Bad-ass
Awesome, man. Nothing I can think of that can be improved on, it's flawless.
In my opinion, a musician's best work is recorded when he doesn't know he's recording. :)
Reviews for "Tokyo Blues"
RadioactiveRhino responds:
Very true. I always screw up when I know it counts XD
As for flawless, I think I could have been a bit less random, but maybe I'm just being overcritical (feel free to chat with me about it in a PM)
Thanks for the great review, glad you enjoyed it!
Shame about the accompaniment being so low
Because you've got a great jam here. I had it playing in the background while I was doing other stuff, and it's great music to chill to.
Diggin' the tunes, man! =P
This is how you play a sax! Great job, love jazz, there aren't enough people on newgrounds that record their own instruments (myself included), it's a refreshing break from all the techno =D
RadioactiveRhino responds:
Aw, thanks LoveBlimpman!
I'm glad you liked it so much.
And yes, there is WAAAAY to much techno here.
Well, I have to hand it to ya'
It's a good track overall. It sounds like a rehearsal session rather than an actual performance.. no offense intended. You're making a good start by submitting a live performance and I'm sure you'll get far here on the audio portal if you keep on practicing!
It's better than what I can do jazz-wise,

RadioactiveRhino responds:
Thank you Bosa! And as for the rehearsal session, that sorta is what it is. So, that means it turned out well :P
And hearing that last line from you means alot.
I'm putting that in my imaginary online NG scrapbook!
I don't see...
...why you'd beat yourself up for being random. Being random is something jazz prides itself on. Of course a 20 minute odyssey is a bit much but being random shows the true style of the performer. A couple suggestions.
Same song.
Up the volume on the accompanying instruments just a touch, don't overpower them.
Keep practicing and try and do a mistake free run (still friggen impressive at how few there were in this one)
Keep the rehearsal feel while cleaning it up a bit.
Just keep playing man. That's good enough for me.
RadioactiveRhino responds:
Well, the problems behind the mistakes
One: I was trying to do a note nearly impossible on the instrument. Requires your FOOT in the bell, which is hard. Very hard.
Two: I had a new reed, which sometimes stutters you and makes higher/lower notes alot harder.
Thanks for the review, man!
awesome..
Have to give it up to you for playing some Horace Silver.
I just did a remix of his song 'que pasa' - should check it out? Not that im fishing for listens, : D
just thought it was cool to see someone else doing something by him, he's great.
should play some more songs by 'em.. : D
Take care!
RadioactiveRhino responds:
Thanks, AloysiusRexford!
Que Pasa is also a pretty good HS song, I'll be sure to check it out :)
