Congrats on the win; you earned it! I've been listening to this and trying to figure out the chords you use. My knowledge of jazz is still in need of some expanding. I was wondering also if the bass was played live or is it a vst? If so which one? It sounded like a warm hung :-)

Thanks very much! I actually took the chord progression from the tune ‘Georgia on my mind’ - it’s not exactly the same progression, but Oscar Peterson has a lovely version. I also started in F and modulated to Ab using a ii - V for the repeat of the melody - Oscar’s stays in Ab. I’m playing the bass live! Glad you liked it, my schooling has mainly been in jazz bass :)


Depending on how deep you want to get into it, there’s a great book called ‘The Jazz Theory book’ by Mark Levine which goes into a lot of detail about jazz harmony - contains lots of gems, but it’s quite thick. You can dip in and out though depending on what you find interesting. Nice work yourself! Cheers, T

Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate getting some insight about your process. I actually do have that book, I keep starting it and then getting distracted lol. One day I swear I will get through it. You've inspired me.

That bass part was WAY too smooth LOL Might have to do a cover of this for fun. Love the simply melody and pad interjections as well. Lovely!

Really solid bass groove. Has the same sort of futuristic cozy as something like Coffee Talk or VA-11 Hall-A

Oh wow. Second melody part is hitting with some classic japanese melancholy. And then we just keep moving on to something more fun. Life is good kinda vibe
