This is written in honor of Nathional Funk Day. Well, the style is funk but it feels more like smooth jazz with a little kick.

I hope you like:

Hey Rich,

I see you took Callie up on her offer! Nice smile

This is really easy to settle back into and just drift away. You use a wind controller don't you? I have this vague recollection that I've read that in one of your posts from a while back.

If my memory is correct, I just want to say, you really have superb control!

I enjoyed the journey you took me on.

All the best,
Noel

What a tune smile I really found the arrangement on this to be superb. It sounds really professionally mixed, and the atmosphere of the tune is very vibrant.

Great work on this, and thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,

Noel, Thanks for the comments. And, yes I have a wind controller but didn’t use it on this piece. The flute sound is from the Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 woodwinds. It does have nice warm flute sound. It would be fun and have a more personal sound if I use the EWI. I will consider trying to do that.

Deryk,

Thanks for the nice comments. The piece was premastered in Sonar X3. I have been getting a little better at mixing.
