Alan,
This is beautiful... A lot of feeling in this song and arrangement - great mix as well. Everything breathes just right.

Nice changes and arrangement. I especially like the interaction of the guitar and the sax.
Good stuff, Alan, best of luck in the contest!

Really nice! BIAB is so awesome, even when you just let it 'run free' like this!
Did I hear you sneak in a nice diminished chord somewhere? Gave it an unexpected interesting twist.
Thanks for sharing, Alan, and looking forward to your next submission as well.

Good stuff, Alan, best of luck in the contest! Hi Dave, Thanks for the nice comments. I wondered if possibly the left channel guitar was a little too much. Thanks for verifying the balance id okay. Much appreciated. Alan

fj Hi Floyd, Thanks a bunch. As i told Dave, I thought maybe the guitar was a bit much. Apparently it's okay. Thanks for chiming in with your comments. Much appreciated. Alan

Thanks for sharing, Alan, and looking forward to your next submission as well. Hi@! Thanks for the listen and very kind comments. I'm a big fan of using diminished chords, where appropriate, to add a little character to the song. Another chord I use when I can is the minor 11th. I use it primarily where a 1-2m-5 progression would be common. I simply use the m11 to replace the 2m and 5 chords. the minor 11th is so similar to a 5 chord that it's a perfect melding of the two. probably way more than you wanted to know. Thanks again. Alan

Alan,
A fine, smooth vehicle for that sax.
Nice changes and the mix sounds very good on my headphones.

Best to you re the contest!

Hi Alan,
This is a wonderful listen! Smooth, classy and mixed really well. I hope this does your proud in the competition! I reckon that you have a set of the finest ears going when it comes to composing in this genre. Whenever I listen to your smooth jazz works, I always sit here transfixed. Your musicality shines.
My best wishes to you and Di,
Noel
P.S. I love this title!
