Sounds great man.

What do you think of my Quartet
My quartet plays mostly original compositions of mine. I like to write a lot of odd time signature and open form types of tunes. We have gone through a couple of piano players, but the drummer, bass player, and I have been together for a couple of years now. I would like to see what you think.
For all you dark cynical musicians out there I am leaving my self wide open for you to impress others with your ability to put people down.

Hey Paul, sounds great, good ideas, nice composition, excellent solo structure.
The only thing I would say is about the recording itself. It may be my computers lousy speakers, but the sax was way up front, and put in what sounded to be a really dry acoustic--like really close miked.
edit: Just listened to part of the tune with the vocal track. The vocal is dry as well. Is this an artistic choice?
just my $.02...

And you've got some good chops. As well as a broad intervallic pallete to be working from. Keep it up.
Bass and drummer really tastey players.
Isn't that a put down as well?paulbrodt said:For all you dark cynical musicians out there I am leaving my self wide open for you to impress others with your ability to put people down.
Is it a joke, or asking for opinions from people he has just insulted? Interesting approach considering the other thread. Mmmm tasty tasty overtones.
Man, give the guy a break!!
You sound great, Paul. Let me know if your group ever comes up through DFW.

I loved your theory test thread.
I really like your rhythmic approach in your solos. Big sound, interesting harmonic ideas, intense intervals.
I can tell your a "searcher..."
Nice work

Mr B. reminds me of Joshua Redman's ELASTIC cd, first or second tune. Rhythmically and harmonically it is completely the same.

Wow, I am impressed. When I bought that album I wrote that tune like the very next day. There is a fine line between Inspiration, emulation, and imitation.
I appreciate all of the comments even pgraves.
It was not an insult. From my experience from the other thread I know there are people in this forum who would rather point out a spelling error on my website rather than give a thought out criticsm about my music.

I recorded most of the tunes with a MOTU audio converter using cakewalk. I used a shure 57 on my alto. I only had one large dipghragm mic and I used it on the bass. I know next to nothing about recording but I enjoy trying to figure it. I would like to take the tracks to a professional and let them mix it. Or just rerocord everything at a good studio. It's not just your speakers, the recording was done by an ammature.

Well, then, it's a good start. You have the raw materials, I think you're ready to do it up nice!paulbrodt said:"The only thing I would say is about the recording itself.

Nice man.
I would say though that maybe you try and get away from what's "correct" and play more of what you "hear", harmonically. Your ideas are fantastic, and you play with a lot of soul and fire (which is SO important and SO underrated).
I don't know if you're already doing this, and this isn't a criticism as much as a suggestion of another direction to explore. Look into just, from time to time, saying "**** the harmony" and playing what you hear in your head, even if it's the most "out there" sound you can think of - and even if, in a theory sense, it makes no sense at all.
But sounding good.
