Final_metroid Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 so I can't get this jazz song out of my head, i remember since I was maybe 6-7 years old (199X)from hearing it on the radio numerous times and i MUST find out what it is. I only remember what it sounds like, heres a vague part of the song E-D-A-F E-D-A-F C-Bflat-F-D C-Bflat-F-D I know im being ridiculously vague but can anyone help?

Kanthos Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I can give a shot at it. Any more information you can supply would be really really helpful. Do you remember the artist(s) playing it? Was it a big band chart, small combo, or what? What instruments were there? What genre of jazz was it (bop, cool, fusion, modern jazz, etc.)? Do you have any rough idea of how old it was (you can often tell from the recording quality, to some extent; if there's any/a lot of static, that probably puts it in the 40's or earlier, or else it was a really bad recording). Were you giving a chord progression here, or melody notes? Do you remember any more of the song than what you have here? If chords, can you give any of the melody, and vice versa?

Final_metroid Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 not so much, since i was almost a toddler when I heard it. It was played very often on the radio, maybe smooth jazz genre, a saxophone played those series of notes I posted. It was not a fast song, no static at all (1980-90?). From the voice it was (PROBABLY) a black musician (although thats not a very dependable observation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I don't know smooth jazz very well, but I know some people who do. I'll ask around for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Do you remember what type of saxophone it was? What kind of tempo and feel the song was (fast and upbeat? Funky? Slow & seductive?) One possibility is that it was a Kenny G song with Michael Bolton singing. You could try poking around allmusic.com; they have audio clips of most, if not all, songs they have up there. Hmm, had two people suggest Careless Whisper by Georege Michael. I'm going to have to burn my ears or something after listening to all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Ok, more suggestions that it's Careless Whisper. The Dave Koz version is probably the best example; the clip ends with the first 8 of the 16 notes you gave. Hopefully this is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_metroid Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 yes, careless whisper was the song. ty for your help! finally I know what this is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Glad to help (Although I could've done without the listening to smooth jazz part of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
