This instrumental has very warm sunny summer feeling, especially in the strings and piano - everything mixed nicely together. Enjoyable chord progression. Good listen when heat wave is knocking on the door  Janne

Alan,
No one writes this style of music better than you... You have such a subtle touch - everything fits together so well and has a voice.
Loved it!

I enjoyed this, it brought me back to the 70s and my collection of CTI jazz albums. Great stuff!

What a nice tune! I really enjoyed listening to this. Good choice of instruments and very well produced! It was like listening to an early record from Larry Carlton or Lee Ritenour - very 70/80-ish. Looking forward to hear more music from you! Will

Really well done! Love the upbeat vibe to this - definitely matches the weather where we are lately. Smooth as butter, and nice and easy on the ears. Reminds me of Bob James a bit. Thanks for sharing
Cheers,

Lovely combo. This has a "live" in studio sound that works wonderfully. Excellent movement of the harmonies/progression and the lead is killer. Just great.
