Post by: StephenM on March 27, 2021, 02:16:02 PM
This is 4 keyboard parts by my 16 year old son Markus, bass and drums by me...and the high flute that appears also me (keyboard)

Alesis Nitro drums
Epiphone Bass (it was lonely) I like the mellow ness of it on this
Casio Privia keyboard

It was cool to get to jam with my son...it's rare and precious

i used to play in a band with my Son , Alas not anymore , good days he is 40 next year !!! I really do like this musical composition , the chord structure is brilliant, and your son Markus is a budding talent with a super feel to his keyboard playing , you have a priceless recording of your time with your son , keep it in a safe place for ever , well done Markus and Steven , got to be another one down the line from you both, great stuff !!

Wow, that is smoking
Love the keyboard part and that bass is killer.

Those experiences are precious indeed.

Like the openness of the tune.  Hope to be constructing musical compositions with my Grandson soon (although he's just approaching 5 months of age LOL).

Also, interesting name for the song.

This is so cool, Stephen. Lovely keys work and that bass is stellar with an awesome tone. Great composition with those nice jazzy chords.

Love the jazzy feel and swing - the keys and bass are especially fab, and brought the great Bill Fay to mind.

Well done, gentlemen.

Yeah, way cool. Markus, you have a natural feel for those keys. This was a really chilled listen here on my headphones. I like the way it gets a bit avant garde with that jazzy bass work and those experimental drums. Lovely tune lads.

Really like the mellow chords and loose, laid-back (dare I say jazzy?) feel of this. Impressive drumming (as usual), and that bass noodling is fantastic. A really sweet piece of music, and must have been very satisfying / fun to do this with your son.

Nice one :-)

What an excellent instrumental. Cool and laud back jazz style. I can imagine this in one of those 70's films. Great jamming from you and your son. And great playing. Love the music style. Darren :)

Lovely. Really nice keyboard sounds and melodies, and the drumming is very cool indeed, it really gives a bit of an edge to this. A really good combination of father and son, I'll take more like this please.

Very unique, spacey sound. Really loving the steady drums with your sons mystical keyboards on top. Like some have said a bit Zappa like, but also it gives me a slight early Pink Floyd Vibe (like Careful With That Axe Eugene). It was a joy to drift away into this one.... :)

Last song of the night, and I apologise for missing it the first time 'round.
This is a great piece, and i'm happy I didn't miss it.
Good work Markus.
Steve , you are such a great addition to this site. You should know that I am a fan.

Family music jam is awesome, and this one has a nice laid-back jazz feel.  I know what you mean by rare, because my kids are good piano/keyboard players but they act like I'm torturing them if I ask them to stop playing video games to come play music with me  ::)
