This is an instrumental Jazz song I quickly put together after getting frustrated listening to people fight with each other over politics and other issues on Facebook, the news and other places. I wanted to just put up a "happy" tune to help someone get their mind in a better place. I sure hope it works! There is a little bit of singing in here but it's primarily a guitar song. Thanks for the listen! T

Excellent uplifting tune.

Much more enjoyable than most soporific jazz I've heard lately.
Lovely melodic lead mate.
Cheers

Hi Torrey,
It is a very good track, nice vocals and the melody played on guitar is infectious. Really enjoyed listening to it.
One little thing: Did you use two different instances of reverb for the guitar and the rest of the instruments? There were a few places where I got the feeling that the guitar was in another room than the other instruments. Particularly got that that feeling when the sax took over from the guitar. It might just be me and my bad ears... please ignore if I'm completely wrong here or if you did it deliberately.
Thanks for sharing - I always enjoy your songs!
Will

Torrey,
excellent positive tune!
Very 70s in a good way:)
Great instrumentals and mix. I like minimalist vocals on this, suits very well.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Hey, there, "Torrey Bliss"... The late Gore Vidal described "politics" by dividing up the syllables thusly: “poli-”, a Latin word meaning "many", and "-tics", meaning "bloodsucking creatures"  . Listening to "TURN IT UP" was like switching on my radio and just happening to tune into a real "jam". Your lead guitar is dexterous and sweet, the vocals are fresh and upbeat, and the Real Tracks arrangement makes it all sound like a party is goin' on. So, you wanted to "put up a happy tune"? Well, then, your mission's been accomplished, sir! LOREN

You're right... Listening to your music is a lot better than "listening to people fight with each other over politics and other issues". Thanks!

Torrey,
What a great piece of music! I agree with Sergio's George Benson reference - some awesome guitar work here and I love the vocal interplay - sounds like another instrument...
Wonderful!

Wow!!
That melodic playing is stunning and the vocal touches are the perfect complement to the guitar.
The band is great...the drums and bass work really well.
The entire production is a lovely diversion from all that you mentioned.

PS: Great effects on the photo!

Torrey,
Super.
Really nice guitar. Nice punchy bass. The vocals are a nice added dimension to an instrumental.
A very good mix.
Terrific listen.
