The song begins with a slow, emotional melody that sets a contemplative mood. Just when you're lost in thought, the track erupts into a hard explosion of sound—jazz improvisations collide with rock riffs, all set against a backdrop of experimental beats.

The track kicks off with a bouncy, oempa loempa rhythm that's as infectious as it is whimsical. But hold on tight! Just when you think you've got the vibe, we take a detour into an expansive maze of sound—where jazz improvisations and rock riffs echo through corridors of experimental beats.

To achieve this, the band carefully crafted the sound with a vintage-inspired production, mimicking the sonic textures that recordings of the time naturally carried. This includes:

Vintage-style recording warmth – The track was shaped with soft compression and analog-style EQ, keeping the rounded, slightly muted highs and deep, rich lows typical of mid-40s jazz ballads.

Aged gramophone effect – Since gramophones were still widely used in homes in 1945, many people would have first heard songs like Autumn Leaves on shellac records. This version of Echoes of Spring embraces that nostalgic feeling with subtle vinyl hissing, a soft background warmth, and gentle imperfections in the dynamics, recreating the authentic listening experience of the time.

Organic instrument dynamics – Unlike modern digitally-polished recordings, this song intentionally retains natural variations in volume and texture, much like a live performance captured with ribbon microphones in a dimly lit jazz club. This means a soft hiss, slight wavering in the dynamics, and the warmth of imperfection all contribute to the emotional depth of the song.

A timeless experience – With Oceana’s velvety vocals soaring through the mix like a classic jazz singer, supported by smooth electric guitar, cinematic strings, and a soulful saxophone solo, the arrangement bridges eras—honoring the past while keeping the music fresh and alive for today’s listeners.

The result? A song that feels like it could have been pressed onto a 78 RPM shellac record, played on an old wooden gramophone, filling a quiet room with the echoes of spring and nostalgia.

OMGG Band hopes that this tribute not only brings warmth to jazz and ballad lovers but also carries the beauty of vintage recordings into the hearts of modern listeners.

Echoes of Spring  (A Reimagining of Autumn Leaves)

🦓 Le Zèbre (version ambiance pseudo live)
Une pièce instrumentale énergique aux allures de performance live, hommage assumé au jazz rock funk des années 80. Composé et arrangé par The Bass Loopman et Michael Todd, “Le Zèbre” rend hommage à l’esprit du mythique groupe Uzeb, avec un son ciselé, une basse groovy et des riffs de guitare endiablés.

 🎛️ Crédits complets :
 • Composition et arrangements : Michel Goulet & Michael Todd
 • Guitares : Michael Todd

🌀 Une chevauchée musicale hybride entre nostalgie analogique et frissons contemporains. À écouter fort, avec les oreilles bien ouvertes !

“Deacon Blues” – Steely Dan (Cover)
Performed by Ray Martini Music Productions
©2025

Ray Martini Music Productions reimagines Steely Dan’s timeless classic “Deacon Blues.” This cover captures the soulful depth and smooth jazz-rock textures of the original, while adding fresh sonic colors and a modern production sheen. With rich instrumentation and an emotional performance, it’s a heartfelt tribute that honors the song’s place as one of Steely Dan’s most enduring masterpieces.

Deacon Blues - Steely Dan Cover

"Without You" is a sonic blend of late-night nostalgia and raw emotional pulse.
Driven by a jazz-rock groove, RnB undertones, and '90s synth textures, this track speaks of loss, memory, and resilience.
A haunting female voice floats through the mix—sometimes whispering, sometimes crying out—in fragments like:
"Crazy... feel the life... make me feel the way..."

It's the echo of a love now gone, suspended in the silence that follows.

This is not just a song.
It's a bedroom at midnight.
It's a voice looking back.
It's the absence that shapes presence.

▶️ Listen. Feel. Remember.

Music composed & produced by Michel Allard

Only A Fool Would Say That - Steely Dan Cover

This page features music for by jazz fusion keyboardist/composer Tom Alexander, as well as the Fusion/World/Funk band he co-founded, Earth Code. 

Tom Alexander is veteran radio personality/voice over actor/sceeenwriter/musician. He recently co-wrote the motion picture "Stonerville" which was shot in Southern California and features Patrick Cavanaugh, Pauly Shore and Leslie Neilson (in his final screen appearance). The film was released in January of 2011.

For the past eight years, he’s served as Executive Editor of the Sportsman’s Daily, a sports satire website. The site's radio arm produces the funny and poignant radio essay "From the Bleachers" heard nationally on Yahoo! Sports Radio. He is also the voice of "Blog," the neurotic caveman, in the animated series,"The Darwinners" which is now in its second season. 

