'Shadow Groove' Jazzy Hip Hop Piano Drums and Bass

Here is the recent 'Shadow Groove' song with a bassist this time, I think you guys will really like this. You might have to turn up the volume a bit if the piano is too low at times, but for the full experience this should be blasted at full volume anyways :) so doooo it, I don't think you'll be disappointed! At least I wasn't when I just listened to this run through, just turned my bass and speaker volume way up and chilled to this while it's raining outside.



When I listen to it I get the feeling of going fast on the freeway at night and neon lights and fleeting shadows passing by you as you look out the window in a blur, or just in general I get a sense of darkness, hence the name 'Shadow Groove.'

Sick groove, sick drum fills, sick bass lines (that bass line is FUNKY, haha so awesome)

This was the first time we've ever played with a bassist so it was really awesome to be able to adapt to include a new instrument rather than just having a duo of piano and drums. The bassist is Josh Kim, who I actually taught some jazz theory and piano to in the past, and he's graduating high school soon and currently applying to music schools for bass. It was really a pleasure to play with him, I think it makes the sound so much more full and frees both me and Justin to be more creative as well.

u know ive watched all of Samurai Champloo, and downloaded the whole soundtrack. i compose music, first song when i was 10, ive been searching for a laid back, jazzy, lounge, hip hop style. this is exactly what i was looking for, you guys sound so amazing, do u have any piano tips to learn those chops and this style?

[mmeronek]

@CosmosisArmada message me and I'll send you a compilation I send people who ask for tips

[LiquidDnb4Ever]

[mmeronek]

@LiquidDnb4Ever nah this is an original

[hogerabbs]

LIKE THIS IF YOU THINK THEY SHOULD MAKE AN ALBUM!!!!!!

[TheXrythmicXtongue]

you guys should get an amp and put a mic close to the strings, a strong bass greatly compliments the rhythm....

[DonkeyPunchForLunch]

Meh, bass could be better, but the piano and drums kill hard man (:

@CosmosisArmada

my friend haters exist every where, its their job to hate what do you think

and plus the more haters you got means you are moving up

so if you got 14 haters now move to 16 before the summer gets here

[165336themac]

so where are the millions of views were are the fools to watch these good and talented fools

but i am only questioning the piano

it really cant be an original if we dont see the piano so do one with the piano it it
