Love that bossa band and love your playing with it.

Sounds like a band that's played many club nights and has it down!

Very nice Sergio!

Very cool backtrack Sergio. Guitar was very sweet. Super licks and phrasing. Well done. Sounds like your vacation time was very inspirational .

Nice smooth tune Sergio! The flute coming in at 1:46 is a great touch. The guitar flute combo at the end was nice also! Thanks, Torrey

Very well done, Sergio! I love the groove of this one - it had my foot tapping within a measure or two. The arrangement is superb and sounds really crisp and professional. The wind and brass that started getting incorporated around the half way mark really took it to the next level for me.

Great work and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Gorgeous work Sergio.

This tune has so much texture to it, and so much atmosphere.

Really a beautiful production. You should be proud of this one!!

Sergio,
Good to hear from you again; you paint a very relaxing soundscape here. The melody is sweet and your arrangement - particularly the flute and guitar at the end- well done.
Most enjoyable!

Very nice Sergio! Like you, I have been out quite a bit the past few months. I hope to be around more in the near future. So glad I got to hear this one of yours. Nice relaxing Bossa tune. I enjoyed it!

Nice song. A bit dangerous to listen to after lunchtime, it makes it tempting to drift off... wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Sergio Guarneri, love the rhythm and jazz guitar on this. Very easy to listen to and groovey. Very Santana vibe to this. Thanks for sharing!

Wow Sergio,

This is some of the smooth stuff we've ever heard from you.

A new direction, maybe?

Really excellent.

Hello, Sergio

Very nice Latin sounds!
I feel Latin in this tune more than Bossa.
The scent of Bossa is drifting in the flute.
Nice playing!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Really relaxing stuff! You should look into music licensing opportunities; your style fits well as background music.
