Thanks for the opportunity to play on this, Andy. It's a cool tune reminiscent of the period. Good artwork, too.
(After all your hard work, I hope it gets some more plays!)
Sounds familiar ! Wait... Is this Wes? and ... Jimmy ?
Sadly, not Wes, although I am using my thumb.👍
I tried to count once: I am pretty sure he had 15 thumbs on his right hand, sometimes even 16 !
And thank you Paul for far more than your hot guitar contribution. My first online collaboration. Didn’t only discover more about your diverse talents but learned quite a bit about myself too.
Well, Jimmy Smith’s mojo I hope via a few of his Hammond licks stolen with pride. And the idea for the studio orchestra arrangement from his ‘C Jam Blues’.
Definitely a tribute to the ‘Incredible‘ JS who when he ran out of fingers and feet could use his nose!
Wes had 16 thumbs and Richie Havens had one big one! Haha
Great track, I hear some Scofield in the guitar at times too. And the production? Chefs kiss 🤌
With all this talk of thumbs it has to be a 👍 from me.
Great playing by the two of you. Sad to see so few listens for something of this quality !
Thanks for the listen and (too) kind compliments @Squishy. Haven't listened to Scofield in a long time, probably over 30 years ago since I saw him play in London. Good times!
Andy sent me the lead sheet for Leo way back in April asking if I was interested in a collaboration. After 4 months of messaging, recording and sending files back and forth over 5,000 miles away, it was ready. Feeling sad too
. Thanks for listening Tony, as always.
Thank you too @squishy. Paul masterminded the production. Some really creative use of reverb.
Pleased you liked it Tony (@GeoTony). Thanks for your comment. Actually the form and the playing came together pretty quickly. Then the drums became the focus and were completely reworked by Paul to use Tyrell on Logic Pro and ended up being more musical than the sample loops. Then the orchestra went under the microscope trying many permutations of sample libraries and rescoring to get a punchy jazz rather than big room ambience. Then I had a bit of a hearing crisis when I realised I couldn’t tell two mixes apart and we got drawn into frequency distribution visualisation tools. And then after some final and definitely final mixes we were ready to go! So yes, disappointed with the initial engagement but very happy with the collaboration and the end result. It may have its day yet.
