Jazzy NYC: Harlem Soul

It's been a cool minute since I've even thought about Jazzy NYC. This is the last time I'm going to arrange this song. Consider this a proper farewell to a well loved joint. Between Kariu, Maxie, Skullkidd, Jelehu, myself (Native Dialect) and at least five or six other Youtube musicians, this song has been given more than enough attention. I hope y'all dig it. I know it is short, but I just can't be bothered to invest more energy into this song. Here's to chuckin' up deuces to Hideki Okugawa's classic joint.

Production Notes:

- Original instrumentation (excluding drums)
- Produced with GarageBand for the iPad 2
- Guitar sections played on my Ibanez Talmon

Stay blessed. All thanks to Good God the Great, our Heavenly Father. Keep your head down and keep it pushin'.

Hey Native remember when I said Jazzy NYC is my favorite track by you. It's because I live in NY, particularly in Harlem lol. This is a beautiful picture of 125th. I love it. I like the vibe on this one, but the original is perfect. It was gritty and chill, it really captured the essence of New York. This is good though. Keep it up man.

I agree. The original is still the best. Okugawa was beast mode with it. Cop sirens, a James Brown Sample, saxophones. He really put in work when he made that track. Also, respect to Harlem in particular and NY in general. That's the heart of a lot of modern black culture. Hip hop, the Apollo, the Harlem Renaissance etc. You do us proud over in that area. Harlem is a beautiful part of our history. Thank you for giving spins to my beats. Peace to you and yours.

Good to see you around again. This amazing arrangement really does it for me...reminds me of "the days" haha....being in middle school and discovering hip hop, jazz, and Street Fighter. It was thanks to you guys that I found myself in life, surrounded by good music and an abundance of creative energy. Much love.

I dig this. Definitely sounds like a fitting epilogue to your Jazzy NYC journey. Can't help but respect it. I still want to take a crack at this song, if for nothing else, to do what you and the other YouTube muscians have done for me: Inspire and to give the chance to hear it like I do. All in all, this is dope. Can't wait for the next endeavor.

Its got a pleasant feel to it. Short but sweet. I still prefer Jazzy NYC Harlem's Nocturne remix over this though. That was one of your better tracks for sure.

[Avistant]

@TheNativeDialect Most def man. I was talking about your crimson fury rendition though lol, but yeah Okugawa definitely put a lot of imagination and time into the track. And yeah Harlem is a great place. One day, I plan to do an ode to Harlem. Keep spinning the beats and I'll keep listening. Stay tranquil man. Peace.
