this is, without a doubt, my favourite remix ever. anyone who'd question the jazz label clearly doesn't know shit about jazz and should get back in their trad box. the intro is a bit reminiscent of some of chick corea's solo stuff, and the whole melodic style reminds me a little of hiromi's stuff (a former student of ahmad jahmal, a little tidbit for the jazz heads). the flute (or wooden flute, which it sounds a bit like) playing is fantastic too, very earthy and rootsy. sublime.

well, i think the sax sounded very natural (this coming from someone who was in a jazz big band for 4 years). as long as it's not the main attraction (and so you're not completely focussed on it) it seeps in to your mind naturally. the squeaks on that sax and the way it was done made the 'breathing' sound very natural. reason, eh? i shall have to check it out now that you can rewire it into logic. it wouldnt be stupid to use it simply as some intsruments to be controlled in logic, would it?

woo, i love that mix! only criticism is that maybe the beat is too quantized, its most noticable when there are two hits to a beat. but love the kind of 'weaving' of the chords and the sax. i love that legato synth sound! and the sax is bloody fantastic! the way the little runs and riffs kind of are 'thrown off' - fantastic. and the little semitone trills, classic. what is the sax sound? is it a real sax? its absolutely fantastic - the variable 'breathiness' and the nice squeak in the high register - mmmm. what did you use to make this piece?
