Will, I'm probably a little old fashioned in saying the rhythm section is a bit strong for a dance ensemble. There's no particular common melody the soloists are riffing on so, for my ears, there's was a dress and silk stockings but nothing to hang them on.
Cool vibe though.


Cheers

I can hear this piece being quietly played in a lounge or dinner club...
Its also another demonstration of strengths of Biab...
Nicely done.

Very nice mood, I could imagine this played in a Black and white art movie with polite conversation and lots of smoking smile I like that bass.

Classy! Man that bass cuts right through the mix in a perfect way...did you use any processing on it?

Enjoyed it.

Hi rayc,

I know that you didn't mean that comment to be a compliment, but I actually think it was, because that is how I wanted it to be - that is how I often experience lounge-music in international hotels to be... technical good but with no particular purpose. smile

Thank you very much for listening!

Thanks a lot, Janne! Oh, how I miss the good old days where smoking were allowed and the good conversations were happening inside the bar and not outside in the alley. smile

Thanks for listening, J&B!

I cut a bit down on the low frequencies of the other instruments (to "make room") but actually didn't do anything to the bass itself.

Will,
If that was your aim you achieved it very well.
I'm no fan of lounge music - not even in an "ironic" context.
I think you've highlighted the weakness of some jazz.
I'm sorry that my compliment was back handed.


Cheers

Will,

This exudes class and way you look at it. That walking acoustic bass is so sweet! I love to dance to this kind of music. If Di weren't disabled, I'd have her out on the living room floor!

That was a true musical treat! Thank you for the enjoyment of listening! Wishing you the very best!

Will,
Nice lounge piece! Contrary to rayc, I think it fully supports the genre it is written in. I know a local gentleman who plays this type of music at restaurants / clubs for years now, if people did not like it, he would be out of job:) It is "mood" music, not message. I think you done good work with arrangement and mix on this.

Thank you.

Misha.
