Nice smooth jazz. I loved the chord changes in this.


My suggestion is that you have a closer look at the reverb on the piano. It sounds like it's not in the same room with the band. Either move the band or move the piano player. Personally, I'd move the piano player and make the keys sound more intimate and closer.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Rod,

Very relaxing. I agree with Greg, it was done too soon! I'll have to head back for another listen now.

I was going to make a note on that reverb but I see someone beat me to it, so this instead: Adding Realtracks would be the next step for you to look into, or certainly RealDrums if nothing else. You got a very melodic quality to your compositions which I find quite appealing and deserving of that next phase. Keep it up!


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Rod I was just getting into your song when it ended. Nice piece! I agree that realtracks and the changing the reverb would do wonders.

Hi Rod, nicely put together and quite melodic. Like the others have mentioned, real tracks could give it more color. Overall, not bad though.
