Shades Of Blue

[Johnny Robbo]

Hi guys,

Apologies to anyone from the other forum I frequent who may have heard this track already, but it's the most recent thing I've recorded, so I thought I'd use it as my 1st post here on Songcrafters.

I'm a big fan of John Coltrane, especially his "Blue Train" album & this is my attempt at something along those lines (on guitar, obviously - not sax).

Gear used was a Vintage AV3 semi through a Vox Tonelab (Roland JC120 setting), recorded in Cakewalk MC4, using Studio Instruments drums & string section. Bass was a cheap thing I picked up on Ebay with no name on the headstock, DI'd striaght into the desk.

Thanks for listening

As melancholy as a stroll through Montmatre in the rain. But then a ray of sunshine comes down as a single red baloon drifts skyward.

Beautiful, soulful tone and playing, and the recording / mixing is pro-level gorgeous.

Great way to introduce yourself!

A John Coltrane fan here too.

Sweet jazzy tones, great progressions,  nice looking guitar too, not dissimilar to the 335.

Absolutely great way to introduce yourself! Very laid back feel and brilliant playing!

Smooth and classy work - great intro! Makes me want to sit out in the sun and sip a tall whiskey & soda, even though it's only about 40° F (about 4.5° C) here at the moment.