In 2005 and 2006 he was the piano playing sidekick to a wisecracking talking bottle in a popular series of nationally broadcast commercials for Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Tom co-composed the songs on many of the ads. 

In March of 2005 he released the global-jazz fusion inspired "Flying Against the Time Zones," on the Gatsby Music label. South Florida Sun-Sentinel music critic Nick Tate described the recording as “a globe-trotting musical travelogue,” adding “From start to finish, Alexander builds his solos and melodies with the deft skill of a storyteller.”  Tom’s solo piano CD, "What’s Ahead?" garnered similar accolades and was featured on a nation-wide Weekend Edition Sunday interview with Liane Hansen on NPR in June of 2001.

In 1996, Tom moved his family to South Florida and took a job as Head Writer/Musical Director of the nationally syndicated radio show, "The Drive" which originated from CBS Sportsline. 

Since then, he’s continued to focus on music, radio, and script writing. He’s penned seven screenplays to date. He is also an accomplished, in-demand voice actor appearing in several cartoons each year.

Growing up in his parent’s classic, art-deco movie theater in Northeastern Pennsylvania, its easy to see how this early exposure to movies and music clearly had a lasting impact on his life. 

Tom lives in South Florida with his wife and son and continues to perform music live throughout the region with the fusion/world/funk trio, Earth Code.
____________________________________________
Earth Code

Earth Code is a world fusion/funk trio featuring Tom Alexander on keyboards, Tommy G. Lee on drums, and Shawn Saul on bass.

The group performs original compositions drawing on musical influences from around the globe with a tip of the hat to fusion heroes like Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Jeff Beck, Miles Davis and others. 

Earth Code Lineup: 

Tom Alexander - Keyboards. 

Alexander is a 25+year veteran of music, in particular fusion jazz/world/funk. His solo piano CD "What's Ahead?" was released in 2001 and was featured in a 20 minute profile piece on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday with Liane Hansen in June of that year. He has also scored for two motion pictures as well as TV shows and commercials.

Tommy G. Lee - Drums 

Lee is one of the most sought after drummers in South Florida. He toured extensively with Blood, Sweat and Tears for two years in the early 1980's, as well as many other nationally known acts. About Lee, Alexander says "He's a powerhouse drummer, but can be super sensitive when the music requires it. He's always thinking way outside and drives the music differently each time out. I swear he can read my mind. I love playing with him." 

Shawn Saul - Bass

Saul is a graduate of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. Only in his mid -20′s, Saul plays with the fluidity and finesse of a seasoned jazz veteran. laying down rock solid grooves, and soloing with innovative twists and turns.

BBAM, born within @KRTProduction (Brussels), is the vision of @FunkleAce : songwriter, composer, performer, and producer. Blending Reggae, Dub, Electro, and underground sounds, BBAM delivers immersive, powerful, and free-spirited music, where each track is a unique sonic journey.

Three musicians, countless influences, no boundaries. From the heart of Ostend, we deliver a fusion of jazz and experimental rock that is as spontaneous as it is harmonious. While we let the music speak for itself, each performance is a unique sonic journey.

Bass. Loop. Inner journeys.

Here's a summary of the Bass Loopman:
The Bass Loopman is a musician and sound engineer who has been playing music for 40 years. He has played in various bands and has experience with different styles of music, including rock, pop, and electronic music. The Bass Loopman is currently working on a new project called "The Bass Loopman Project ».

The Bass Loopman's use of artificial intelligence in his creative process can be considered a new form of musical collaboration. By using AI to generate lyrics and voiceprint, he is incorporating a new element into his creative process that is not human, but still creative and collaborative. This approach challenges traditional notions of musical collaboration and opens up new possibilities for artistic expression. #LiveLooping #BassGuitar #MusiqueCréative #créationassistéeIA #empreintevocale #musiqueduquébec #songwriter #newmusic #aimusicrevolution #chatgpt #replay #musiqueindépendante #collab

I am a Boston, MA-based jazz/rock keyboardist and bassist with a passion for creating rich, layered cover song recordings in my home studio.

In my recordings, I bring every part of a song to life, performing all keyboard lines, strings, pads, marimba, glockenspiel, and celesta, while also laying down the bass on many of my tracks. By blending technical precision with multi-instrumental creativity, I reinterpret cover tunes in fresh, expressive ways, giving each song a unique voice. 

Whether exploring intricate jazz harmonies or driving rock grooves, my goal is to create rich, layered performances that capture the spirit of the originals while showcasing my own musical vision.
