That is some cool drums/percussion.
And that electric piano solo is an excellent choice.

Gotta admit the title certainly made us wonder until we read the post smile

Definitely gotta check him out.

Enjoyed it!

A very nice exploitation of the sound of the electric piano. Great sound and mix. I love it.

A quick glance at the title had me thinking of lobsters. After a quick Internet search, I still think it is. Ha what a waste of time that should have been spent listening to this tune of yours. This is so good, Mike. Hypnotically captivating. Reminds me of a friend from Mexico who'd come visit with his conga. Played for hours just him and me on bass --and sometimes I'd switch to the ESQ-1 and try (unsucessfully) for something this good. Also, I should've read before searching. THat is VERY VERY cool how you used Jeff in this song. LOVE BIAB, and your creative use of it, Mike.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mike, great track..love Lorber..I think you slowed down the tempo and used that slap bass to create a very unique bass track without it getting in the way. Smooth listening, for sure..enjoyed it!

Hi Mike.

This is such smooth-sounding jazz with a twist of Latin.
It's wonderful listening.
I love that bass. I've never heard it before. It is such a perfect fit.
You've done a really great job with this creation.
It's inventive, entertaining and sounds like it's mixed by a professional.

A very pleasurable musical journey.
--Noel

Hi Mike,

Another gem from you. I love the mix of sounds: the Latin percussion and slap bass in particular. It takes a creative mind to come up with that mix!

Thoroughly enjoyable all the way through.

Wishing you the best,

Alan
