Very nice instrumental. Nice for late night listening whilst curled up on the sofa with just the Christmas tree to light the room. Merry Christmas!

Hi, Mike.

Nice jazzy sound, with bells to set a bit of Christmas mood. Is that a glockenspiel, crotales, or something else?

Anyway, cool song.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Mike,

It's a very nice sound.
The Christmas mood is well integrated into the jazz.
The soprano saxophone does a good job.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Mike, I almost missed this one.
Smooth jazz at its best.
You know how to massage independent RTs into the perfect songs.
Great work.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
