Happy Feet (Suite)

Classic swinging brass-led jazz track. Piano, shuffling drums, syncopated strummed guitar intro. Brass enters with a fast, energetic melody sounding like When The Saints Go Marching In, or a classic big band standard. Upbeat, happy, positive and warm, harking back to the jazz-age, would suit a modern Film/TV scene set in New Orleans, contrasting old and new. Would also suit a fun and friendly advert for a family product.

Bed version omits the Brass melodies.

Laid back reggae/jazz instrumental. 1920s jazz meets reggae rhythms. Skanking piano, breezy drums, relaxed, smooth brass, reggae rhythms with vintage jazz mood and flourishes. Nostalgic, retro, relaxed and calming, would suit a 1920s-themed onscreen party or an advert for an easy-going, fun summer event.

A short burst of swinging jazz with walking bass, horn blasts and shuffling jazz drums. Fizzing with energy and hedonism, this Pink Panther-esque vintage track harks back to the jazz age but those rumbling drums would not be out of place on the Flintstones. Perfect for a short energetic advert or a goofy retro TV sequence.

Solo piano. Jazz chords straight out of a classic movie scene set in a smoky cavernous jazz club. Slow chordal movement at first, sweet and lyrical, moves to a confused romantic motif with some dissonance, chords grow in volume and intensity, a declaration of love. Back to the introductory chords, more relaxed now with hints of unsettling dissonance. Romantic, confused and reckless, a love letter to early jazz, on Film/TV, would suit a La La Land style, modern interpretation of heady jazz-age love.
