always top performance and compositions Mark :))))))

can't stop listening ur sc :-) awesome stuff here!

I have to say, I'm really impressed by the sound you've got going here - it's pretty much a summary of everything I like about smooth jazz as a genre. The blend of instruments is great, you don't let the bass steal the entire show (as many people tend to do sometimes), and the entire thing just has this vibrant energy to it... can't really explain it better than that. Anyway. I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of your compositions - you've earned yourself a follower!

nice wipes

After Midnight from Soul Lounge

Night train part

Colon

On a distant planet in a remote section of the Milky Way, two creatures are locked in a battle for supremacy. The sea creature's huge, hulking size gives it an advantage over the air creature with sharper talons and a ferocious bite. The battle rages for hours, with circling, swiping, and near-miss attempts as the sea creature continually loses blood from swipe after swipe.

Sensing victory, the sky creature circles one last time, diving further to sink its talons. The sea creature flips up out of the water and lands a strike on its wing, tearing it in half and sending it spiraling into the ocean where it sinks into the depths.

Fare Thee Well

Autumn is my favorite season. The air is cooler, the sky is bluer, the clouds are fewer, and the colors are anything but demure. It's a time when Mother Earth uncorks and pours out her secrets in a grand display for all who cherish beauty. It's a time to give thanks for her ripened fruits that sustain us while she cleanses her skin with snow and replenishes her soul with humility. Just before the last leaf falls and the trees prepare to sleep, I say a quiet prayer of faith and bid her fare thee well. 

-- R C Norman

Fare Thee Well

This is one of the many fun covers we recorded for our second lockdown album "Allá voy de nuevo" (Here I go again). We tried to make an old school The Specials/Madness-esque ska arrangement, but ended up with something closer to Reel Big Fish (not that we are complaining, they rock!).

That album is available on bandcamp:

Acid Jazz Mix (Jazzual Suspects, Gramatik, Everydayearthkid, Nujazz, Beat Demons)

Hi, I'm a keys player and I like making up grooves to existing jazz and latin standards. Over the last few years I've been mainly working on original numbers.

It's just me in the music you hear, I play all the parts off a keyboard recording in midi and layer up into the finished version.

I started playing the piano as a kid , then took up the trombone and played for fun in various local amateur bands and orchestras. Then at 18 went to college and didn't do anything  musically  for many years. Started playing the saxophone and tuba more recently, and in the last four years or so got back into the keyboard which is now my main instrument.

I like making up jazzy  late night music & music you can listen to when travelling. Sounds like a strange thing but I find the most enjoyable part of a holiday is the travelling part, whether that's on a plane , train or even a car on a quiet road with some nice views. Looking through a window with a changing view, in a bubble of suspended time between two worlds, that's what travelling feels like to me, and I like to write music that sounds that way - http://soundcloud.com/markd54321/361-stolen-moments-320kbps . Can't really explain it any better than that for now. Cheers Mark
