Jazz

This lively, goofy New Orleans brass came to life in about 8 minutes due to a last-minute client request. It was ultimately orphaned, so here it is for your aural delight! I never got around to trying horn scoops, but this still delivers a passable (if corny) early-NOLA street jazz vibe.

Another nice piano jazz piece here to complement Old-Time Ivories. This one takes on a quicker pace and a more modern flavor, adding a ride cymbal track and full drum kit toward the end, but it's still pretty laid-back.

This happy-go-lucky jazz number is the perfect soundtrack to a walk in the park! Think breezy Parisian boardwalks, doggies-in-the-window, and ice cream under a well-pruned fig tree.

Here's a really nice laid-back piano jazz piece I put together a long time ago in a sort-of Django style. This one is easygoing, but it's also a bit adventurous with some interesting chord twists and meandering solos. Try it with a dry Manhattan!
