Hey Bob,

Good to hear from you. I rarely - OK, never - get this kind of insightful, constructive feedback from the User's Forum. One of the problems with putting this tune together was embedding the live players and doing the bass and keyboard parts myself. There's also a midi violin in there that I forgot to mention.

The idea was not to produce a note-for-note replica of the tune or try to trick listeners into thinking the pianist is Dave Grusin.

Like any tough tune, you're quite right about it needing more work. You hit a lot of points, some of which are the result of SoundCloud itself. The bass sounds right on many systems and is not loud enough on others. Same with the LP played by Willie Gomes (I'm not gonna mention anything about replacing him with a RealTrack).

I very much appreciate these kind of detailed comments, regardless of whether or not I'm able to perform suggested corrections.

With kind regards,

Dean Clark (aka Aleck Rand)
