The order of the tracks has no deeper meaning. The list grows as I find the best tracks of the entire SoundCloud space and is purely subjective.

'Does The Flame Ever Go Out' was a question I asked myself recently whilst sitting in my music studio. This track was the answer to my question.

An Jazz track inspired by one of the very 
beautiful photos brought back by Julie during a recent 
trip to Thailand.
Many thanks to Julie.

Un titre Jazz inspiré d'une des très
belles photos prises par Julie lors d'un récent
voyage en Thaïlande.
Un grand merci à Julie.

---- Pas à pas  -----

J'irais là où tu voudras,
j'ferais fi de tous les aléas,
et même parfois si je faiblis,
si je suis même anéanti,
je marcherais toute la nuit,
à tes côtés et sans un bruit,
malgré le noir et les embûches,
et même parfois si je trébuche,
j'irais là où tu iras,
te suivrais pas à pas,

Pas à pas

soloing fun with another banging track by Paul aka Paploviante: https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/running-paploviante-open-collaboration-offer .... I added real tenor sax, synth - blown with Akai EWI USB and "guitar" played with keyboard (ok, that's crazy) ... so it's quite repetetive, but with different instrument colors ... Enjoy ! ... photo: Afiq Fatah, unsplash

Feverish jazz-funk from Sun Creatures on new single 

‘Soi Cowboy’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams
 
Sun Creatures is a new jazz-outfit lead by the two Danish musician/producers Arto Eriksen and Fridolin Nordsø, sprung from a shared love for 70s funk, West African rhythms, and Brazilian drum ensembles.
 
With their new single, ‘Soi Cowboy’, the duo crank up the fury. The sound is keyed up and light on its feet, racing through frenzied grooves with impressive dexterity. Dizzying percussion-dribbles, rogue basslines and distorted horn-riffs worked up into frantic screeches. Latin influences melt into the raw street-funk ooze and kept in check by an unmistakable technical skill.

Sun Creatures - Soi Cowboy - s0719

♥️ Thank You very much for over 1800 plays! ♥️

This track is a tribute to genre which flourish in 90's, a love letter to bands like US3, Jazzmatazz, Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Groove Collective and of course Miles Davies and his marvellous "Doo-Bop".

I started working on this piece around July 2022. I've stuck on my inability to do any advanced jazz solos/improvisation and embellishments so this track ended up in my "musical drawer".
Luckily, after finishing my previous piece "Vital Signs", where I used sax VST, I shyly approached Jörg aka @joerxworx with a request to evaluate my saxophone scribbles and a proposal to finish my unrealized piece.
Jörg turned out to be a nice, understanding guy who willingly joined this project. At this point, I would like to thank him very much for this wonderful contribution to this piece, a lot of advice he gave me and a lot of patience for my slow work.

If You like this piece You should definitely check Jörg's page, he created lot of amazing tracks!

Thanks for reading this, listening to our track, and I hope You will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working on it!

The Two of Us // R.U.R. (feat. joerxworx)

main thing about this is the fun to blow one of the cool Respiro* presets ... *(a physical modelling synth) with my Akai EWI breathcontroller. This preset delivers a kind of hybrid breath instrument, with a range from sounding like a bari sax in the deepest up to a harmonica in the higher register. All instruments by me, a few "guitar" loops are self played on keyboard, breath solo is in go ! photo: Philip Myrtorp, unsplash

Bossa Kind Of Fun In C Minor

Drums, Danmoi (vietnamese lip lute) and 3 different breath controller instruments & improvisations. All instruments by me. photo: Daniel Seßler, unsplash

Jazz in My Salon - Parallelle

A highlight from Reginald Chapman 'Accretion' (FSX-057) – out now everywhere: fsx.lnk.to/accretion

'Accretion’ is a double-album exploration in carving out a refreshing new territory in modern Jazz – one that strikes a balance between hard funk grooves and complex music theory, complicated arrangements and heavily headnoddable beats – all tied together with universally engaging melodies and textured with a “refined grit” palette to forge a sound that is uniquely Chapman’s own.

The album serves as an exciting manifesto for a step forward into the future of traditional brass music, and it’s one that we’re honored to help bring to the world.

Written, Produced & Arranged by Reginald Chapman

Personnel:
Reginald Chapman - bass trombone, bass trumpet, rotary flugelhorn
Marcus "Tennishu" Tenney - saxophone, trumpet
Reggie Pace - trombone
Andrew Randazzo - bass
Corey Fonville - drums
DJ Harrison - keys

Mixed & Recorded by DJ Harrison @ Jellowstone – Richmond, VA

Mastered by Kelly Hibbert @ Almachrome

... a little attempt in trance/techno. no samples used. Danmoi & flute played by me; I programmed the backing with a most simple free vst*, that includes the bass & beat with a bunch of envelopes, to inject live into it + an additional drum vst for fills. image by Michael Kucharski, unsplash with some post editing.

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."
