Cool Days It has been unusually cool around here as normally it would be cold and snowing. So I thought I might try a cool jazz type song. BiaB Style = Still New Age Piano Tempo = 50 BPM Bass and drums are an RD and RT from said style Piano - converted to MIDI - Farfisa - preset V-Jazz Chorus 2 Utility track - Kontakt - Amadeus - preset - Full Choir I am playing my Jay Turser jazz box guitar and via my keyboard controller the Swam tenor sax. As always all comments are welcomed.

Hm, cool tune indeed. Contrary to my neck of the woods it's been cooler that normal for this time of the year which I particularly welcome. I get tired of the hot weather most of the year.
Thanks Mario
Cheers

Brrr! Mario, this is really "cool"! The harmonic movements and dissonance are hypnotic. Very nice guitar throughout, and the melodic figure at the end was a nice treat. Also loved the way the sax came in soft and low. A really fun piece to listen to, even though I'm more of a warm weather guy. Ha!

We have had the opposite weather up this way, quite a bit warmer than normal for this time of year. I'll take it!
Good stuff, Mario, cool melody on the guitar. Love it when the sax comes in!

Mario, I figure everyday around you is cool. Another cool-feeling musicscape. You paint so well with this BiaB palette and add so much more color and excitment with your talented contributions to the finish.

Good stuff, Mario, cool melody on the guitar. Love it when the sax comes in! Thanx Dave. By cool I meant warmer that usual. We are having the same weather as you. We normally are around 38F (3.3C) with around 20" (50.8Cm) of snow. We are in the 50sF (10C) with no snow! I'm not complaining!

You paint so well with this BiaB palette and add so much more color and excitment with your talented contributions to the finish. Thanx so much Marty. PS - My "cool" days are way over. I was a Fonz while I was in my late teens and early 20s!

Mario, I really like the dissonance with those notes ending the lines. The sax sounds amazing. You really know what you’re doing. Enjoyed, Tom

Listening to this I was visualising trees slightly swaying in the wind and snow - much more of a wintry scene than just cool weather. This is purely personal taste, but I find guitar's flat notes depressing and would have preferred something brighter. I just read Tom's comment, and he likes the "dissonance" of those notes, so it shows it's a matter of taste.

#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Mario,
Your so cool song is exciting and also adventurous in a way.
At first I thought there was something wrong with the piano ( I thought it was some kind of synth), but then I realized this was part of the cool plan!
These dissonance waves were there because you wanted them to sound like that.
So it was me who had to get used to this style.
I couldn't, I fear.
I really enjoy your creativity, but on (very rare) occasions I feel lost.
But please continue experimenting!
I wish you a happy Christmas and good new year,
Hans

Those chords were G13b9 and D7b9, both have an Ab and that was the note I emphasized. I knew some may not like this and that is OK. Thankfully we all are different!

Thanks for your explanation, Mario.
I fear I don't use those chords (don't even know them).
And yes, as long as we can deal with it, differences are ok!
Bye,
Hans

Sounds a bit dull and un-hifi, a little more treble for the backing tracks wouldn't hurt.
But your saxophone playing sounds fine and more than makes up for it.
