I wanted to make an instrumental song with a (swing)-jazzy vibe ...
In the outro part the song morphs into a Latin-groove, somehow Santana-like (too me).
This songs is also the story how I met on old school friend again. He lives now since 2008 in New Zealand. In the age of 15-20 we were very close. He played drums and I played bass in these days in the mid seventies. Good times ...
I am more than happy that he contributes to this song with his Didgeridoo and Hang. Very inspiring instruments.
It is just amazing how easy it is to set up a "virtual band" across the world nowadays to make music with modern communication and recording technology. We probably will do more music projects together in the future.
A Marshall JVM410 is normally not well known for jazz guitar playing. Well, I think it is more a matter how to dial in a decent jazz guitar tone. The Clean orange channel is a good starting point for that.
For the lead parts I used my Warmoth H-S-H built with Suhr Doug Aldrich pickups. I think this guitar can do some jazzy tones as well.
The drums are programmed with Toontrack EZ Drummer 2.
I have chosen therefore the "Basic Jazz Groove" with a Modern Vintage drum kit out of the EZ Drummer 2 basic package. Very nice sounding, transparent and airy beat imo. I recorded the specific EZ Drummer 2 drum kit with a camcorder from the PC screen and incooperate it into the vids virtual band rehearsal room.
Have fun watching / listening:
