Return to the 3rd Green House [with jwh]

By miraclemiles on December 15, 2024 11:59 pm

This track is built upon jwh's excellent week 48 song escape to the 3rd green house, with permission. Many thanks to jwh for sharing this one and letting me use it!

Whew, my adrenaline is high, snuck this one in with one minute to spare.

My son played these sax parts about an hour ago. Getting a teenager to sit down for a session on a deadline can sure be a challenge. I feel like if I can manage that feat I can manage any difficult session musicians that may come my way in the future!

So after he played a bit, I did a quick edit to find some parts, and did my best to mix it into what I already had. Could use some more tweak for sure  but I'm happy we go the sax in last minute!

Earlier this week I added some drums and keys and textures to the original which was fun. Contemplated sampling and remixing more extremely, but I liked the original so much I just decided to enjoy playing along with it. I did make a few changes. I felt like speeding up the original to a groove that got my toes tapping more. Then I edited the arrangement a bit, not sure new arrangement or tempo is better or worse, but those changes let me have some creative fun at least.

All around a fun experiment I would do again. I like building on playing with other creators work, but it can have that stress built in because you want to honor the original creator!

Awesome work!  The sax parts sound great and it has such a full live band sound with all the drum parts.  Reminded me a bit of 'the Budos band'. 

The sax really adds a lot to this.  Glad you were able to wrangle your son in.  I imagine getting teenagers to cooperate with deadlines is not unlike herding cats, but the results were for sure worth it.

Wow, this is a beautiful collab. Especially the sax makes this outstanding. I thought, I was listening to a Fela Kuti record.

So rad, what a cool sound. This has such a joyful energy, the drumming and saxophone are awesome. Really enjoy this arrangement.
