Thanks. I really enjoyed your relaxing tune with a sentimental sax and wonderful vibes - those are one of my favourite instruments too seldom to be heard these days. Very pro production in deed.

Who doesn't love a nice set of brushes and a sultry sax interspersed with tinkling vibes?! Really nice piece.

Gary Burton was a sensational performer, and certainly left his mark in the music industry. A nice remembrance.

Mike, you really nailed that Gary Burton and Stan Getz vibe.
Outstanding song
Outstanding mix
Loved it.

PS - where is Pat Metheny wink

Mike-

One of my favorite Gary Burton albums is "Quartet Live", with Pat Metheny, Steve Swallow, and Antonio Sanchez. One of the best vibe/sax teams was Mike Mainieri and Michael Brecker (it's like they had a psychic connection). Was a very enjoyable listen.


Warmest regards,

Thank you guys, I always enjoy opening this kind of conversation about a certain musician or style. Very educative. As far as Pat Metheney, I have to find a suitable style and sound to emulate him. I will look.

Cheers

Hi Mike,

So smooth and relaxing! I'm not familiar with Gary Burton. I'll have to check him out. Lionel Hampton has always been at the top of my list for vibes. He and Steve Allen, on piano, used to improvise a lot on Steve Allen's TV show back in the early 60s.

I'll give Gary a listen tonight before I go to bed. I love this kind of music. You've put together a wonderful piece of music. I'm glad I4 had the opportunity to listen to it. Very nice!!!

Best to you,

Alan

Mike,
That is a great tribute to Mr. Burton.
We found it very cool that you paired the vibes with a sax per his preference.
Your mix is excellent and your BiaB Wrecking Crew never fails to please.

Well done and most enjoyable,

J&B
