Great rhythm. I especially love how you created that bass appeal. The horn is awesome. Cool blend - Cool Jazz

Hey Tommy, this is just superb all the way! Keith plays that horn to perfection and the arrangement really suits his playing.

All in all, this is a wonderful piece of music!

Congrats,
Mike

Hi Tommy,

When I look at your name on these forums, I see "Tommyc expert" ...



To my mind, that says it all. You are one of most expert musicians I've heard. I have to add to that that when your expertise collaborates with Keith Stone's equally impressive abilities, the music is gold. This song, like so many of your works, could easily feature on jazz radio anywhere in the world.

All the best,
Noel

Tommy I did review this earlier but my post disappeared again!

So again this is super smooth jazz. You guys should get together more often.

Two thumbs up.


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

Hi Eric, I used an Shure SM 81 dry and added some reverb and stereo delay to match BPM, quarter notes on one side and half notes on the other. I think a lot of the good sound was due to Keith's new mouth piece and his technique. Last year he had a metal mouth piece and it was a little harsh compared to the plastic one he used this time. Thanks for listening Eric!
