[Cover in dirt] Take 5

[Laguna Rising]

This is the famous jazz standard worsened my way 
There are many layers of sounds to recreate the trumpet and sax ensable, to be more realistic as possible
I didn't change the composition just the sounds and I had fun playing bass and guitar and addin my dirty touch to lead lines 

Take 5

I hope the jazz purists will forgive me...

Cheers

I'm one of the real jazz purist here 
Now should I forgive you.... 

At first listening i was thinking 'No, I will never forgive him' 
The after the second listen, I tought 'it's actually not that bad'
and after a couple listenings I tought 'this is good' 

I like the new dress of this classic, it sounds realy fresh.
And i notice that good solo in the break, well done !



So yes, I like it
I wonder if Dave Brubeck would like this

For those that don't know the original : http://youtube.com/watch?v=DDOgYw5-pNs
So where's that drum-solo Laguna 
There is allso a good funky version from George Benson : http://youtube.com/watch?v=7Df_7IaKmfI&feature=related

oh, no... my version can't be au pair with the original, or George Benson version, certainly not...
I consider it an exercise

Thanks

I loved it!

A different slant on a jazz standard!

SUPER

Your music is always good to listen to LR! You don't make music I don't enjoy   Along with the overall lunacy, there's some real nice touches in there. You certainly don't need my forgiveness

[Laguna Rising]

Thanks a lot for the comments ! 

[Martin E]

Of course it doesn't have the jazz feel of the original. Who cares It has Laguna's signature all over it and that's good enough for me.

[Laguna Rising]

Thanks so much Martin !  this is one of the best comments I got

Well I had some trepidation about listening to this as I know the original so well.

I think I'll let you off though ... just

It's an original and fresh arrangement, and different enough so that I don't find myself making comparisons.

Cool ! I'm happy you find it different and not just a cold exercise...

I enjoyed your version.

thanks ! 

[Oren]

The guitar and bass stuff must have been difficult!

I've heard this one a time or two, from different artists, and for my taste, yours is as good as any.

Take a bow, Maestro!

[Laguna Rising]

Thank you very much for the kind words Oren !
