

Well, allow us to enjoy it... maybe it is "free" jazz... but it works really well in this case. And you have made a good mix!

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Avant garde jazz from the cool era of jazz.

Mike you nailed it.

Jazz at its best!

PS - I'll take a martini, stirred not shaken.

Nice relaxed vibe and a really pleasant listen.

Hi Cubanpete,

Very nice arrangement on a composition rich in variations. The sax and flute playing are great. You managed to bring us into your musical universe. I appreciated.

Kindly regard

Cool, dude.

Ok, that last one was my attempt at humor. Every time I see a new post from Cubanpete I smile, knowing that when I push the play button I'm in for a musical treat. I remember back in the 70s hearing a free-jazz album called "The Ear Of The Behearer" and instantly knew my ears were not right for it. This, on the other hand, keeps me smiling. Thanks, Mike.
