Ehem...maybe you shouldn't oversell my tiny contribution to this one. It's obviously your very cool tune, your fine guitars and that sultry sax that are the stars of the show here.

Very cool song and playing. Love the Wes octaves. Nice vibes playing Eddie! Always something special about getting feedback from staff in here, not to mention from "The Man" himself!  But again I must stress I did very little in this one... in fact, after hearing the finalised product, I realised that its creator has graciously increased my part with some very clever editing, that's how tiny my part actually was. So I'm not just playing 'faux humble' here when I say that all the praise should go to those deserving, namely the creator of the tune and that very high level professional sax. I was just happy to be invited for the ride

Sometimes you need a little icing on the cake. You added a nice texture to this!

Oh, yeah! You guys are all right. Man, this is a sweet cake you baked, Ray, and coated it with a thick icing. Your contribution was not overstated, Icelander. This is great music, and a wonderful video.

WOW! This is absolutely fantastic. This sounds like jazz from the early 60's and I loved it! Wes meets Lionel with Coltrane, Mingus, Tatum and Cobb as backing musicians.
This is jazz from one of the best eras of jazz music.
Excellent work gentlemen!
