Wiesty Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Well folks here it is.... After a long...long....long time of waiting, the OC Jazz Collective has been reborn from the ashes of the OCR Big Band. This premiere track entitled "The Guru" is a post-bop re-imagination of "Song of Storms" from Ocarina of Time. We have an amazing line up of OC Remix greats on this track! Arranger: Wiesty Soprano/Alto Saxophone- XPRTNovice Tenor Saxophone- Anthony Lofton Trombone- Fratto Trumpet- Sir Jordanius Piano/Drums- Wiesty Bass- audio fidelity Solos by Anthony Lofton, XPRTNovice and Wiesty We had a ton of fun working on this track, and we hope to bring you many more! https://soundcloud.com/wiesty/the-guru-the-oc-jazz-collective Edited April 22, 2014 by Wiesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Wow, REALLY authentic sound on this one, excellent work! I loved that section around 1:33. Fantastic playing by everyone, and those solos were really tight. I'm extremely impressed overall. I'd love to arrange something someday for a jazz ensemble like this. Hopefully I can get around to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Wow! Nice work putting this together. The arrangement is very nice, the playing is good, the track overall is super enjoyable to listen to, and the sound is authentic to the style. Thanks for this track! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalvania Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Sweet! Very good jazz arrangement, nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperiorX Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 This is some really awesome stuff! The performances are stellar and this perfectly captures that jazz ensemble feel. I particularly enjoyed that sax solo and the transition into the piano solo bit. The noodling in the piano solo was smoooooth. I am a huuuuuuge fan of jazz and we really need more stuff like this!! Bravo to all involved!!! And this reminds me - Wiesty - I need to follow-up with you regarding that jazz arrangement I sent you a looooong time ago. I'd love to see it come to fruition if the OC Jazz Collective is now officially in the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiesty Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks everyone! Everyone on the team was super excited to get this out after a lot of hard work. The OC Jazz Collective is definitely a thing now, so if you have any arrangements you'd like for us to take a look at, PM me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Rex Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This is an awesome arrangement, you can really hear the musicality of each of the performers, and the arrangement is pretty top notch as well. That piano solo tickled my fancy so much I don't know what to do with myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danileigh79 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It reminds me a little too much of a cover The Runaway Five did of the Song of Storms though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
