Title: Morning Dance (Cover)
Artists: NYCGRIFF
Album: Morning Dance

Hello Fellow Musicians & Music Lovers:

I want to take this time to thank those who have expressed their concern and well-wishes.  I truly appreciate your generous and heartfelt words.

As most of you know, I was involved in an automobile accident about a month or so ago.  Since that time, I have been resting and recuperating from some fairly nasty injuries. 

The good news, however, is that I am healing at a faster rate than my doctors (or anyone else for that matter) anticipated.

This song is a cover of one of my favorite Smooth Jazz/Jazz groups, Spyro Gyra.  The song, "Morning Dance", was released in 1979, and was a Top 40 hit in the United States for eight weeks.  To this day, this song remains one of my all-time favorites.

I assembled a bunch of VSTs to render this track: Embertone Chapman Trumpet, Addictive Drums 2, True Piano x64, SI Strings (Cakewalk), Trilian Bass, Ample Guitar L.

Acually, I basically completed this tune almost a year ago, but simply put it in a folder and forgot about it.

So folks, here is my tribute and rendition of, "Morning Dance".  Hope you enjoy...

Griff

Hi Griff,

morning dance would be desirable for my bad condition after yesterday's feast.. too much Easter cake.

I'm really happy that you are feeling well now.

It's very good, that you recalled about this folder. It's as to put the money somewhere and forget about them .. and for in the year time to find them unexpectedly. What a joy!!! Your song is like a treasure. Great piece of music, it was a pleasure to listen to your smooth tones.

Take care, Edyta

Das habe ich gerne gehört und es gefällt mir sehr gut.

Ich freue mich, das es dir wieder besser geht und die Tasten nicht mehr sicher sind
vor deinen flinken Fingern.
Ein sehr schönes Stück Musik.

Stop keeping the great stuff in the folder, we need to hear it.

This is great work and I know you put some time in to it.

Great Track Grip

Hoi Griff

I am really happy that I hear something from you again.

I hope you're well and that you yourself have recovered well.
Since I unfortunately do not have much time at the moment, I am somewhat less common on magix.
But, with such wonderful jazz music, it gives me all the more fun to comment.

cozy and melodious jazz music ..... very happy to hear.

Woohoo - Griff back in the pack, and with a knockout offering as usual.  I remember Spyro Gyra.  I have the vinyl somewhere, but haven't had a turntable for an age and a half.  Consequently I've not listened to them probably for as long as that, but recall their effervescent brand of music.  Yours has more meat somehow, but just as much energy.  It's your outstanding keyboard work driving the whole thing of course.  Fabulous.

I'm with Dirtzilla about that folder . . . . . . . it needs to spring more leaks - pretty please.

Hi Griff,

Good to see you back. 

I don't remember the original version, probably due to the fact that it is only recently that I have started to embrace jazz.  I found this version very vibrant with a good mixture of instruments.  I thought perhaps the first half of the track is a little over zealous with the piano, and thought that it needs to be pushed back a little.(my opinion only).

Overall, I quite liked it and sounded a little different somehow from your usual comps, but very nice.

Take care,

Graham.

Nice job on this.... I like your version, you push it a bit more but you did it just ever so lightly.

Hey Griff,

Welcome back...answered prayer!!!!

Spyro Gyra is one of my favorite groups as well.  You did a great job on covering "Morning Dance,"    Love it...love it...love it!  What a way to bounce back buddy!!!

dear griff, first makes me glad you I have communicated your health conditions that apparently are much improved.
logically it makes me happy.
As for the track, I do not know why the original, consider it your own and I can say without a doubt that you are a monster as always in this type of music.
Then in these days of fetsa everything that cheerful and joyful, doing nothing but good.
Listening to pleasant and that gave me a sense of freedom and happiness.
You're a great, shame about the distance that separates us, but with the music we are closer than you can imagine.
big one

hi Griff

First of all, it's great to see u back and with such a great tune!  I have several CD's by Spyro Gyra and they are one of my favs also.  This is an absolutely wonderful rendition of their song!

I'm typing with my left hand because I have a half cast on my right and it will be some time before I can use my thumb.  That makes it really, really hard to play! Physical therapy starts on the 15th.  I guess I have a partially bionic hand because I  have a shiny new titanium thumb joint!  I guess I'll have to look around and see if I have any "back burner" songs yo put on here.

Needless to say, this sucker goes into my favs immediately! 

I hope to be contributing here before long

Hello Griff


Pleased to hear your well on the way to good health, it is only when something like this happens to one that we realise how precious the loss could be -


If this track is one of your all time favourites no wonder you are recovering fast it is bubbling with energy.
