Jazz? Manehattan Night? This sounds like something I'd love. I'll give this a listen when I get home. I've written a fair bit of jazz myself, and a lot of it based around New Manehattan. (:

Nice! Can definitely never get enough jazz. The sax felt a little stiff rhythmically in some parts to me, but overall well done. I totally get the high class nightlife on the city atmosphere from it.

Thanks for the feedback. Wish this had more views, but, oh well.

"And" is forever alone on that video.

Please tell me where you got that saxophone sample from. I need this sample.

As far as your song goes, you're trying to crack a hard shell. Jazz is all in the moment, with performers improvising their own melodies, riffs and stuff. A song is never stagnant. Look at the drummer in any band: He does that thing with the instruments (Drum fills etc.) to punctuate the song and give it life. The same can be said for all melodic instruments.

A computer could never do this.

You could work for ages on a track, manually adding fills and the like, but really the only way to get a good jazz sound is to play it live.

I'm not saying give up this road. PonyJazz is one of the greatest things in the world and I love this. The technical stuff behind this and the atmosphere is great and you've done a great job. Bravo!

But this isn't going to be a case of copy/paste. You'll need to think and write out all the fills.

*Shrug* Eh...I have no percussive talent what so ever, so I am really forced to use the default stuff on my keyboard. As for that Saxaphone, it's on the Casio WK-200 as instrument #254, T.Sax 2.
