No thanks, close this window
Hi, I had a quick trip through your excellent songs. Regrettably, jazz is genre I'm not familiar with, however, there is a lovely cool vibe to the songs. I particularly enjoyed the vocals which sound wonderfully relaxed. There's not a lot to see in your profile, it would be great to know more about you. For a starter, do I call you Topaz, who is the vocalist and who plays what instruments? Lots of luck with your projects. Cheers for now, Bob
Hello, Bob. Sorry we've taken so long getting back to you. Thanks for your positive remarks. We are, in a word, TopazThyme. Bunny, my wife is Topaz And I, Durwood, am Thyme. So please call us TopazThyme. Bunny is the primary vocalist, though I do a few songs that might be male-specific. I am a former upright jazz double bassist. Most of what you hear is computer/software assisted and generated.
I must admit it took me some scrolling to find this! Thanks for getting back to me and for all the personnel details. Lots of luck with your projects. Bob
Thank you and may you realize all your musical aspirations!
Great melodies and arrangements, man. Wow, you've got a tremendous body of work. By the way, we were once neighbors. I lived in Trenton for years.
Nice track! Chords and your use of syncopation is really cool! Why so short?
Nice song! And a positive message! I heard a "problem" I deal with in writing words; too many! Not a real issue, I guess, but brevity makes a song easier to sing and listen to. As I said, though, I have same problem, wondering if I've said enough to get my message over. My ears are good enough to know if that was a key change at, I think, verse 4. Whatever it was though, it added a nice little "something" to the song. And you reinforced my thinking that I need to insert some little interludes between sections in my own songs. You used that device quite nicely. Keep making music!
Thank you for very kind comments Topaz. Nice to be connected also, will have a listen to your songs very soon. It certainly was a key change sir. One of the things I struggle with is getting dynamics into a song and a key change can often help, I just try not to do it too often. Thanks again, Bob
Want to give you credit for taking on the Coltrane composition. No, offense but you guys should up your production quality to match the playing and composing abilities. I get it though; it ain't easy to record a full band with drums and all. Great effort, though!!
