Happy Birthday Jan Hammer! 

This is my little birthday tribute to the amazing Jan Hammer. I always loved the song "All night long (all night)" by Lionel Richie and thought it was the perfect song to do cover with a Miami Vice twist.

I had a lot of fun creating this short track and used various instruments used in the original show (Jupiter-8, DX7, Fairlight, LinnDrum etc). I took inspiration from Jan's "Voodoo dance", "Crockett's Theme", "Street samba" and more to create this track (mostly the sounds like Steel drums for example). 

I managed to find some sheet music online but I ended up straying away from the original material and began making it my own. I also decided to play at a similar tempo to Crockett's Theme as well. I wanted the track to be a lot shorter, mainly just the intro because I felt like the chorus would be to much, but yet again I suppose I could have brought in the DX7 synth guitar or even the Jazz Guitar DX7 sound!

I'm really pleased with the result, it isn't perfect but it sounds like what you'd hear in the background while Crockett and Tubbs are undercover, chilling in the Ferrari Testarossa.

Thanks Mr. Hammer for all your music over the years. Non-stop awesomeness.
