good job

i often get bored of the electronica and computer based music that you see alot of these days. for a while i thought no one was making any of the good stuff, and well you have proven me wrong. a good thing perhaps as i very much like this music. i did notice that it does have some compurterised sounds but thats later on and over all its a very nice song. i hope you continue to make music like this (i quite like it).

i cant wait to see you make more =P

sorohanro responds:

Thanx.
I make very different music, after 4~5 tracks on same style I take the totally opposite. As you can see now I'm in a Rock mood :))

Good Stuff

Usually with Jazz, I prefer a more "raw" sound. Just a core (usually wind) instrument at center stage and maybe some piano/percussion/bass to the side. I would kind of like to hear just the trumpet recording.

Regardless, the overall song is a nice, modern sounding piece.

sorohanro responds:

From Ragtime to Fusion, Jazz have a lot of colors. This was supposed to be more like in Pat Metheny/ Lyle Mays style. For a more raw/ rough sound the main theme is way too "pop".
I do like Hard-Bop approach of music, but achieving the right sound, with all that "live" feeling is quite hard to achieve without a real drummer and a good double bass player.
Thanx for review.

good

now all we need is some more double bass and a drummer( a real one)

if u ever need a bass in holland, give me a call ^^

sorohanro responds:

Yep ... that it needs ...
By the way, when I was back home in Romania I used to play in a jazz band called "Swinging Train".
The name of the double bass player is Hollandus Zoltan (Holland ... Hollandus ... Dave Holland ... somehow double bass and Holland have something in common).
