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!
J&B Sorry for the late answer, many thanks for always kind comments. Sergio

Very cool backtrack Sergio. Guitar was very sweet. Super licks and phrasing. Well done. Sounds like your vacation time was very inspirational . Many thanks Scott. Glad you like the song and my playing. It wasn't vacation time but working time  Sergio

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 Thanks Torrey, I like flute, clarin sound so when I can I put it in the music at the place of sax or fiddle. This time it sounded good. Sergio

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  What a great comment. I am really happy you liked my music. Sergio

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!
Robert Thanks for kind comment Robert. Very appreciated. Sergio

Nice song. A bit dangerous to listen to after lunchtime, it makes it tempting to drift off...  Thanks for listening and comment. I agree with you: I like more energic music but howewer it was the lake and the fog .....  Sergio

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! Many thanks Joe. I'm really proud every time you feel Santana vibe in my music. Sergio

Wow Sergio,
This is some of the smooth stuff we've ever heard from you.
A new direction, maybe?
Really excellent.
Many thanks for kind comment. No, I don't think it's a new direction. I play what I feel in each moment and in the last time I've made a lot of latin music. This time it was jazz/bossa. Next time?? We will see it.  Sergio

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.
Shigeki Adachi You are right Shigeki. I feel more latin than bossa too. The real tracks set I used is really great and it was easy to combine my latin playing with BiaB bossa style. Sergio

Really relaxing stuff! You should look into music licensing opportunities; your style fits well as background music. Many thanks for kind comment. I'd like to look into music licensing opportunities but I've not enough time to follow my music distribution so I am happy to be on the forum and share my music with all of you. Sergio
