West Coast Shuffle - Big Band style

  • I've played in Big Bands almost all my musical life and have always enjoyed it. So over the years I've thought I should write a big band style tune. It wasn't easy but I'm finally done.

    Guitars:

    First solo and rhythm is a Yamaha AE-500
    Second solo is a Collings I-35LC

    Hope you'll enjoy this clichéd track.

  • Very cool, I really dig big bands , I used to play in the local jazz band , mostly horns , that was a great XP and I really dig playing all the swing tracks especially. You sure did a lot of work to program all these horns, well done !

    That Yamaha looks like a great & affordable instrument , solo fits really well.

  • Instant classic riff! Great fun track Mats_Nermark I love your jazz guitar tone on there too, it's really not as clichéd as you think, with an actual live brass section and a few subtle harmonic shifts between the players away from 5ths this would be top tier class.

    Thanks, Per!

    But I think for it to be top tier it would need more than a few subtle tweaks. :D
