Whether in your comfort zone or on genre adventures your tunes are always enjoyable.

This one has that good old quintet in a small club vibe.
Something that would entice you in for a set or two.

Well arranged and produced ... love the guitar and sax.

Fun!

Mike, I find myself sitting in a jazz lounge listening to really good jazz
Outstanding use of RTs (as usual) and a great mix (as usual)
That is a really good MIDI guitar
I really liked this one


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Mike, what a great world this would be if everyone lived in walking distance to a CubanPete Club. Man, I hear Dizzy riffs throuhgout and I love it. What a great band. Man, that was fun. Thanks, Mike.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Wow! Thank you guys. I'm glad that this tune was able to "transport" you to a great place. Sometimes that's what we need, and fortunately, this program is able to do that.
Thanks for listening

Just keep on your comfort zone - it's also comfort to listen to your groove. I just didn't like your piano sound. Would you try the elecric piano sounds of playable sound of BiaB? Sax solo save the song thou. Perfect sound and playing. And on the other piano solo part: how about some B3 organ for a change? But that's just my taste as an jazz freak.

I didn't mind the piano. The midi guitar, while generally well executed, seemed to lack some of the subtle dynamics of a real instrument. The sax worked well.
My taste in jazz is a bit more Trad than the free-form "make-it-up-as-you-go-along" style but I enjoyed my listen nonetheless. smile

Hi, right, now, some older midi guitar sounds can lack the actual nuances of a midi guitar sounds, the nature of the beast. On another note, the sound that might be confused for a piano solo, is not, it is also the "guitar" playing. Piano midi is one of those instruments that can sound realistic if one use a nice piano vst which it is also what a mostly use.
In any case, I really appreciate your time to listen.

Cheers
