| So What - Rendition |   |
Miles Davis said something like" it's not about the amount of notes you play and how quick you can play them, but how you play them"....I've always tried to maintain that philosophy, if you listen to many of your favorite licks ,melodies, riffs etc, they are generally played at either a medium to slow pace. So here is a Classic, a simple melody line, I hope I've done this true Classic justice??
This is the fifth song for my new album, I'm going to include a couple of my own. Tunecore.com the publisher I use, suggest in their marketing to produce an album of songs that people like (covers) and to include some of your own materiel, in that way there is more chance that people will want to listen to your album. After all the only people that know me are you lovely people, my friends and family.

it needs a Hammond!
and yes... true Classic! The guitar sounds good but a bit sharp, could be more dark. But hey.... my ears are old and I am just wondering to hear such high frequencies at all.

Denis what can I say man?
I love your renditions; they leave me speechless every single time.
Every. single. time.
My only complaint with this one is in the beginning the cymbal roll comes in just a tad harsh.
Other than that, a very lovely and wonderful piece.
You've got me sold.

It all sounds so bright and clear... I totally love it!
The execution in all the instruments is perfect. The guitar tone is just sweet.
I'd only suggest to make the guitar solo more dynamic I just realized that you end stuck in the same notes. Maybe some scales and licks and stuff.
I know that playing jazz is really tricky because of the modulation but I learned that if you aren't (mentally) fast enough to instantly change the key when soloing, you can practice it until you get it. That's the way I was taught at college.

PS: Can I request a rendition of "Green Dolphin Street"? Since I played it at college I've always loved the melody. Probably the best by Mile Davis. I'd really love to listen to you playing it.

Yeah, more dynamics in the solo, I think if I just raised the solo by about 3db's that should do the trick. Not sure if TK's idea of a Hammond would work, I just wanted it to be Guitar. I'm not totally happy with the end, it's a bit messy...lol, I may just fade it out before that part.
And I agree with Meowmachine one of the cymbals crescendos at the start is a bit harsh, an easy fix.
Not familiar with "Green Dolphin Street", I'll check it out.
I'm now working on The Sidewinder - Lee Morgan, and St Thomas - Sonny Rollins, I love the melody lines.
Yeah practicing scales is the best for JAZZ, I try to do that everyday for 5 Min's.

I don't like the flat tone Jazz Guitar players used back in the 60's, I love the tone I'm getting from my Archtop. Don't want to put a Hammond in this track for the Album, I'm going to raise the Solo's in the mix instead, but feel free to collab with me, I could edit the solo where you could add the TK touch, that would be GREAT

Have you ever considered doing covers of songs that are popular right now? Maybe not for your album, but just for fun/ us to hear. I think that would be really interesting to hear!
Nice walking bass. Very well adapted for guitar, gives the song new feeling when played on guitar rather than piano and trumpet. As usual production is spot on, you really know how to implement your own sound to all your recordings... shows that you really know your equipment well.
Like you and others have said, the arrangement of the ending to the song could be improved. I really enjoy this song and especially enjoyed you doing it here on bandAMP. I recorded Blue in Green a couple of months ago with my band but never mastered it to the computer, just got it on a few tapes... hearing this makes me want to upload my one, we will see how i go.
Anyway, keep up the jazzy sounds... always did and always will enjoy listening to your tunes.

...lolSeriously though, It's probably my age, I don't listen to much modern stuff. Don't hear many good modern songs, they come, they go never to be heard again. What modern songs do you like?

I sort of disagree. But, I feel like anything by artists like John Mayer, Ingrid Michaelson, or Michael Buble would sound interesting.
I really like this, the notes are very expressive. You can really get into the music with this song, and the composition is enjoyable and keeps me interested throughout. Great job on this.

Yeah Mr Buble is quality, I know he's produced some great albums, would you class him as Mordern??

Well, after doing some research, I see he has been 'around' longer than I initially thought, debuting in 2001. Well this is going off the topic of your song
The classics (Jazz & R&B) always live on...like the rendition.......And as a bass player have a thing for bass technique.
