My first recording using some 60bpm RealTracks. Great fun soloing with and comping behind such a great sounding rhythm section as well as the super tenor.

George,
I don't see a reason for not putting a CD together. Your playing and arranging is of such a quality that people would buy it, as background jazz. No one would even think twice about the instruments, since they are blended so well, at least to my ears. I listened to it through both a nice Sony stereo receiver driving the larger Radio Shack/Optima/RCA Minimus speaker systems and a subwoofer, and then I listened to it again through my studio setup, and in both instances, it sounded very good to me. There is a very much 'live' feeling about your music. I could listen to this for much of the day.

Will it win you a Grammy? No, probably not, but for those of us who appreciate the Standards and The Great American Songbook, this is just pure gold.

Haven't heard a rendition of this, one of my favs, since the mid-fifties...think it was Earl Bostick!

Hey, I'd buy your Albums anytime. My kind of vibe!!

Recording has a lot of "up front" presence....compressed to my satisfaction, at least. Wonderful!!

Now that’s music!

Great job.


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

George. I liked it too. Nice and easy on the ears. About the only thing I woud do is bring up the piano where the sax stops playing. It's too far back in the mix. Other than that it's great.

Hey George,

I could listen to that style all day! This arrangement is one of the sweetest ones I have heard.

Great job!

When I tried to listen to your link, it's trying to install an add-on. Just thought I'd let you know.
