Written by yours truly. I play chromatic harmonica, pedal steel (E9/B6), standard guitar and all the MIDI stuff on this one. Penny on bass guitar and saxes.

WARNING: Listening to this music might just leave you with a "Contact High"!

Really nice Slim, Harmonica playing reminds me of Toots!

Thanks Craig! Toots was a real trail blazer on the chromatic.

Good one Slim! Even though I am not a jazz player, I loved the music. If you don't like this, you don't like ice cream!
Keep'em coming. Very Happy

Thanks Roy! Never been compared to ice cream before, but I'll take it Smile.

An aside: back in the mid-70's we used to play a club in Round Rock fairly regularly (trying to remember the name). I'm guessing we wouldn't recognize the area now Smile.

Yeah, that's a very cool cut Craig.

In case you weren't aware, this was released recently -- Jaco's 1982 live show from NPR (with Toots) -- it's wonderful:

Very nice. Got some great sounds from the MIDI patches, bass, harmonica, saxes and steel. I wasn't ready for it to end when it did.

The weak link seems to be the sound of the claps. Might want to check out this VST bundle: https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/7349-Claps-Stomps-and-Snaps-Bundle

I listened to some of your other songs too. I was quite taken with "Smitten". All the songs I heard sound good and have great arrangements.

Thanks so much Jim!

As for that VST bundle, I have it and that is exactly what I used Smile. I kind of like the sound I got on the claps, but there's always room for improvement!
